Quinta do Lago staying at Magnolia Hotel, 4 nights 4 rounds in April, second year. Shorter flight than Turkey and Quinta courses supposed to be best in the Algarve. Certainly North and Laranjal last year were great, playing North and South this year. Got several quotes, in the end company in...

Snapped my Callaway Rogue Pro 7 iron in the sim so decided to try something new and shiny. Saw a Mizuno pro 225 7 iron on eBay, like new for £62 so bought it. Shaft similar to my Callaway iron and loft 30.5 so similar as Callaway is 31 degrees. Will be interesting to try it when I can. Always...

I used Direct Golf Holidays. They are based in Benalmadena inSpain but I dealt with Diane Dobson an English lady who has been excellent. directgolfholidays.com. Cheaper than anyone else. Your golf travel didn’t add our clubs to our flights, shown to us on the airlines system and there were no...

Thanks. Their own Facebook page was last updated 2022. So I emailed the Magnolia hotel in Quinta do lago and asked them. They said they are good customers. Once I have booked with them I will check with the hotel that the booking, tee times and transfers have been booked. This year with YGT we...

Thanks. Just the fact that they are overseas, not ABTA, ATOL and they only need the balance paying 1 month before departure.

Not to be confused with Golf Holidays Direct, who have bad reviews. Not Abta or Atol but have best quote from them for Quinta do Lago next year. I know I can pay by credit card and check with the hotel that bookings have been made. We are booking flights directly

I am a Surveyor. You can only cut a 3rd depth out of a timber before it becomes weakened. However in a modern townhouse I reckon your joists will be on the limit of what they can carry, hence why so many modern houses have settled timber floors. Having converted my double garage you need minimum...

Bought a Wilson Staff CB 5 iron on eBay. £65 inc postage and in excellent condition. Snapped my 5 iron in the sim. Was a Callaway Rogue Pro. Just fancied trying a Forged iron with some pedigree. Lost a bit of distance overall but it does feel soft and is pretty forgiving. Probably a bit too...

Agree, I am sure, but heard some bad things about the condition of some of the other courses and that one has gone bankrupt. You get what you pay for and Quinta was superb in every way, from the hotel, courses, staff and local amenities. Would definitely go back.

Peter Finch talks too much and takes longer than Cantlay to play his shot. I used to play St Georges Hill 9 hole course years back, before they made it members only. Was a lovely course.

Just back, stayed at Magnolia Hotel and played Laranjal, very open but excellent condition as was Quinta North which is tighter but a really great course. Were surprised that golf transfers were not included in our YGT package and they messed up the outward flight as we had to argue with Easyjet...

If it works for you that is your best swing thought

I would concentrate on loading the leading leg, left in the case of a right handed golfer. This is the leg you want to fire off and concentrating on loading the trailing leg (right leg) will lead you to sliding your hips away from the ball. Think load left leg on backswing and then fire left hip...

I was fitted by PXG for a Gen5 Driver and I found that the 50g shaft was best for me because I found it easier to square the face at impact and the heavier shaft caused me to block right. I have a swing speed of 105 and ball speed of 150 just for reference. Think that is fairly quick for an...
