Tour Winner
Wahoo back on main greens and shot a level par round and as a team had 43 points in the Fiddle to take top spot
Hoping for a call tomorrow Chris...got a nice little gap in the afternoonWell done mate. Any news on new bats
😂😂 they would have been the ones I leant @Captainron as he lost 15 the day we played it.Travelled down to Royal Porthcawl on their winter £75 deal, golf & bacon rolls. Pro shop friendly. Clubhouse hmm definitely different, Bacon roll start was grand.
Great looking 1st tee shot, bunkers in great places. Really enjoyed the shape of the holes, quite a few shaped holes of varying length.
Felt the course was a shot to the green complexes as they were pretty challenging to hit, shapes and slopes. Off the tee it was wide and not much trouble to make me think.
In fairly still conditions, shot 8 over, finished on a double No lost balls and three balls found(including 2 pinnacles, wonder if they were LQs )
I doubt he went where my balls went. In fact the greens keepers have never been where those balls ended up😂😂 they would have been the ones I leant @Captainron as he lost 15 the day we played it.
The clubhouse is not quite in the same league as Turnberry 🤣
I guess Darren didn’t bosh it 120 yards offline in the fields of South Wales so you could be right 😉I doubt he went where my balls went. In fact the greens keepers have never been where those balls ended up
Had a society at my place !
I sat in the bar and watched them and would honestly say some had never played before.
Or just looked like that after a lay off over cold weather.
Went on back nine on my own played 18 in three over in 2.50 mins it was great at that pace
Course is coming on already.
We play them home and away in a club match every year. Great bunch of guys. Always feel it's a long old course, especially in the wet and the wind off the whites when we play but a great course. You wait until the summer when those greens are running quicker. They will give you nightmares. It's really improved in the last five or six years. Before every hole was lined with shin high left and right all the way to the green and behind and it made it a nightmare. They had so many medal NR's they had to persuade the owners to cut it down. I really like the place and we lost a couple of members to them a while back. Enjoy the return visitWas visiting my step daughter and her hubby in their quarters at RAF Odiham so decided do to pay a visit Tynley Park golf club with SIL. It was wet, windy amd cold but I was happy with 34 points despite some mediocre golf at times.
Highlight was 300 yard drive, wedge to 20 feet and holing the putt for a birdie.
I’ll certainly go back in the summer to give I than another go.
I’m the bar we were invited to join one of the members for a chat about the course etc and he offered to take us out again another day - turns out he was the club captain and his friendliness capped off the day

Looks brilliant in the summer and especially the autumn. When the trees are changing it looks a real pictureI thought the par 3 8th was a stunning hole- those big fir trees were magnificent.
We also sat and watched the red kites for a good 10 mins while we let the 4ball in front get well out of sight
Absolutely bloody woeful.
Went down Aldenham, a nearby course that I quite like, in my usual four ball. Just played so rubbish right from the word go - sad to report I scored over a hundred for the first time since June last year. My driving was really good but everything else was poor. Skulled the long irons across the floor, fatted the short irons, even hit about 3 god awful toe slices with wedges. Three putted four times. Last time I played here was summer as well, and the winter conditions just made it so different, there were lots of par 4s I couldn't reach in two which didn't help. Got quite a bit of hybrid practise in at least, I hit that well a couple of times. Overall shocking though. I am deeply upset.[/QUOTE
Yep I can understand why you would be especially playing like that, hang in there tho don’t give up just yet
Chuffed to sodding bits.
1st game for 2 weeks due to last weeks closure, did my back in 2 mins before teeing off just getting my waterproofs out of my bag and felt it go
Played 5 holes and I was in so much pain so I walked in...………..gutted
