Bizarre - what they going to do when it's light till 10.30pm?Having to leave the course part way through the back 9 because the course closes at 8. What is that all about? ?

Not sure. Not long been a member so I'll have to wait and see.
Won't be impressed if it closes at 8 in the summer as I like to play 9 holes when its quite after 7:30.

Our greens weren't cut Saturday day because of frost.

Great..... I'm going on holiday there in June. Please tell me June is a summer month up there ?
Shorts and t shirts in June, not a problem ?. Joking apart June is frequently the best month here.
Where are you going?

So I didn't enter the comp on Saturday because we had never played off whites before, decided to do so as a practise. Just found out I would have won it if I had. Balls.

Looks like I need to re-assess my golfing future. I had always said that, with the amount I can play, I would draw the line at paying over £1000.00 a year membership. Looks like the details of the fees for next year have come out for the clubs local to me. Belton Park is over £1000 once you add a bar levy. Stoke Rochford is not full with a waiting list as the only place that offers a flexible membership scheme and those others that are not at £1000 are not far off. Sadly, playing once a week most weeks (and not always that) it is hard to justify a £1000 a year membership and, whilst the market may be able to support that amount, I am not sure that the courses fully warrant it.

Is Woolfox (formerly Rutland County) an option?

About 25 minutes away so not impossible but need to assess the position following the closing and takeover last year.

If not quite once a week, then assume, say, 40 games a year? Is £25 a round too much? (Ps: its a rhetorical question. Only you know what suits you).

But if you'd had a card in your hand, would you have played so well? Many (most) golfers are adversely affected by the subconscious pressure that being in a comp causes.

I marked a card anyway, always do. I'll grant you I had one or two gimmes though that I could have missed.

Marking a card for yourself and marking a card for a competition aren't the same. They should be, it's not like we're playing in the Masters. But they are not, because somewhere in your subconscious there is a little trigger telling you it matters, which means you are not as relaxed.

At Grims Dyke *any* so-called gimme can be missed.
I wouldn't give a 5-capper a 9" downhiller on the 6th.
Or the 3rd.
Or the 15th.

Yeah you don't have to tell me. As I keep saying to people, I used to think I was a half-decent putter until I came here!

One chap who joined a while back told me that he had *never* 4-putted in his life.Yeah you don't have to tell me. As I keep saying to people, I used to think I was a half-decent putter until I came here!
My response: "you will here, and don't beat yourself up about it when it happens".
You haven't even experienced them in summer at their full pace
I have 5-putted the 5th, starting from 6 feet *below* the hole

After a decent front 9 at silvermere today I developed a rather annoying hook
