We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!
Hi Golfsaint
I had on for Apex irons there in Sept last year.
Make sure you arrive refreshed... don't be half asleep like I was!
Take a 6 iron, remember if your clubs are older like mine were, your 6 may have the equivolent loft to modern 5 iron.
They have a huge range of shafts available -...
HI
I normally play serveral singles events every year (pretty much given up pairs though & matchplays due to some of the ridiculous scoring you see in those). On my roster for the year:
Fleetwood GC
Green Haworth GC
Carden park GC
Whalley GC
Swinton Park GC
Morecombe
Baxenden
Lytham Green...
MendieGK - England Golf have in the past sort of done this - they let you put 3 cards into them and get a handicap for their own comps. Its sort of a restricted handicap as I think you have to do the same every year & can only play in England Golfs comps.
Leisure Lakes - a NON-measured course...
With regard to this last comment, my handicap is full congu. The issuing course will allow me to play in comps there as any other full member, I just have a green fee to pay as well as the comp entry fee.
Its not the only course that offers this sort of membership combined with pay & play...
I have another option for you all.
I have a full congu handicap through Deanwood Park Nomadic golfer scheme. Its only £50 per year.
I play open singles comps through the year at a cost of between £5 and £20 a time (normally about 8-10 comps per year).
These are all courses presented in...
I THINK we have moved off the point.
The issue is that DISTANCE improvement claims are not justified when you have just RE-NUMBERED the clubs to get them I think?
Personnaly I carry a laser and use the same balls all the time.
These two things mean that with wedges & short irons I am never...
Earlier this year I nearly bought some Wilson Ci9 or Ci11 irons - they added 10-15yards.
When I checked the lofts, its the same story as the RBZ irons, they have just fiddled with the lofts making their 7 iron the equivolent loft of my 6 iron.
There is only so far they can go with this design...
Its just fiddling with the lofts & lies or should I say LieZ?
May old sticks have these specs:

Further SCANDAL on this mis-managed tournament, a friend of mine (tied 72nd on 41 points) turned up on the day and was told that although he qualified, he could not play even though they only had 70 of the 72 placed filled on the day and two groups were 3's instead of 4 balls - it was too much...
Anyone know what won on the day at the Belfry?
I have been told that there were a few pairs registering there wearing Identical club shirts/jumpers hmmm......
(they weren't just caddying either)
I still cant see those over 46 as being possible. Escpecially like the 55 who is already a single figure player.
Shame on the players who posted the scores.
Shame on the Organisers for soiling Seve's name and letting these guys get away with it.
