Booked up to go to Costa Del Sol for two weeks in July. Villa belongs to one of our members, and he gives good rates. Its on the Los Flamingos golf complex, near Estepona which has two fantastic courses. Laura Davies won a ladies comp there last year.

Didn't take the clubs last year, but will be this time. Anyone in the area in July and fancies a game let me know.

Off to Thailand for two weeks in February. Loads of sun and really cheap food. Shall have a sly glance at the Thai lovelies while the wife has got her head in a book. Got to be careful though as some are not quite what they seem.

Serves you right if you pick a Lady Boy.

I'd have no sympathy with you man!

Estrella Damm is a beer lol

Never had the urge for La Manga, quite a trip from the apartment I use and heard many a bad report last few years I've been over.

Might of known it's a beer doh! Must try one.

With La Manga, are you sure it's just the area and not the courses? I know due to the recession a lot of restaurants have closed and the building work had stopped - the apartments along side the North course. It was really disappointing to hear that the Indian Restaurant has gone - you could see over the whole complex from the balcony, the food was great too.

As for the courses, I preferred the West course and then the North. The South was good too but the harder of the 3 with the greens being wickedly fast - the only time I've had 4 and 5 putts on a green!

I was advised that the courses were in poor condition and most of all the other courses had reduced rates except La Manga.

Managed to play a few courses which I might not have if I had paid La Manga's fees.

PS Try the Estrella Black

Surprised to hear that Andy. Just shows how things can change in just a few years eh? It's a real shame as I really enjoyed playing there. I suppose since Barwell Leisure pulled out it's all gone down hill.

And thanks, will try the Estrella Black.

I'll have a check if I get over this year, see what the crack is.

Blacks are wicked lol

OK, it's a deal, and I'll check out the blacks too!
