Not sure. Not long been a member so I'll have to wait and see.Bizarre - what they going to do when it's light till 10.30pm?
Our greens weren't cut Saturday day because of frost.when the green staff don't prep the greens or rake the bunkers for the busiest day playing wise for the week
Great..... I'm going on holiday there in June. Please tell me June is a summer month up there ?Maybe, maybe not. Where you are wind chill will not really be a factor. Up here the wind can cut you in two. When my relatives, NW of England, first came to visit me up here the cut of the wind was the thing that shocked them. It is not there all of the time but when it is it can be sharp.
Shorts and t shirts in June, not a problem ?. Joking apart June is frequently the best month here.Great..... I'm going on holiday there in June. Please tell me June is a summer month up there ?

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.
What is his forum name ?The guy in the bay next to me at the driving range telling his dad the driver he’s hoping to get fitted for today will get him carrying 300 yards.
He was barely hitting 200 with a TM SIM so I guess he’s being fitted for a rocket launcher

Is Woolfox (formerly Rutland County) an option?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.

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).Looks like I need to re-assess my golfing future.

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.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.
I marked a card anyway, always do. I'll grant you I had one or two gimmes though that I could have missed.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.
At Grims Dyke *any* so-called gimme can be missed.I marked a card anyway, always do. I'll grant you I had one or two gimmes though that I could have missed.
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!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.
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!
