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

    A few days late... 18 at Enniscrone on Saturday. Apart from aa quiet strretch mid-front 9, the course is amazing. Fabulous dunes etc, but the green designs and condition for the time of year were top class. And then we played 18 at Carne on Sunday. Wild Atlantic Dunes layout. And it's crazy...

    Lads Golf Trip

    Agree totally. Off to Ireland next weekend - Carne one day, Enniscrone the next. Less than £110 total. As spectacular as any links combo in the rest of the UK, and at least half the price!

    When did you last play?

    Played today. It was great... but we've got puddles on two fairways and loads of bunkers filled with water. If our place is like that (which it very rarely is - links) then I can see why so many other places are closed. One of those crisp winter days when there's little wind and bright sun... no...

    Steamstrong would seem to be the winner!

    Top 5 courses played this year

    Haven't played any 'biggies' this year (not got as much golf in as usual), but top 5 would be: Carne, Ballyliffin Glashedy, Moortown, Silloth, Seaton Carew. Carne though, ten years since I was last there, might be my favourite in the world. :)

    I bought today.....

    Standard. Interested to see what its like on course compared to my Ping LST. My driving has definitely been the best part of my game all year, so be interesting to see what happens. Have had a much more penetrating flight with the Ping. Thinking the silver HZRDUS shaft will do the same job and...

    I bought today.....

    Callaway Paradym. Took the leap after watching a few other people play with them and making it look easy. (and now it's reasonably priced as they're looking to move them on!) Took it out today on a 'try before you buy' from our pro. Good enough to buy it and put its in the bag. How long...

    Selling second hand golf clubs

    Seaham Golf Club/Bargain Golf Equipment on Facebook. You'd have to trawl back through their recent FB posts to find the details. I've bought from them before - they're great in fairness.

    Selling second hand golf clubs

    Reviving an old thread... obtained quotes from golfbidder and GC4C for a driver.... and they're offering around half the value of same clubs they've got on sale currently. Is that the normal mark up?? Seems like eBay/Facebook marketplace might be my best option. Has made me think about...

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

    One of those crisp winter mornings which turned into a belter! Better weather in November than July!! 🤷‍♂️

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

    Run of really good form (for me) came to an abrupt halt! Greensomes comp... oh dear! In position A off every tee bar one, yet we managed to hit shocking approach after approach, with several three putts then chucked in for good measure. Had 120y or less into 8/9 on front half - and turned in +6...

    Golf Random Irritations

    Hi... sorry for the delayed reply. It's great at the minute in fairness. The bunker is out of play cos we've had a delivery of sand to top up the pair of bunkers near the first green (and it's piled in the bunker). You wouldn't know it's rained though.... you'll walk off without anything in...

    Best winter courses in NE England

    Agree on pricing... too many courses are putting their fees up to be in the same 'bracket' at what they deem to be similar clubs nationally. The two you mention then start to look like outliers compared to others in the area (add Close House to that group too). They probably lose local visitors...

    Best winter courses in NE England

    Cleveland's great; haven't played it since they blew all the heavy industry up around the old steel works - am sure it's much better visually as a result. Would recommend. Used to be a member at Hartlepool (and walked the dog round it yesterday). It's fab, and looked in really good condition...
