In that case... my string of 0.1s has put me up from 18 to 19!!

A good hole that is easy if you get a good drive away and difficult if you don't. Richard - my favourite holes are the 3rd and 10th.

Two very difficult holes David. In the Seniors foursomes competition this year I managed to drive past the bell on 3. Normally I have to play up short of the brook in two !!! There was a gale behind and I managed a very rare draw off the teee. The second shot at 10 is difficult and I always miss the green right.

6 was playing into the gale and my Sunday best was way short of the bell.

Don't worry about handicap changes guys. Blank cards will be given to you on the day, and you will fill in with your names and handicaps. Will speed up registration which could be a bit hectic. 104 golfers all arriving around the same time !:eek:

In my round this week, I snap-hooked my drive into the trees on the heather on the 3rd and managed to scrape a 5. Tough hole.

6th - hit a screamer. Finished on the left of the fairway, not far off level with the big fairway bunker. Must have had a cracking bounce and lots of run! Easy hole from there.

10th is tough from the tee. It is OOB all down the left and if you are a hooker like me, quite daunting as you know you have to hit a fairly decent drive.

When I won a big society comp there. I didn't use a driver on a single hole. Yellow tees though.

I take it West Hill is not Slicer Friendly?

Hook and Slice, no, it is not friendly. Draw and Fade, yes it is fine as it is a very fair test. It is also quite short so keep your driver in your bag and the ball out of the heather and you can put a score together. Conversely, if you try and take the course on and belt it off the tee, you may be in for a long, difficult day and a poor score.

Holes that require a driver to enable a chance of par are: 6th, 10th and 18th. Maybe the 3rd too. That's all though. Depends on how far you hit it of course but for me, these are the only ones.

Hey don't give them any help. I was hoping my local knowledge might improve my changes of a decent finish. Drivers off the 1st, 12th and 16th are good ideas though.:whistle:

Good ideas if you want to have 3 blobs!

14th is the only hole that favours a big fade. Long and straight is always good I have been told.:p

That's me screwed then, would it be bad form to use my 9 iron for every shot, bar the greens of course?

Hit my driver at the minute, not far, probably not much over 200yds straight at present.

  2. hinge wrists at waist height
  3. club goes up not around
  4. drop the club down and beind
  5. don't loop the club
  6. no you knob you looped the club
  7. you're playing golf not going fishing
  8. inside path, inside path, inside path
  9. you've gone outside
  10. bosh, please be straight please be straight
  11. awwww bugger, I'll play a provisional
