I always wear Puma Nitro shoes as they as comfortable as it gets. You can't really beat them for the price.

The shop in Thurrock is good with plenty of stock, but it pales in comparison to the king of golf shops at Silvermere. As a left hander, I've bought most of my clubs from there. The course is decent too considering you can play it for only £30 at the right time.
Also, instead of affiliating...
World ranking points should simply be 1 point per $1 (USD) earned on a rolling 2 year basis. This shouldn't include money paid to players to be contracted or the bonus at the PGA Tour Championship, just money earned in the individual format in each tournament.
Don't have any temporary greens anymore, they were phased out last year thankfully. I wouldn't bother playing if more than a couple of holes were on them.
Just looked at Alnmouth, looks great. Would be an easy £2,000 if it was in Kent. Would also love to see what they spend to keep the membership fees at £735, and how it compares to round here too.
A hypothetical, yet realistic example... say there are two clubs. One in the North East that charges £600 per year, one in the South East that charges £2,000 per year. Both clubs say that their membership fees will increase 10% purely due to the running costs of the existing club. No excess...
