I see your £100 and will raise it to £120

I wholeheartedly agree. Villas are the way to go We have booked a villa with private pool and hot tub in Davenport for £90 a night next year.

Few more to consider / investigate Southern Dunes - one of my personal favourites. Take your bunker A-game! White Heron - water, water everywhere. Formally known as Ridgewood Lakes Grand Cypress - 27 holes ex LPGA venue. Wouldn't bother with the links. Bella Colina - can be pricy. Stunning...

I think some folks need to appreciate the difference in free golf ( the original premise) and free membership.

I played a charity day years ago where on one hole you had to donate £5 to roll a dice. Throw a 6 you could use your driver (or a club of your choice) to tee off Throw a 5 you could use a fairway wood to tee off Throw a 3 or 4 you had to use a 6 iron to tee off Throw a 1 or 2 you had to use an...

I don't care who you are - 5 holes behind is totally unaccceptable under any circumstances. The player is clearly totally selfish and self absorbed and needs putting straight. In a civil but firm manner that will ensure they are aware that a repetition in future will be dealt with by applying...

Have a look at Cleckheaton GC. Just off M62 junction 26 Solid layout. Great set of Par 3's. Especially the 5th.

Just over the 1hr from Wolverhampton - but we did Nottinghamshire Golf & Country club for my son's pre-wedding golf get together. 2 nice courses. Plenty of water and a very unique green on one of the holes. Hotel rooms well above average and good solid food offering Bar prices not outlandish...

From where please? A link would be great!

The best way to ensure a more equitable outcome in a scramble is to issue every team a magic pencil🤭 Our Saturday Comp this week is 4 man scramble. Expecting winning score to be sub 50

Absolutely don't pay them. Just storing up problems for another visit from them or another group once word gets out you're "payers". Get ruddy good bailiff. We had them a few years ago. We had a member who was a bailiff and knew the ropes. Had them out in 24 hours. They left a mess though!

Is it the same though? I would assume the Saturday Comp requires many more fee times to be blocked off than for a team match for example. Plus it's Saturday - one of the days you generally pay "extra" for as a 7 day member. As I said - I feel it is an unreasonable restriction on your...

Effectively stopping a fully paid up 7 day member from playing prime time Saturday morning unless they "comp" is totally unreasonable. It would be a deal-breaker for me even though as gentleman of leisure I can play through the week. If I was still working I would be very vocal in my feelings...
