    Fourball with 3 sets of clubs !!!!!

    Do they allow 2s, 3s and 4s to play with the incorrect number of sets of clubs at your course?

    Fourball with 3 sets of clubs !!!!!

    Do you not know the basic rules of golf numpty, do you know any rules of golf?? But I suppose you go out 4,5, or maybe a 6 ball and F**k everyone else. Football shirt, jeans and 6 cans of Stella in the bag. Private club or Municipal, neither I suspect as you seem to think that the rules of golf...

    Fourball with 3 sets of clubs !!!!!

    We had a two sharing one set of clubs on saturday. The man and a woman were walking down the 8th, the man was walking with an electric trolley, this was around 1.30pm, prime time. I walked over to them and asked why they were sharing a set of clubs as this was against club rules. "NO its not"...

    any where open?

    If you or anyone would like to come and play at JOG you are very welcome. Just let me know and we can sort a game out. Played today, course looking very very good, back on main tees.

    any where open?

    Both our courses are open if you fancy a game at midday on Saturday. Depending on how fast you drive you could get here in an hour.x

    Is your club your local club?

    John OGaunt is 20-25 mins from me depending on traffic, 15 from work. Mount Pleasant, a 9 hole course, soon to be 18, is just across the fields or 5mins in the car. Letchworth is 15-20 mins away. Beadlow about the same. But none of them comes close to JOG for facilities and more importantly the...

    New putter advice.. feel or technical..

    Have been using a Ping Anser for years. I was in our Pro shop the other sunday talking to Shaggy, one of our pros, and whilst walking round I was looking in the putter rack and saw the new Odyssey 2-ball, or to give it its full title The Odyssey Works Versa 2-Ball Fang Putter with a Superstroke...

    How's your course looking?

    Both JOG and Carthagina looking good, but like everywhere else they are about 3 weeks behind because of the cold weather. Greens are very firm, in good nick but still seeding, they should be finished soon then green staff can quicken them up. The rough is getting thick but its only about 38mm so...

    How's your course shaping up?

    Let me clarify my comment about setting the course up for scratch players, which I think was taken a bit out of context. If you go and play a top golf course, Woodhall for example, you want to be tested, you want top quality quick greens, if you hit it off line you expect to be punished to a...

    How's your course shaping up?

    Both courses coming on nice, but desperately need some more rain. New 7th green, 8th tee and 11th tee on JOG. New 8th tee on Cathagena. Work done over the winter has improved both courses. AmandaJR, if you set the course up for the minority I presume you mean your low handicappers. Surely this...

    Oops just bought some blades

    Your handicap is 16 and you have got blades to improve your ball striking??????? May I suggest that you practice a lot, get down to low single figures, then consider buying some. You will not improve your ball striking just BECAUSE you have blades. If your ball striking is not good with your...

    Rubbish Golf Gift Thread

    Got 6 Pro V1s off my cousin. On closer inspection both boxes were different, so I had a look at the balls. 1 box has Pro V1. 392(Feb 2001- Jan2003) on them the other has Pro V1-392(Feb2005-Jan2007) on them. I checked the printing on the Titleist web site and that's what dates the balls were...

    Do courses have a yearly plan

    JOG are pretty good with their planning. The 11th tee box on JOG, which had become uneven, has been dug up, trees removed and redesigned. The 7th green on JOG has been dug up, flattened out a little(scary putting on the old one in the summer), bunkers more defined, trees removed so that more...
