New spikeless shoes arrived from Druids today. Get to say I'm really impressed with them for the price. And they fit wonderfully which is a small miracle for my feet. I did want to try a few pairs at my local AG to get an idea of how different brands fit but they don't stock anything past a size 11

I'm making an assumption based on your username that your course is Bracken Ghyll in West Yorkshire. There's a Toptracer range at Express Golf in Shipley fairly close by and personally I love the setup with that type of range for having some data on all your shots.

Spent a couple of weeks off the course after a terrible round, had a lesson in the morning before a round in the afternoon on my own. Finally broke 100! Out in 45 but the heat was getting to me on the last few (mainly uphill) holes causing a pressure putt from 8ft to make 99. The new putter...

Popped into the driving range at Express Golf and had a look around the shop. Came out with a 52* and 56* Vokey SM8 wedges. Felt great on the range so hoping that translates to the course. They also had a bag full of Odyssey Stroke Lab putters going for £119 each so i picked up the R-Ball shape...

First round out with another couple of members to get my first score for my initial handicap. First time off the white tees there. Started well, got to the par 5 6th, bladed the 3rd shot wedge way past the green. Or it would have been if it didn't hit a tree by the green and bounce kindly to...

I'm joining Woodhall Hills, in the end it came down to that and Willow Valley as they are the closer, I can be at each one in about 15 minutes. The more I thought about it, being closer was a bigger factor for membership, I'll still be able to play the other courses I've liked the look of. I...

Had my own Sergio Garcia moment. Thought I could hit over/through a tree, hit the tree then rolled 10 yards behind me. Handed in my membership form before the round so I feel the course was giving me a nice welcome!

Played Woodhall Hills for the first time as it's one of those I'm considering membership at. Really enjoyed the course and was looking like I might break 100 for the first time, had a nightmare at 14 to 16 with an 8, 9, 9, then realised in all the excitement of playing ok (for me) I'd...

I found a TP5x last week, used it and made a great par (I'm still trying to break 100 so a par feels special). Put it in the water on the following hole so there might be something in balls wanting to be lost.

Same, although only because I enjoy winding up my mate who is a Packers fan. He then reminds me about the current state of the Texans.

I live by Odsal Stadium in Bradford. Dewsbury is the furthest at about half an hour away and is mainly on the list as my partner's uncle is a member there. The rest are all 20 mins drive or less, for Howley Hall that's probably a bit too relient of the M62 not being it's usual self though.

Played at Willow Valley on the Championship course, wasn't expecting that it would be where I'd break 100 for the first time, and I was very correct! Some holes there are pure evil. I love it!

I'll try and dig them out (they're at the back of the past-move storage), but I don't remember them having anything saying what range they were. Howley Hall looks nice, might be the one for this weekend's round. Only 5-day memberships open currently according to their website but I'll ask when...
