Played Formby today, what a fabulous golf course, great variety of holes, loved it all. Its was great. From contacting to book up a tee time, to checking course status, paying, pro shop, soup & sandwiches included, clubhouse, to playing, to the course, just everything fantastic.

Millionaires golf in still/sunny conditions. Won matchplay against son 2 & 1. Shot 7 over, son shot 3 over, both 2 under handicap so drew net strokeplay.

Must try to return this 'winter' on the deal and squeeze in the Formby ladies course on the same trip, which looked nice from what we could see of it.
It is nice just not as long.
Formby is one of my favourite courses.
They do treat you well.
Have you played Hillside I would recommend it it’s a joy to play.

Played today with a young man 20yr old .
Told me he has only been playing for 12 months got handicap of 6 and by what I witnessed today will be a lot lower.
Really nice young man , 42 yr age difference sometimes makes conversation hard but we just seemed to be on the same wavelength.
Really enjoyed my game and we played some really nice golf.
Company is everything in golf imo.
That's some going, although my doubles partner tells everyone he has been playing 12 months whenever we meet someone new, even though he was on the board in 2012 and has been playing with me for 2 years! Very strange but just let him get on with it:LOL:

My fave in the North West. The ladies course is fantastic aswell. Obviously the same land and has the same tranquil feeling. I need to try and get there this Winter too.

Played a sub four hour round, Booyakasha. If I hit every shot like I hit my three wood today, I would be playing off scratch.

11 very pleasant opening holes and then the sun disappeared. The temperature dropped like a stone and it all became unpleasant for the next 4-5 holes. Finished the last 3 well but still feeling cold now.

Big pluses today, 3 wood and putter. Downside, mid irons as usual.

Went over to Wexham Park today, just me and a mate as a two-ball. Started really badly, double triple double, just didn't warm up enough I think. I always forget they have a 'starter' there for literally no reason that I can fathom, and I just felt a bit rushed.

But anyway, I recovered brilliantly as the rest of the front nine was par bogey par par birdie birdie for a front nine of 41! (20 points). Back nine was half decent, 44 (17) for a round of 85, 37 points. Very happy with that after the awful first three holes. It's actually a testament to how I've been trying to improve the mental side of my game, I've been reading Bob Rotella, watching Golf Sidekick on YouTube - the old me would have had a tantrum and had an entirely awful front nine I think, so really pleased at how I was able to look past the poor start. Those two have helped me a lot with putting as well as I'm striking putts more confidently.

Weather was great too, 10 or 11 degrees with a bit of sun here and there, I even managed to get the shorts back out, haha. Lovely.

It’s a great offer and judging by the groups we played through (6 of them in total) it’s very much being taken up! A lot of Sleaford displaced out. Thanks for extending the offer to us it is very much appreciated ??
