The assistant pro was on his own in the shop when we enquired about the putting lab. He came across as a really helpful guy. He just gave us the keys,pointed out where we needed to go a said 'open up, and take a look round, and just lock up when you've finished'.
TBH I'm not quite sure what they do in there, despite him explaining it, but there was some serious kit in there including lots of expensive putters.
Like I said, we must of looked pretty Trustworthy I wouldn't be just handing the keys out with all that gear in there.

If I'm ever looking for a new putter I'll be heading up there. I think you'd struggle to find anywhere else with a much selection.

Who where the four if u weren't one... Gary... Pete and steady

Who else

 

[Qwerty]

Just a 3 ball today..... LB introduced us to the Carousel and its pretty good, only really works with a 3 ball, I try my best to explain.

6 points up for grabs on each hole. If you win the hole- 4pts. 2nd -2pts. 3rd-0pts
Or, winner- 4pts. Joint 2nd.- 1point each
Or joint winners. -3pts each. 3rd- 0pts
Or all square. 2-pts each

i think that's it, It's a really good format as the scores seem to swing dramatically throughout making it interesting.

all I'll say about the result is that it went to the wire.

Ive just been really distracted whilst writing this post by Thomas Bjorns beard on sky Have you seen it? It's pretty wild.

 

[Scouser]

LBs contrived format in his favour he pushed it close u won by two points... Him and Gary tied

a great day golf in testing wind. as qwerty says its a great course for driving as you are quite often hitting down hill. i think it will be harder in the summer when they let the rough grow although a fine still day would be nice.

fair play to qwerty. he played really well today and pipped pete on the last. sadly my game fell apart at the turn. i didnt make most of my opportunities on the back 9. the course will be fantastic in the summer. count me in for a return!

the putting lab was cool. i could spend all day in there trying every putter you could think of!

cheers for the day lads

Yep, a cracking course. The greens were very bumpy and still had micro tined holes, but when the greens are good I'll be straight back. Quite hilly,loads of elevation changes, and ideal for a drawer of a ball. No two holes are similar, and I think there is a Sunday open in late May......

Yes, Qwerty explained "Carousel" correctly.

It went down to the final putt on 18 (although he had two from 6 foot to win).

Yes, the putting lab is an Aladdin's cave. We could have spent all day in there - we only got the key, cos the scouser didn't ask!!!!!

They are going to consider a "group" price if anyone else fancies it, details to follow.

Dave/gary - dont forget to get your challenge down on the HFH handicap challenge thread.
