I think it all changed in 2020. There used to be The River Golf Course, but it was remodelled and became part of the Olympos and Aspendos courses at Cullinan (according to AI)

Titanic doesn't have its own courses as such. They are at the Cullinan Links - Aspendos and Olympos. There's a shuttle that runs between the 2 hotels

Stayed at the Titanic and played Gloria and National. Can highly recommend all of them. Plus if you can play Carya, you'll be very very happy, I think.

I played TOC, New and Jubilee for much less than that on a winter ticket. Sure, it's mats on TOC and you take a chance with the weather (we were very lucky) but it was a bargain and a great experience.

Trying to get to the range 2-3 times a week as I'm having a lesson a fortnight over the next few months, and want to be ready for the new season. Playing 3 times a week if the weather permits.

Never got this impression at all. Even the people who wouldn't get a tip (eg reception staff) were brilliant. And the quality of service never dipped when they weren't tipped.

Went in a large group and had a whip round for the bar staff at the end of the week. Individually, I tipped the guy who took the case to my room, the waiting staff and the room cleaner. Of course they're grateful for anything, but due to the high rate of inflation, Euros are preferred.

Same here. I can't remember not getting a time I've wanted even on a weekend in the depths of winter. It really doesn't take any effort, even at a club with 600+ members. However, it is immoral and unfair to use a system that not everyone has access to. The way of the world I guess.

I absolutely have no problem with lower rates for younger members in any shape or form. But I think it's laughable when people complain when they have to pay the same as the majority of the membership!

Boo hoo! You know it's coming, save up for it over all the years you've been getting it at a reduced rate!

Yes, but you're more likely to make the return putt because it will be closer

FYI, a putt missed on the high side of a sloping putt, will always finish closer to the hole than one missed on the low side provided they're hit at the same pace.

My club has told us that we have to pay for it themselves, which I think is absolutely disgraceful, but not unsurprising!

You're a bit late to the party. I posted that on the 'Golfers Who Have Passed' thread, 4 days ago! 😁

Definitely a celebrity.
