Welcome to the forum Chopper.

Never heard of your club, but you'll be pleased that the internet has. I've played Uttoxeter, Beau Desert, Izaak Walton and Trentham but never "the Manor".

Is it any good?

Enjoy the forum.

Hi RGDave,

You've done the right thing. I joined the nearest to me (5 miles, 7-8 minutes) and better to be near and use it than miles away and go once a week.
Get down there as often as possible and practice your short game.

Great advice this! You have to be patient but I've focussed predominantly on my short game and recently that practice is starting to pay off! I'd also recommend a chipping lesson if you haven't already had one. Homer harangued me into having one and it made a huge difference.
