    Dangerous Courses?

    http://tinyurl.com/mhbcznh That should solve it. Not sure how you would play though.

    What are you best at? Par 3's, 4's, 5's or no preference.

    Par 70 I am afraid. Not sure about SS as don't have a scorecard to hand as haven't played it for a while and it doesn't say on their website. http://www.hurtmore-golf.co.uk/courses/hurtmore-golf-course/hole-18.html I would imagine members there can probably get their handicap down quite quick...

    Red Ed

    I am no Ed Miliband fan but can't help but feel this is only going to make them a bit more hated, seems a poor PR move to me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24395790

    Red Ed

    Labours economic policy: Sell gold at between $250-$296 for a short term gain and to fund even more excessive spending 9 years later regret the decision when gold is at $1,896.50 Missed out on profits of circa 9 billion. That could have built a couple of hospitals but probably wouldn't have...

    For all you dog lovers

    One more litter and you can have iron covers as well. My mother in law was looking at getting one of these but ended up going for a Sussex Spaniel in the end (not sure of the jump between the two).

    Fill the awkward silence...........

    "sometimes I think you would rather do the ironing than talk to me but I don't mention it do I?" I think I would get an imprint of an iron on my forehead if I had the balls to say that.

    The course is 5530 yards. They are crazy short holes, the 4th (235 yards) I picked my driver out and spanked it particularly straight for me and it overshot the green and ended up hanging in mid air in the netting behind the hole. It only has one par 5 which is 537 and then only one other hole...

    Fill the awkward silence...........

    I just do my best to irritate her when I am around the house and then she caves and says "just go to golf as you are annoying me". Works every time.

    What are you best at? Par 3's, 4's, 5's or no preference.

    Like someone else said I think it depends on the course. There is a course near me that has a number of par 4's that you can drive the green on and the ones that you can't it leaves you with a pretty short chip in. To prove I am not talking forum drives: 4-235 7-273 8-287 11-272 17-256 There...

    The weekend thread - I cant wait to play!

    Playing 12 holes on Saturday which will be my first time out with some new clubs and then got a full 18 at 8am on Sunday morning with about 9 of us so looking forward to that. Hoping that my quick runout on Saturday will help with the new clubs for sunday so I don't completely embarrass myself.

    Extreme Golf Available in Shropshire

    If you liked playing Church Stretton I would also recommend playing Kington. It is a nice course with some fun holes but it is the highest course in England (I think) and it has sheep wandering around it so something a bit different. Can't remember the green fees but they were pretty cheap and...

    Baseball caps on the course

    I wear mine when it is sunny to keep the sun out of my eyes and I wear it when it is raining to try and limit the rain on my glasses so I can sometimes see where the ball goes. Still doesn't stop me having no idea where it went but I think I have been reading the forum too long as I am sure it...

    Baseball Cap Fitting Opportunity

    I bought a starter hat to get into it but I am worried I wasted my money. Should I pay for a fitting or will I get more hat for my money at hatbidder, maybe even have enough left over for a ball marker attachment? I normally go for brighter hats so people don't take their tee shots when I am...

    Anyone playing with injuries..?

    I had a car accident about 5 years ago and my back has never been right since but just had to make small changes like a push trolley rather than carrying. My right wrist also clicks every time I move it from the same accident and I apparently have super tomatoes in my shoulder (Supraspinatus...

    What Would Entice You to Spend More Time/Money in the Clubhouse

    As Andy said opening times is the biggest one but unfortunately it isn't profitable for them to do it. I played a twilight session at a club near me so headed out at 4. Back to the clubhouse at 7:30ish and the bar is shut and the clubhouse is all locked up. In fairness they do warn you to...
