Unfortunately the ones near me have. At least 3 that I can think of have closed within the last 5 years never mind 10. :(

Since 2012, the date of the book, several courses in Sussex have closed (West Chiltington, Hassocks, Waterhall, Rusper) or been reduced to nine holes (Cottesmore Phoenix, Mannings Heath Kingfisher) … and I can think of a few others not that much further afield. There a few under serious threat too. I keep my courses played on an Excel spreadsheet.

It really must be more prevalent down South - such a shame to lose so many, and I’m sure there’ll have been some great tracks in there.

The book has a bit of blurb about each course as well, so I’m hoping it’ll be good to look back through years from now.. rather than looking at a list ?

Entry to a 5k race series for me and Mrs Boomy ??‍♂️??‍♀️ Get fitness built back up and beat this long covid hangover! (Overall fitness improvements will also feed into golf fitness ?)

I used to play football with a guy who maintained a spreadsheet called shags.xls, for some reason this made me think of him for the first time in years :)

County Golf strikes again. Bought 2 pairs of Proquip shorts at £16.50 a pair, which seems like a decent price and a Cutter & Buck Quilted Gilet for £25. Love my Sunderland one, hope this one is the same material and quality.

I took delivery yesterday of a Titleist TS2 driver bought from Clubhouse Golf, i've had a lot of Titleist drivers in the past and pretty much know my shaft requirements so this fitted the bill perfectly and at £299.00 brand new with headcover, wrench and next day delivery it was a bit of a bargain. One range session in I have found the best setting for me and all seems good, a definite improvement in distance (versus my Cobra f7) and dispersion was good too. Looking forward to the course on Sunday.

Wow, that is a steal.

I get regular (nay daily) emails and I have to resist going onto the site as there are always bargains to be had

I bought Tour Velvet Midsize Plus 4 grips and changed all my clubs grips, certainly seem to be striking the ball better and further.
Also bought some rubber topped Tees which seem to be impossible to lose.

I actually unsubscribed from their emails as the deals were too tempting.
Just decided to have a look if there where any cheap shorts as I hate having to pay £40 for a pair since they are half the material of the trousers yet the same price.

Brought my 11 year old a golf glove and a Junior membership. I can now take him to the range and hopefully one day the course a couple of times a week, which means I get guilt free practice and additional rounds on top of my Sat comps
