More cheap escapade’s. The battery arrived, I put the wires on and used the Motocaddy charger. After about 5 hours it went green so all good. The battery is about 5mm too tall for the bag I bought but I can cram it in and just get it closed. Tried it in the trolley and unfortunately when in...

Another update on the cheap grips. Put one on my 54 wedge and you can actually feel the align when it’s on a club, also doesn’t feel as slippery after a quick wash with some Fairy. New fear is the cheap grip tape I got from AliExpress. Just a few minor issues with it like it was an inch short...

These arrived yesterday and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. They say “align” on them but there is no ridge, it’s completely flat. The corded top part feels smooth, not sure how much grip it is going to provide. I might put one on a wedge to test but if I have to chase my wedge...

I'm the same, I'm usually short all day on slower greens and I'll chastise myself the whole way round for leaving it short only to knock it 6 foot past on the last and let out a sarcastic "finally got it to the hole".

My Motocaddy trolley is going really slow even with the speed set to 9 so I think the battery is on it's way out (over 6 years old, think I bought it in November 2019). Was in two minds whether to get a new trolley as it's the big five oh this year as a treat or just get a new battery. As usual...

Drove it OK but a couple of drives that I didn't quite catch cost me 2 shots as I ended up in ditch and in a lone gorse bush which I should have cleared. Irons were poor, missed a lot of greens or didn't hit it close. Chipping was excellent, knocked everything close. Putting was garbage, missed...

Probably around £20M for Lando, maybe £10M for Piastri?

13 knockoff golf pride align midsize grips from AliExpress for £30.64 delivered. Roughly the same price as 2.5 genuine ones, so if they are crap then I guess 2 of my wedges aren’t getting new grips. 😂

Would be as well as putting on your laminate flooring. Is it still quick if you have the mat on top of carpet? I remember years ago I had a cheap mat and on the flooring it was lightning quick but on top of a rug it really slowed down.

I like Newbiggin as well, really enjoyed the last couple of years but the plan was always to go back to Arcot at some point. If I could play both days on the weekend I’d probably have kept both memberships.

Turns out they were right not to give it. 😁

Awful, absolutely awful. Had 5 doubles, can’t remember the last time I did that. Just couldn’t get the pace of the greens at all, everything was 6 foot short or 6 foot past. Rounded off a shocking round by missing a 10 inch putt to win our doubles match, could only laugh or else I might have...

Bad planning but still sounds like a good weekend.

I’m the opposite, I don’t mind that so much but 4 shots seems excessive. When I joined my current club I played in a member run sweep that first winter. They had my initial handicap as my index rather than my playing handicap so I lost a couple of shots. I didn’t mind though, I would have...

I’m currently sitting here in Teemu joggers and £10 polo from County Golf…
