Guy I played with at the weekend smacked his club against his bag in disgust...a bag that contained his brand new gps range finder...that is now a very broken and useless gps range finder...oops

Anyone got any good suggestions for a golf holiday? I'm looking for inspiration.

I recently went to Argentina on business and was lucky to play a course just outside Buenos Aires. Los Olivos - what a great course :)

It's a sign of the times...golf club memebership is falling fast

Wow – seems I’ve opened a can of worms here. Some really good postings and I can I can see why some of the higher handicappers are concerned about being labelled bandits just because they have a good round. I’m like most of you i.e. I'm the first to shake the hand of a worthy opponent...

I agree but take a look at the golf courses and splendid hotels in the Hainaut region. Mons is a thriving city with excellent nightlife and in Royal Golf Club du Hainaut you will discover one of the best golf courses in northern Europe. There is other good golf around Mons notably Golf Mont...

No - it was an inter-work match. I would guess this guy goes nowhere near official competitions

Sorry to bore you all but I have to get this off my chest. I thought the EGU 'active' handicap system was designed to rid the game of badits (aka cheats). I'm here to tell you it hasn't. I am spitting feathers over a recent drubbing at the hands of someone whose 24 handicap in no way a...

If the ball had entered the lateral hazard, there is no problem. Because it is a lateral hazard, you can drop to the side of the red marker within 2 club lengths but no nearer the hole.

I'd stick to the tried and tested Excel if I were you...or you could bite the bullet and set up your own website that a) records your courses b) invites others to record theirs

I have. Beware playing golf there from April to October. Far too hot. Otherwise it's ok

The major problem for me has been the massive fall of the Pound against the Euro - nearly 30% in 12 months. This means golf holidays to Spain and Portugal etc for UK golfers will increase dramatically even though the hotels and golf courses have held their € prices.

If you don't know what you want, it's hard for them to help you. I'm in the golf travel business and believe me, there are hundreds of special offers out there - good hotels and good golf courses at bargain prices. So I suggest you decide how much you want to pay and then be guided by them. Any...

My clubs were fitted for me so I don't want them damaged - period. For this reason I have a hard golf travel bag to afford the clubs maximum protection. I confess I come unstuck with Ryanair who put a ridiculously low weight allowance (and excessively high charge) on golf clubs and my hard bag...

Have had 2 and saw neither. The first was to a raised green. We heard it hit the pin but only saw it after we got onto the green. The second was after we'd been stuffed in a pairs match and had just shaken hands with the winners. On the next hole I hit a sweet shot to a par 3 and turned to my...
