Where is everyone from? What’s everyone’s handicap and what’s everyone’s home course?

[Beezerk]

Up in Gateshead, I joined my local course Garesfield in January after being a member at Chester Le Street since I took up the game about 6 years ago, currently clinging onto a 12 handicap

 

[Fabia999]

Sunderland, 15.0 and play at Ramside or at least I used to be fore the rain closed it 6 months ago ?

Heard about that. How have the courses held up?

p.s Have you seen reports on the food hygiene rating there? I was shocked

 

[rosecott]

no plans to get Am Status back then?

Does he need to? One of the frequent questions on WHS gave the answer that Club Pros can have a Handicap Index under WHS.

I’m in Tooting, London. I don’t have a handicap at the moment as I’ve only been playing about 8 months, but I expect it would be high if I did. No home course at present either but I play at the Oaks in Carshalton a fair bit. Tossing up whether to join Wimbledon Common or potentially Hampton Court in the summer though. Sadly given the deteriorating traffic situation recently most Surrey clubs are a bit too tricky to get to on a consistent basis to make a membership worthwhile.

I'm not too far from you and those courses, so if you ever fancy a round give me a shout, as i'm a nomad aswell....

I'm from "across the pond". I live in Charlotte NC and play at Myers Park Country Club. My current index is 13.5. I've had a bad Winter as my index was 10.3 in November.

 

[Orikoru]

I'm from south Watford, playing at Haste Hill, which is a public course our club operates from. I am just clinging onto 16 handicap still but will be up to 17 very soon I'm sure.

 

[Grant85]

Play at East Ren just south of Glasgow.

I got cut 6 shots last year and down to 17.9.
Hoping there's another couple of shots in there when this season gets going and I can get some practice in.

I'm living in West Sussex and have been a member at Haywards Heath GC since late summer '19. Basically only just managed to get three cards in by end of January because of the shite weather; all three rounds were in poor conditions and consequently I ended up with a 35 handicap. The (soon to be ex ) head pro there has been giving me lessons and reckons I should be aiming for 25 by the end of the summer and lower than that in the longer term. I got fitted for some Titleist T300s last week to replace my 11-year-old Wilson Staff Di9s and they will make quite a bit of a difference (20+ yards longer on each iron).

Mingebags.

Ive also played Bonyton about 7-8 times on the reciprocal, and Moor allerton as well, both good tracks. Whitefield is ok, but only ever played it in winter.

Get yourself over to Edmonstown in Dublin that’s very nice.

I believe so, its only round the corner from the K club, but couldnt fit it in when I played the K club a few years ago. I think ive played them all including the London ones, except Edmondstown.

p.s Have you seen reports on the food hygiene rating there? I was shocked

yep. They fixed the issues immediately and are waiting for another audit but I think they only had a 3 rating before. The clubhouse prices are ridiculous anyway So I never eat there. To be honest, when the course is open it’s drier than any other parkland course I’ve played this winter.

 

[mikeb4]

Play at Canmore GC in Dunfermline Kingdom of Fife, play off 4.8

 

[Duckster]

Live in Perth and play at Blairgowrie and Alyth off 6 on a good day.

Going to Perth on our annual Scotland jaunt this year, playing both of those as well as Murrayshall, Kinross and Falkirk on the way home. Roll on May!
