    Surrey Golf Course Membership

    People say Windlesham is great. Not sure if they have a waiting list but suspect most decent clubs will do. Mate is a member of Leatherhead but I have not played there. Clandon Regis has availability when I last checked. Keep meaning to play Sutton Green, in Woking. Have heard it is good and...

    I bought today.....

    Bought the pack of Costco 3 wedges for £143 yesterday. Well reviewed and I needed a 60 degree anyway. Sharp new grooves can’t hurt! These keep going out of stock. Very popular I believe.

    Winter Sun Golf Break

    Which courses would you recommend? Always looking for ideas for new experiences in the future. Just read a lot of poor reviews whereas our experiences at QDL have always been top notch, if not the cheapest

    Algarve golf

    I book our golf trips via a company in Spain. Found them cheaper than UK package companies and prices in Euros so can be an advantage. They have been really good at booking tee times too. Then the agent has responsibility and books all the transfers too. Much more convenient...

    Winter Sun Golf Break

    I was looking at Marrakesh for our annual trip but having researched the courses I was put off by the reports on the club houses, food, drinks and service. Being used to Quinta do Lago our standards ate quite high so binned the idea. Back to Portugal next year, this time Amondoeira

    Motocaggy M5 GPS

    Motocaddy are useless. I bought this too a few years ago. Always struggled to link to my phone. Then every time the screen went off the trolley lost connection and then no GPS. So it only gave me GPS when the phone screen was on. They had no solution so I wasted my money buying a GPS trolley...

    New irons

    I have a launch monitor and indoor sim. I hit my 7 iron between 180 and 190 yards carry with a swing speed of around 93 mph. Irons are Calloway Rogue Pros, the original ones. 7 iron loft is 31 degrees. I was getting fed up with fliers, over 190 yards. Treated myself to Mizuno JPX923 Tour irons...

    I bought today.....

    Further to my purchase of a demo Mizuno JPX923 Tour 7 iron, having hit it well and having seen good levels of forgiveness I purchased 5-PW JPX923 Tour irons on eBay for only £465, immaculate condition only used for 9 holes, according to the description. Arriving tomorrow. Getting excited!

    I bought today.....

    Bought a Mizuno JPX923 Tour demo 7 iron. Only £29 on eBay, hardly used. Just wanted to see if I can hit it and what distance and spin I get in the sim. Cheap way to try the Tours. A few cheap sets around as they have been discontinued. Slightly tempted. 🤔

    Algarve courses

    I have Ombria booked in April for our group trip. What was it like? Also booked Quinta North, played twice before, Dom Pedro Millennium and Vale do Lobo Royal, both new for us this year.

    New Courses I played 2024

    What was Ombria like? Booked there for round in April. Didn’t book Pinheiros Altos as had heard bad reports about course maintenance. Booked Ombria following a YouTube video as the group wanted to try something different! Staying at Quinta do Lago again and playing their courses too.

    Algarve courses

    That is a shame. Maybe depends on time of the year. Saying that I couldn't get a tee time on South course for April when I was booking in July this year!

    Algarve courses

    Booked for April next year, QDL North, Dom Pedro Millenium, Vale do Lobo Royale and Ombria. Only played QDL before but looking forward to it. Quinta courses are great. Laranjal is v good and quieter but the group wanted the main course this time. Have heard some courses in trouble and that...

    I bought today.....

    Shot Scope V5 watch, £189, using a First Order voucher through Major Golf. Only 1 round so far but for the money, very impressed, particularly given the tags that fit into your clubs.
