Got out for twelve after work today. Absolutely spectacular, course in tip top condition. Greens, fairways, rough, tee boxes, aprons all freshly cut. A real joy to be out there :) Doubt it will get much better than it is right now aside from greens getting a little faster.

@jaybee you go back to where you last played your shot and take it again for a one stroke penalty. I highly recommend anyone downloads the R&A Rules of Golf app onto their smartphone, dead easy to use and lookup the relevant rule when you're in a pinch and no one in your group knows the...

Just in case you didn't know, you can take a drop within the bunker for a one stroke penalty (back on the line or lateral) or drop out of the bunker for a two stroke penalty (back on the line). You can also take stroke and distance.

@Zeebedy lovely setup :) Do you need anything on the ground to stop the balls getting scuffed up from the bricks or do they gently roll down the back of netting safely back to planet earth?

Much to my amazement despite the early tee time and the cool temperatures, was still out in shorts, I played much better today. Actually looked like a seasoned golfer for the most part :p Monthly stableford of the whites (6400 yards) and scored 35 pts playing off 23. Along the way made nine...

Luck of the draw gave me the 1st tee time tomorrow (07:58) for the weekly roll up :cry: As if the golfing gods know. Range is now open from 7am, debating whether to get up really early to get a warm up in first or just book into the par three and hit a few 9i/PW to warm up.

Thanks - sound advice :) Point three well worth remembering. Just frustrating that I can't seem to play well on that course at all. Wish they'd mix it up and do the odd comp on the other course. Still they are supposedly going to start doing some afternoon comps this year to go with their...

A question for the masses, do you think course length has a significant influence on handicap? A conversion a couple of weeks back with someone who supports one of our systems at work got me thinking about this. Can't recall exactly how it came up but I mentioned I played golf and could...

First comp of the year today, I am not cut out for morning golf! Only did a few last year to get an initial handicap. Going to try and do more this year now I'm a full member and it's not costing me lots of credits. Utter garbage from first to last pretty much sums it up. 28pts playing off...

Wouldn't mind some of McCarthy's putting. I was pleased with 35 for my round earlier including a couple of one puts for par. He's had 91 all week tying the PGA tour record!

While we've still had plenty of rain recently down south we've also had warmish temps and a breeze to help dry things out so while bunkers are often GUR the courses have remained opened.

^ must be nice having all that £££ when you're already a member at two clubs :p

^ thanks. After measuring the Micra was the only one, besides the fold flats, that would fit in my boot without putting the seat down. I have to put one side down to fit the golf bag in and didn't want to have both down if I could avoid it to stop stuff rolling around. Just placed an order...

Thanks for the recommendation, should have specified I'm looking at push models.

In the market for a compact trolley if anyone has any recommendations as to what I should be considering? Currently eyeing up PowaKaddy DLX Lite FF and Micra. Need to check measurements on the later to see if it will fit in my boot without folding seats down, which is my preference...

Feeling it this afternoon after carrying my full bag this morning and having got out for nine after work on Friday. Not much to write home about today but at least my driving was solid. Last couple of rounds it had been truly atrocious. Putting was shocking, 42 putts total! The number of puts...

@Maccy Book running on how long the Pro V1's last or are you going to save them 'till summer :p

Decided to bit the bullet and take out a full membership at my local club where I've been a flexi member the past year. No joining fee as I was upgrading, £142 a month and you can cancel at any time. You can get it cheaper by paying in one lump sum for the year but I wanted to spread the cost...

^ yeah, my club has a trackman range and when playing virtual golf chip shots around the green are always woefully inaccurate.

@MarkA officially jealous! Love the look of the T150's
