Hmm the coastal option is just that bit too far away, similarly Pleasington/Preston. The vision is that i should be able to nip out at first light and get 9 in and still get back in time for breakfast, Wigan side of Bolton is about the boundary for me. I guess I gravitate to the courses on...

First post in a while, finally got round to sorting the password out. Question for NW based golfers, looking for some insider knowledge. I'm based in Leicestershire and am a member at Charnwood Forest but have roots and family in Wigan (Ashton in Makerfield to be exact) I've got a job and a...

I have just come off the back of a fitting with Iain Clarke from ICY golf, first time I have ever had this sort of fitting and it was an absolute revalation. First up we measured the lofts of my existing Cleveland. What I thought was 49/56/60 degree. Was actually 46/56/62!!! I always though my...
