    Baselayers.

    I’m a fan of UA and never have a problem getting in or out but maybe 2XL has a bit more give…irrespective this Amazon Black Friday deal is the best I’ve seen...

    Do you play rounds without a driver?

    After a couple of visits to Rustington TopTracer range where I found although on average I carry my driver further, my 3w is actually about 10 yards longer, I haven’t even put the big stick in the bag the couple of months. I may need to change in the winter if the fairways stop rolling.

    At what point does a membership become value for money?

    i always play three times a week, Tuesday, Thursday and at least once on the week end, plus summer knock outs and then the odd last minute social, so a minimum of 175 times a year, I also play free snooker at least twice a week so even at £1350 membership plus drinks plus £25 a week fuel it is...

    Golf Random Irritations

    For the first time in my 22 years membership we have been closed for 3 or 4 odd days due to course flooding, previously we’ve had fog and low cloud and of course snow but never that much rain. Next day no restrictions including buggies but this year really has been a massive outlier.

    Golfbidder on ebay

    I've recently sold on Ebay most of the families old ‘modern’ clubs…mens, womens, left and right hand…everything went for what I wanted, which was all reasonable because I needed to move it but I was amazed at how much over ‘target’ the two sets of clubs went for. I'm going to be listing a few...

    Best golf snacks

    I like 4 streaky bacon sandwiches before I leave home and a couple of Mars bars on the way round…oddly enough quite similar to my match day diet when I was playing rugby.

    Radical thought - Pass Level 1 Rules test or you're not allowed to play in comps??

    No, I’ve never been involved in any kind of rules debate in a ‘club’ comp, so that's not been an issue but if I was unsure I’d suggest we consult the pro at the end of the round before signing cards and recording scores. If I'm playing with my usual group of friends we tend to ask if everyone is...

    Random Irritations

    Ditto as per this mornings forecast but when I got to the club for a few frames of snooker and a couple of pints it was a perfect day for golf!

    Radical thought - Pass Level 1 Rules test or you're not allowed to play in comps??

    32/50, no prep, number of penalty shots is the greatest issue, however, I think its a pretty pathetic score for some one who has been playing for the thick end of 50 years…I avoid on course rules discussions/disagreements like the plague!

    Best service you've ever had at a Golf Club in the UK?

    Funny you say that, Trump Doonbeg, stayed three nights, played twice with a society, the staff were outstanding.

    Golf Random Irritations

    Mine is about the professIonal game, so obvious when televised…I’d like to see caddies only carrying clubs and attending flags, I don’t want them reading putts, or telling the player the line into the green, the distance, the club and how to hit the shot, if the player can’t do this him or her...

    Very popular ball, durable, good feel off the club, Callaway promote it quite often which makes it great value.
