Nomad in the Cambridge Area

[ScienceBoy]

Anyone up for a game over the next few months?

I am free both Saturdays and Sundays most weekends, just looking for company and golf! (fed up of playing on my own).

Feel free to PM me or drop a message here.

i often play (very) early on a saturday, you are welcome to come over for a knock. I am about 45 mins from cambs

I'd be up for this. Anywhere in mind? Could do Brampton Park, or somewhere else local. Are you still in and around Cambs? Was it Cherry Hinton side?

 

[MrBrightside]

I'm north of Cambridge, but still trying to break 100 so won't be much company at the minute - give it a couple of months lol.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Yeah still south cambs, should be up for a game from mid march. Pick a saturday or sunday and name a time, I might just be there!

Drop me a PM if anyone is free, I will be happy to play with anyone as my game is not up to much at the moment either.

Off topic, but do you guys know of anywhere in Cambs that has a driving range or practice area you can hit off of grass?

as a new player I'm struggling to transfer my game from range to course and think it might help, a lot to get some practice off the real stuff in.

I would be up to help with that, have you read my three goals method post for breaking 100?

 

[MrBrightside]

Thanks for the hedads up, but your thread is more course management - I'm looking to take the fundamentals to the course and I think practicing off grass could help.

Gog Magog is a grass practice area. Split into 2 areas - 1 where you buy a basket and they collect them and the other where you can hit your own balls and you collect them. It's a really good facility. I'm assuming open to all and not just members though...

also, direct golf at hemmingford have a grass section. Think you need to sign up for a range card (£10 a year, discount balls) but its pretty good.

I'm free the next three weekends for 18 anywhere within an hour of south cambridge. Price isn't much of an issue as it's a rare treat but under 60 would be nice!

I will play with anyone of any ability, I am just glad for the company.

Unfortunately the practice area at Gog Magog is only open to visitors if playing the courses, can't just turn up and use it.

Ahhh - I did wonder. Thanks for clarifying.

No worries, I'm not sure why its not open to the public TBH

You would be surprised how much it would help.

If you fancy a round I promise not to mention three goals!

lol, give a couple of weeks and we'll get something arranged then, are you available mid-week?

 

[ScienceBoy]

are you available mid-week?

Sadly not until the summer, and then only for courses close to the science park for an evening game.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Anyone for this or next weekend?

Hey, sorry only just noticed this thread, but yeah I'd be well up for a game any time, let me know when and where you fancy, i'm pretty flexible
