Played beautiful "Royal" Settle today, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. God, it felt good to get out there, even though I reckon I only hit about half a dozen decent shots for the round.
Last time I played golf, we were up to our ankles in water, so today was an absolute dream.

Nice bunkers looks a bit like our 2nd. Short straight not a bad tee shot.

Played Allendale with a mate today, only £15.
Stuck on the moors in the middle of nowhere, what a strange, quirky but enjoyable course.

Just brought back memories
I played it once
Quirky indeed
Does it still have an honesty box for the fees...?

We paid online but I'm sure there was an honesty box on the side of the clubhouse.
Greens were awful but that par 3 down the hill is insane, about 170 yards and well worth the fee just to play that hole ?

Hi Amanda, as soon as you start to look for something they all disappear!
Found these at last, they are a little pricey but when you actually look at what you're getting they're still an absolute steal.
Full set of irons and three woods, works out a a fiver per club including post.
Condition looks excellent.
These are a fairly forgiving blade with a good sized sole, I've got the men's equivalent, the Silver Crest, and they play very nicely.
Mid seventies in date.

It's very easy to pick up a vintage putter for around £10 including post, some examples:
I'd guess this one is 1930s

Classic bullseye style.

This is a ladies putter (don't know if there's any difference other than maybe shaft length). Again I have the men's version, it has a low profile but a nice weight.

Bloody hell, 47 points today at Ravensworth and a gross 79
Had been working on a swing change in the garden during lockdown and what a difference! Have had issues hitting out the toe but middled a lot more today.
Dunstanburgh tomorrow where i've only broken 90 3 times so fingers crossed. Probably score over 100
Yep, as I suspected. Played Dunstanburgh today and was brought crashing down to earth with 26 points ?
Bit windy there today. Not the place for a low score with a breeze blowing
Very hit and miss for me. Hit some nice shots, striking my irons particularly well, but my short game really reflected the long lay-off. Just nice to be out there, to be honest.

Eagle the par 5 13th today. Driver, 5w, to about 18 inches.
Sounds impressive, but the drive was a straight block right, and the 5w was fat as. Still, a 3 is a 3.

11mph forecast but in reality that was more like 25mp+
I've just come in from playing Burgham and it was feisty there in the wind. Any impact at my place is going to be multiplied at Dunstanburgh in terms of impact on play. I'd agree with your 25mph + estimate.
Brilliant when behind, I thought I'd lost my opening tee shot but found it 30yds past where I've ever hit it before ?. I was grumbling and cursing that a good shot should be penalised as I stomped up the fairway towards the 2nd hole when it suddenly appeared ?. What is normally a hybrid second shot became a 9 iron. If only that was normal. Into the wind brought me back down to earth pretty quickly though ?
Still great to be out though.

81 with a treble on our 14th. Didn't hole anything of note on the greens but did chip in to save par on the 5th. Course is coming on a treat, but to be honest I can see myself not bothering again until we are back playing properly, if I bother then; absolutely no enthusiasm for it at all.

37 gross front nine 1 over par.
Never missed a shot, one three putt ,
strange game as couple of days ago I couldn’t get off the tee.
Bit frustrating going home after 9 holes, but it’s all were allowed atm.
Happy now though in the sun lounger with a cold juice.
Summer days.

It's funny how I didn't really miss playing at all when I wasn't allowed. I had zero enthusiasm for restarting, esp in 2 balls. However, I have really enjoyed my first 2 rounds back, and am now frustrated by not being able to play more due to booking restrictions.
Really need to get back to 4 balls though.
Odd how I can sit on a packed train to get to a packed office, but can't be outside social distancing with 4 people, 3 of whom have had it. Safest 4 ball available for me to be in.
