I may not have been clear, my issue is not with alterations being made to the club, as I said I would be happy with a 12 hole golf course if they were 12 good hole. It is the one size fits all approach that Golf360 have taken. The plans for Teign Valley are exactly the same as the other 4...

I think a lot of sensible solutions on there already. 10 minutes gaps between tee times. A group I played with always wanted to tee off as soon as the previous group was out of range. They were a quick group and that just invited trouble. Once lost ball from the group in front and you're...

If you come across this company, looking to buy your club or somewhere near you. Be warned they will gut the club and create a useless entity. They bought my club Teign Valley last year. Recently they have announced that the club will be closing in November as it isn't financially sustainable...

I'm will be about an hour away, North Devon roads being what they are

I'm moving back to Devon in the spring, saunton is still a bit of a drive, but definitely thinking of saunton as an option Though you be fair saunton is a bit of a drive from everywhere

Callaway chrome soft at the moment because GM were kind enough to give me a few dozen If buying them I like the Bridgestone BXS, initially because they were a bit cheaper for premium balls, especially the ones with Tiger printed on them £28 per dozen when I got them Then I found they span...

For most handicap golfers avoiding 3 putts is going to better their scores more than holing 1/50 long putts

I think to be fair old style blades from like the 80s give the impression that blades are impossible to hit unless you're very good. Whereas I think modern MB like I play with are hitting like those razor blades and in terms of ease to hit are no different from my old cavity backs

Getting back into golf Went to the driving range yesterday and my dad took video on his tablet so I could have a look. Was going across the line at the top, due to a flying right elbow. Quick Google gave me a fix of rotating my right forearm at address so it can't flare on the back swing...

If over the days, have an individual with teams getting points, a team stroke play foresoms with points then on the Sunday matchplay bracketed based on the standings of day 1 and 2

I didn't say it was the aim, just wondering

How much distance do people think will be required for pros to lose in order for courses to be played as they were originally designed? I.e. bunkers in play, angle of shots etc

It's a startup so much as it's still fairly new. But unlike most start ups it has pretty much unlimited funds backing it up and as such already has more financial clout than the biggest and wealthiest established tour. In that sense it's not really a start up at all

Bearwood Lakes, had the privilege of playing there, was a bit apprehensive as it's quite an intimidating place, needing to call to be let in the gate. Very expensive, members only. I arrived in my beat up Renault and unbranded clothing, feeling very out of place. The staff were all so...

My old course in Devon, one which I was planning on rejoining when I relocate back. Was recently taken over by a national golf firm. Rumours are they want to reduce it a 12 hole course and build holiday lodges on part of the land. I can only see this as a death knell for the club if they do...
