AlchemyGolf
Head Pro
Many of you may recall that I had a massive decision to make last year.
I had been a member of one of the best courses in the country for 25+ years but after relocating miles away after starting a family I was paying large fees and hardly getting there to play.
Dilemma was do I leave for a local course which is no where near as good but pay less and play more but would never be able to afford to go back.
my 1st club is
1.in the top 100 in Britain
2.has amazing facilitys
3.has a former euro tour winner as a pro
4.all year round golf condition wise
5.Holds Final Open Qualifying for Birkdale and Lytham
6.Has great history having held the Ryder Cup twice
and it goes on and on.
Like I said massive decision!!!!!!!!!!

Well I did decide to leave because I wanted to play more and although very wet,boggy and in poor condition in the winter it was great in the summer although lacking any practice facility's.
Overall I enjoyed playing in the week which was not possible if I had stayed and anyway my Father & Brother are still members so I can play there anytime I want.
Today I found out that in May the County Championship is at my former club.This news has given my focus renewed vigour
and I cant wait to go back and see a few old faces and friends.
Should be able to make the halfway cut and get a strong finish if I am playing well together with my local knowledge.
Last time it was there when I was a young fearless whipper snapper I missed the playoff by 2 shots.
