Hi all, I'm off to Stow on the Wold next weekend for a wedding and have managed to get a few of the lads together for a cheeky pre-wedding round on the Friday morning (weddings on the Sunday), groom, father of the bride etc. Theres 8 of us with handicaps ranging from 9 through to 24, so...

Wow that's very interesting as diving was something I was genuinely considering as a career a few years back, as I'm now married with a little one I don't know if the time spent away from home would be an option but it really does appeal as a career. How did you go about starting out and getting...

Could I ask what you do for a living now, what you did before and how you went about the change (training, finances etc)? Only asking as I am 32 myself and am desperate for a career change but really don't know where to start at the minute!

Before I start, I would like to say that I hope no one takes offence to this post, that is not my intention at all, as I appreciate there are probably several 'portly' forum members on here, myself needing to lose a couple pounds included!! My question is, what is your opinion of the larger...

Hi all, just after a bit of advice and opinions from these forums as there seems to be a good mixture of ages and personalitys that may be able to help me. Basically I am desperate for a career change. I currently work as a production engineer for a chemical manufacturer and have been here for...

Playing Sherwood Forest next week for £35 which includes a full English, not a bad deal for the 93rd ranked course in Britain!

I have read many posts on here recently and in the past of forum members who have played free rounds of golf, sometimes on some fantastic courses! I am just wondering how these things have come about? Is it through your work/profession, ie corporate days or schoomzing clients, or mates/members...

Looks like I am on my own on this one so far then, could be bad luck I guess.. If anyone is interested, the offending courses are, Park Hill - Very arrogant pro shop staff, unwelcoming club in general. Oakmere Park - Rude, unhelpful pro. Stapleford Park - Cracking course but some hideously...

Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the welcome you generaly get from the club shop pro(s) and club members themselves when you play courses other than your own as a paying visitor? I have to say my experiences over the last 2-3 years or so of playing in and around the Leicestershire...

GB72 - I played Luffenham with my dad in November for his birthday and we got on fine, think it was Monday. Evesdad - Shame about temps at Lingdale, I've not played it for a while but the front nine and 17-18 are lovely. I would avoid Beedles personally, it's always packed and I have had...

I live in Leicestershire and have played the majority of courses in and around the Leicester area so have a decent idea of where you could play. Obviously it depends on your budget but I would fully recommend Longcliffe GC which is near to Loughborough, it is about 25 minutes drive from central...

Is Keegan Bradley now going to take the mantle of golfs most irritating player? I personally thought he was an absolute disgrace this weekend, spitting all over the course the way he did was just disgusting for starters and I do hope someone has a word in his ear about it. However, I found his...

I have recently come out the other end of your situation. I have been playing (not too seriously albeit) for about 2 years now and it is only in the last 6 months that I have regulary shot below 100. I am averaging 92-98 a round and have not gone above 100 for the last 18 rounds. I know exactly...

Judging by the replys so far it looks like I just had a one off bad experience with them, maybe their online staff are not as competent as their in-store colleagues! Hopefully the new gear will turn up in the next day or two though....

I know what you mean about the budget, but I am not surprised after how much we all pay per month for a subscription, I am currently paying just over £500 a year for a tv package only! I have been toying with the idea of getting rid of Sky but (sad as it is) realistically I know it won't happen...
