I don’t mind him, he keeps it all together and gets things back on track when the old duffers start reminiscing about 2 irons and balata balls!

Oh I don’t know, it helped me get to sleep after the masters 👍

Tried tweeting Taylormade? I bought a tm cart bag from sports direct a few years ago before I started playing every week and throughout winter, fair weather golfer personified. Around 8-9 months after buying it, which was only maybe 10 rounds, a clippy bit broke off. I tweeted sports direct...

No, but I guarantee that on the 16th tee directly behind the players teeing off, you’ll see a lady with long blond hair. She’s there every year!

This is why I don’t really gamble, I always go with heart instead of head: Fitz Tommy Rosey Phil The only head one I’ve gone with is Wyndham. And my wife’s gone for Xander because he’s got a nice sounding surname (probably got a better shout then mine!) Rory will be pleased to know I’ve left...

Great, thanks for the advice all, much appreciated. I’ll have a chat with our pro at the weekend, see if he can do it.

Hi all, I need to stop combining drinking alcohol with online shopping for golf gear. Bought a new putter whilst drunk. It arrived, I excitedly unwrapped it, took all the cellophane off, ooh, looks lovely. Took it out on the course, felt lovely but feels a bit short? Got home, checked the...

Everyone raves about the masters app, but when I’ve tried it previously it just shows each shot, no commentary/context etc. Am I missing something? I guess it’s a bonus not having to listen to endless droning about patrons!

After much deliberation I joined a new club today, Bewdley Pines. £1050, saving myself £425 compared to Kidderminster. Hopefully I’ll settle in quickly and get year round golf that everyone talks about!

What’s the admin fee for? Assume he’s taken out an interest free purchase credit card rather than balance transfer? That’s what I do anyway and have never paid an admin fee.

It’s an interesting point I was thinking about the other day. So Kidderminster have put the fees up to £1475. It’s a nice parkland course, members club, usually very good condition. My hometown is Shrewsbury, the Shrewsbury golf club is very similar in size and quality to kiddie, yet their...

The fee increase got voted in unfortunately, £1475 from £1200. As much I love the course during the good weather, and I’m in with a good bunch of lads, I’m struggling to justify paying that for a course that really struggles in the wet. Appreciate most courses have struggled but we struggle more...

It’s definitely worth knowing the basics before you go out, although as others have said, most playing partners will be more than happy to help. Saying that, not all experienced players know the rules. In my first ever comp, in fact, first ever competitive round, I asked for help from a playing...

Oh yeh, 100%, everyone had to pay the levy if it was voted in, and it was, them’s the rules. But for the sake of £100 it seems pointless, with no winners. If 20 people have done the same thing, it still doesn’t seem worth the hassle and bad publicity, in my view. Particularly irksome when you...

Whilst I completely agree with you, it’s in the articles of association that a levy can be proposed, put to a vote and and if the majority of members vote yes, everyone has to pay it. I voted no but unfortunately we lost 4-1. Pretty annoying that loads of those who were against it just didn’t...
