Golf Abroad...again

[hellbunker]

thanks to one and all for the information...allow me to expand... its my 40th...do i, A] Book a long weekend with my mates in the sun playing golf or B] get custom fitted for my first set of my own golf clubs (i got my dads who was a scratch golfer at the New Club StAndrews; one of his many scalps was non other than Sandy Sadler in the Amateur Open back in the 50's) and play the StAndrews Old Course spending 3 nights at the Old Course Hotel. Summary A-Spain; B-Clubs.

Go on holiday and live it up on Sangria in the sun. watch some Flamenco dancing, get in some brothels and drink San miguel till your flight home!! dont forget to eat some paella and play a few rounds too!

 

[hellbunker]

Sod the custom fitting!!!! (Under these circumstance only )

 

[medwayjon]

Go to spain but under no circumstances drink the local gnats pi$$, aka sangria. The only people I see drinking it in spain (I go there 3/4 weeks a year) are chavs/scrotes/neanderthals who view swilling that crap as sampling the local culture.

Sorry if that offends, just what I have seen personally.

Golf fella in travel snobbery shocker!!!

I think you will find the Spanish along with all nationalities drink sangria, also if you know how to make it you wont get robbed with the bottle stuff they use on pale looking middle aged men.

 

[Teetotal]

Surely week in Spain cheaper than rip-off Old Course hotel???

 

[medwayjon]

I have had it in seedy bars and in restaurants where a starter is £15, it has always tasted like crap to me.

Maybee I am a bit snobbish about it suppose.

Go to Spain or Algarve, but don't think that the weather is a given. I've spent a fortnight in Cost del Sol in May, and practically frozen to death. Also had two days golf rained off there in September, and golf rained off in the Algarve, one at Penina.

If i was in Spain i couldnt care if i was using a petron beginners set as long as im surround by the local latin talent overindulging so much i make christmas day look like a monday morning queing up in blackwall tunnel. Not to mention the other nice scenes and usually good weather. I'd save the custom fitting till later!!

lol never!!! I am a Middlesbrough fan, I am originally from Richmond North Yorks, the course there got in GM in Sept I think was the month, a nice course that I started playing on but gave up when I moved to Leeds many moons ago.

Tbh I has lost interest in football since taking golf up again in the summer, I didnt even know Anelka had signed for Chelski until yesterday lol.

 

[Parmo]

back to subject, I am going to Spain in the summer and intend to take my clubs, with Jet2 its only an extra £20 both ways.

 

[Dave3498]

I can't speak too highly of Jet2. Good luck and enjoy the trip.
