Cheers

Hi Richy

I am Kev and I am very very new to golf.(I have not put in for a handicap yet and still need to have lessons)I have rarely played a game with anyone other than my brother since I started playing.

But I would like to have a game with another player sometime.My course Ryton about 5 miles west of Newcastle on the Tyne,re-opened a couple of days ago....but as things stand I think I am unable to play until the weekend.I also try to play midweek morning games in the winter (around 8.15 tee offs).

Although I am a member at Ryton the nearest course to where I live (Rowlands Gill ) is Garesfield at High Spen.I love playing that course.

Where do you play at Richy?

Kev

I'm from winlaton mill and would fancy a game this weekend 8th or 9th if anyone fancies it.

Not played Garesfield yet, so far only played Matfen, Longhirst and Hobson

Alright Kev

Ive only been playing about a year and I play at Gosforth (think I'll be leaving when my membership runs out ).

My uncle is a member at Garesfield and was thinking of joinning there. I'd be up for a game most of the time to be honest.

Kevin/Richy

If your both able to play either this saturday or sunday then my course at Ryton is open at the moment.

As it stands I am able to play either day (I am hoping my brother can play too )

The visitor fee with a member at ryton is around £8-£10 in the winter,not bad eh.

If you both can play either day then we could leave it until later in the week to decide which day,as me being a member I can get visitors on with me around mid-morning even though competitions are on.

How does that sound lads?

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

sounds good to me and I'm free both days

anyone mind if I bring a friend? my mate may or may not be available but I'm up for it regardless

Hi again Richy
Same here been playing 18 hole golf since March after starting at par 3 last xmas.

I have a big decision to make come March between staying at Ryton or joining Garesfield,it will deffo be 1 or the other.

I have been lucky so far to have played around 10 courses already...Ryton,Garesfield,Burnopfield(Hobson),Prudhoe,Stocksfield,Linden Hall,Tynedale(Hexham),Allendale,Wallsend,and a couple in Scotland called Colvend and Innerleithen.Love playing other courses!

When did you get your handicap? I am itching to put in for mine in March

Kev

 

[richy]

sounds good to me and I'm free both days

Kev

Sounds good also and should be free both days.

Hi mate

I go mine around june(ish) but I havent been able to play in any comps yet due to working away and the weather. Hopefully I'll be ok this year. Im defo up for a knock this weekend

Alreet Kevin

Matfen and Longhirst 2 of the longer courses then? I have played Hobson a few times,nice course.But arnt they all.

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

It claims that longhirst is only 5643yds on the lakes (harder course with loads of water) but I would have thought it to be longer. It certainly seems longer than hobson and matfen but that could have just been the way it is laid out.

Longhirst is where I've played most, just as pay-per-play. I've been playing every month now for 2 years, but I've decided to step up my game and play more often.

I've friends at Beamish and Matfen, but am looking to spend this year 'touring' the north t find a club I like. It would have to be going some to beat longhirst though. Especially with the choice of 2 courses

 

[Kellfire]

I'm down in Boro and will probably be looking for weekend games a bit further into the year.

Ryton plays around 6300 on the whites the comps tees I play off the yellows around 5800 suits me fine as I struggle with distance.With the winter greens on and 4/5 forward tees as well I would guess the tees are playing around 5400 at the minute.

The course at the moment is struggling after the bad weather has hit it...could be very wet and muddy in parts at the weekend.Wont put me off at all.I just love playing,me the enthusiastic novice.

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

think I'll use lake balls and keep my decent ones for drier times. I've heard many stories about balls getting so well plugged in the ground they have been left in and given up on.

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

Any thoughts yet lads? (lasses?)

I'm open to ideas about when/where we play (company fuel card) but just as long as it isn't too expensive a round. We are in a recession after all. Actually thats a lie, I've just bought new irons and a new 3 wood when I hadn't planned to.

I've tried the irons at the driving range and cant wait to get them onto the greens.

 

[richy]

Im happy to play anywhere thats open.

 

[kev_off_the_tee]

I think that's anywhere now.

I'd be happy playing anywhere and would be happy to take you guys up to Longhirst. If we get a round for 12pm then it's only a tenna a man but bare in mind the times it gets dark. We can book anytime before that for £20.

I'm not sure elsewhere but wil look around clubs on the internet
