Pl Please do inbox me if you don’t want to share publicly. I do get around lol so you never know!

Which club was this please? Want to make sure I’ll never come across this owner, but if I do I’ll give them an earful!

Promise me you’ll let me in on the secret whenever we finally have a game! I’d like to know where I shouldn’t go 😆

Which clubs were these?

I really can’t stand mats, I just can’t hit the ball well off them, although for many it’s easier. I do understand why many clubs use them, however it’s largely a recent invention, plus many clubs which have high end visitors use them mostly so the wealthy can enjoy perfect manicured fairways in...

Some good bants 🤣

Scottie was indeed REALLY lucky on those holes. Dumped his tee shot in the bunker at the back of 12. Then his bunker shot came out slightly hot, yet disappeared down the pipe. Was going 6ft+ past. Then on 13 he underhit his second into Rae’s Creek. However…it didn’t drop into the water and...

I checked Prestwick St Nicholas and there was space. Same for Irvine. There’s always spots for twilight or even afternoon.

There's still PLENTY of time to get on this afternoon! You've got til around 83.0 or a bit after. Just go for it!

That’s quite sad tbh. Not good at all for members, GKs and club. Which course is this?

Irvi Irvine and West Kilbride should be ok. Around £50 twilight. Irvine especially is excellent. The muni Ravenspark too is decent and a mix of links/parkland, so check condition before travelling. Another good option is Gailes Links, which is £70 a round this month and prob only an extra £20...

Baildon, Branshaw or Ogden perhaps?

Nice course with some good reciprocals including Conwy over the bay from my own club North Wales.
