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!
Course pure white with frost when we teed off at 830 in Monthly Stableford this morning. Part frozen greens until they thawed by the turn. Ball pinging , bouncing and skidding through them for the first 7 holes.. Only 20 braved it as bordering farcical conditions and was carry only. Holed a 10...
Had my putter for 34 years now. A Lynx USA 7 blade. Have had great rounds with it over the years and holed many a clutch putt, but the last 3-4 months am really struggling to hole the putts and is costing me in comps. Confidence has been drained somewhat so not sure whether I need to spend more...
I remember seeing the lead singer of Keane, Tom Chaplin at our old club last Summer. As fans of his band, we had a very un-intrusive 1 minute chat with him on the range. Would never have pictured him as a golfer before so had a quick google search about his golf life later on when home. Turns...
Not sure if you will find a cheaper pair of golf strides than these. Just need to not mind a snazzy red colour, be a 28W, a 34L and have a spare 50p !

Surprised they played from the same tees considering he carries it 300. Couldnt work out if he had moved fwd with her or her back with him. Even so, maybe its shot tracer, but he just doesn't seem to hit the ball straight enough off the tee and looks like he's always fighting a hook.
Nice to...
Each to their own. I thought much of it was on point, Bryson took it well. They have some good stuff on their channel, all tongue in cheek, and are well known throughout pro circuit. Called the back off challenge to get people to back off their shot, all in pro-ams. Cringe fest for many without...
Bullard back on golf life after his 'back injury' that caused him to bail out of Open Qualifying 2 days before the off. I would have thought after 3 months out with this injury he would be using a trolley, just like Colsaerts in the latest video, but he is carrying his bag, and bouncing around...
Not sure how true but I remember a story that Bruce Forsythe back in the day tried to join. He was rejected but there was a clause then if you had a property within a certain boundary of the course, you would be accepted. Apparently he bought such a property to circumnavigate their decision, so...
I simplified it to be honest. But it was a basket of chicken, chips, onion rings and sausages, served up at about 10pm when the beer was flowing.
A massive basket on each table and way too much for 4 of us. Never had a value day of golf like that in my 40+yrs of playing.
As for the 70's...
Yes mate. If you look at their FB page , he was there the next day overseeing work. Members we played with said that the club raised 60k for course work Inc a new practice area and range. Apparently PM matched that out of his own pocket
And lastly. Cruit Island today . 60 euro for me and 15 euro for junior for 18 holes. Could have got this for half this price with a G Ireland membership but even at this price, an absolute steal. Incredible place. For me beats St Patrick'sat Rosapenna hands down which was almost 5 times the...
The polar opposite happened In Ireland yesterday, so only fair to report. As 2 non members on holiday, we put our names down earlier in the week and were accepted to make up a 4 ball in a Club team event at Dunfanaghy GC. For just £24 euro we played 18 holes in their Annual charity comp, and...
Was 6 shots worse than you. 20mph winds and way too many 3 putts. Loved first 6 holes and 14,15,16. The rest at the time I found just OK. Weird last hole for a course such as this. 5 1/2 hour round following 4 painful Americans with caddies who must have thought they were in the Ryder Cup...
