    @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.

    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...

    New clubs or no clubs for 2025?

    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...

    Golf in Durham

    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...

    New Bargains Thread

    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! :)

    North East / Newcastle course recommendation

    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...

    Golf near Whitby

    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).

    Golf near Whitby

    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...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    First singles comp for a while today. Front 9 - 3 pars, 3 bogies, 3 birdies. Back 9 - 7 pars. A double. AND A 9!!!! 68 nett with a 9 on the card. Crying into my beer tonight. :rolleyes:

    I bought today.....

    After seeing many on here sing the praises of Callaway pre-owned, I took the leap last week while it had a sale on.... Jaws 5 wedges.... £90 total for 2. They took a few days to process/arrive.... but they're amazing. They're brand new, and I almost feel like I've stolen them - I've got two...

    Golf in Donegal

    Have been going regularly since 2001 - you need to keep it quiet tho. It's my favourite place in the world, and I'm happy for it to remain relatively undiscovered for as long as possible! The beaches are fantastic.... great places to walk off the inevitable hangovers before the golf. Your...

    Lake District/ Scottish Borders courses

    My mate played Brampton for first time yesterday and fell in love with the place! (25 degrees and no wind helps I'm sure!). No denying you might leave Silloth and Southerness a couple of balls lighter than you started with. Silloth in particular though at least leaves you with a smile on your...
