"After using the same Odyssey White Hot putter for over twenty years, I'm thinking it's past time for an upgrade. While I still favor getting a Anser type blade like my White Hot I'm open to maybe a mallet." Do it! :) I strongly suspect if I got fitted they'd say my stroke suits the spider...

I used a Scotty Newport 2 for years - then switched to a spider and my putting has never been better. It's been in the bag over 3 years now and I can't see it ever changing; for me it's just so much easier to get it rolling end over end. My young boy has just started playing regularly so I...

Yep, I'm happy to attend a meet up, holidays permitting. Don't mind hosting something at Seaton Carew too if that's of interest to anyone.

No problem - just thought I'd offer! Hope you have a fab time 'up north'. :)

@IanM I'm happy to host on Sun 18th at Seaton Carew. Have a 4ball booked for 9:17AM if you and any two others from the thread want to make up a 4ball? Members guest rate.

No, sorry - w/c 24th Feb.

I'll add my details to the group... happy to welcome guests when it warms up a bit! Home club: Seaton Carew. Quality of course: brilliant. Quality of my golf: highly variable! Love the game, but try not to take it too seriously! Availability: school holidays are best. Here's to those lovely...

I went to our pro just before xmas to say I wanted to upgrade my Ping i200s. After a simulator session in the xmas holidays, and another last week, trying half a dozen brands/models he said this: There's nothing I can sell you which will make you any better, or you'll be able to hit any better...

Great thread and suggestions. Just my two pence worth... Good luck finding a 'posh' part of Hartlepool. (Tongue in cheek given I live there!) :) You're limited for hotel choices. Prem Inn on the marina is the only real place in the town (Travellodge excepted). A few B&Bs I suppose. If you're...

Just bought my son his first proper set for xmas from Callaway preowned. £515 'like new' (which will mean they are new/shop soiled judging on what I've bought previously) reduced to £375. I'm trading in a Paradym driver too for another £150 off so happy to only be paying £225 for 5-SW! :)

Thanks 2blue for the heads up. I'd be happy to host, but it'd have to be 4PM+ as that's the earliest I'd be able to get there from work. So you probably want to count me out. Sorry. Where would I play.... Seaton Carew, obviously. If you're the type of golfer who goes off the rankings, then...

Yep.... prices are getting crazy. That's why I'd tagged them (Ganton/Cleveland) together. Twilight at Ganton - and always offers at Cleveland - put it in the right ball park (albeit at the top end).

Bit further to drive... but.... if it was me... Ganton 50 mins south. Cleveland 40 mins north. Get twilight rate at Ganton and both courses together then fall in the price bracket you want. You get your one inland and one links. And two of the very best courses in the NE for me. Not sure...
