I believe Gareth Benson the Pro there at a Astley is gaining quite a reputation as a top coach. I know a few lads that see him, he's very good by all accounts.

Which is 6 stances for you - par for you getting out of a bunker.
If I am in there no one will see me throw it out

He is very good. He coaches England u21s or something like that so i believe. Ive had a couple of lessons with him and loads of people i have met seem to have too! From our assistant pro at Davyhulme to Gregbwfc off here
. I believe he used to do the golf tips for another magazine or something like that.

Cheers Partner :cheers: .
Gotta say, I'm really looking forward to this now. :thup:
There's not much in it, but I think I'm actually looking forward to Formby more than Royal Liverpool.
From what I've seen when playing Formby Ladies the main course there looks absolutely stunning.
I can't believe no one has snapped up the 2 rounds for £100.

Formby is better than Royal L'pool IMHO.

If I wasn't playing Saturday Tuesday and Wednesday I would snap his hand off but I will have to work Sunday and Monday :-( have been trying to see if I could work things out but impossible

I cant really say which im looking forward to most as i really like the look of both. Very much looking forward to seeing how well thay stand up to Muirfield.
Both courses packing some distance so nowhere to hide :fore: Anybody off their game is going to get gobbled by the course

Everyone at my club of which some are members at Birkdale have said the same.
They rank it like this for up there.
Birkdale
S&A
Formby
West Lancs
Hoylake
Wallesey
Most seem to say Hoylake is like Marmite, its an acquired taste, most say it is a bit flat and bland compared to others like West Lancs and Wallasey which apparently have more character.
I'll reserve judgement until I play them all this year, the only one not arranged or in the calendar is S&A.

Surprised at the S and A better than Formby take, but each to their own. Swap Formby and S and A around, and that would be my order as well, although haven't played Birkdale yet.

Light rain for Sunday, 20% chance of it before 12 and 40 % after. I'll take those odds. Bring it on.
Formby is my fave course, Back 9 at Hillside was very special, but all in all, over 18 holes and the clubhouse & surroundings, Formby gets my vote. I even prefer Formby to the Ailsa at Turnberry.
Does anyone know if trollys are allowed ?

And here's the last of the magnificent seven.
Hello fella. It mentions trolleys on their website, but can't remember if it said heavy trolleys (eleccy ones?), but worth checking.
EDIT:No large motorised buggies are allowed on the course.

That weather sounds good to me :thup:
Formby does look more pleasing on the eye from the pictures ive seen. I cant wait to see how it looks for real.
