Armageddon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Could we do it that we count scores submitted on How Did I Do? I don't mind compiling them. Pity there wasn't a league that can be set up on HDID ... maybe there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 It was the same irons, local range had a second hand set for ?280 so I just took them. They were in amazing condition, barely looked used. I'd be up for a wee league table for the banter. How would we work it though? Some guys might not play as regular as others? Best 10 scores or an average over the season? Something like that? Sold them to a mate of a mate for ?250 ... I've now no irons and a game at Archerfield on the 27th Dec, played myself into a corner here!!! I won't be telling the wife what I think I'm going to do as she will absolutely kill me.

Armageddon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 What irons you planning Armageddon? Also what's your handicap? Haven't a clue ... I'm off 9 with an addiction to buying golf gear! Started the season at 13 so it's been decent. Settled with my Scotty Fastback putter, SM5 wedges 52, 56, 60. 915 D3 driver, 915F wood and 816H Hybrid ... now the iron game. Bought the 714 AP1's 12 months ago this week, then bought the 716 AP2's (yours!) only a few months back and only hit them at the range, 9 iron hit a full 50 balls and that's been the most!. Why why why (was her words, and mine!) but now I plan to go to the TPEGS at Archerfield and get fitted for the best suiting iron for my swing, they'll have a few brands on offer early next year. My mates a pro and can get me some decent deals. You'll hear the scream if I'm matched with AP2's . I love Speith and wanted what he had.

Pity there wasn't a league that can be set up on HDID ... maybe there is. That sounds good. The small problem will likely be that someone's club will not use How Did I Do. I know Liberton and Swanston are two that use an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 that is some addiction Edit, got a set of mp62's for sale here Bargain ?150 And we both know about the ****** up with your 716 wedge, yip I've 714 AP2's in the club locker . If she finds out about them she'll divorce me, I use them for golfing abroad, no worrying when playing blootered!! That's the 714 wedge in the photo, still immaculate!! Need to swap it over for the correct one for you. 2017 is the year of buying NO golf gear AND getting cut to 5 or 6. Although I fancy new shoes and a Bushnell.

Current favourite is centenary course at Gleneagles, anyone recommend somewhere else? What is his ability like? PGA Centenary won't be all too enjoyable if he's not very good having taken the game back up. It's also the poorest of the 3 Gleneagles courses, certainly from opinion of those I know who've played all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Yup, 2nd most enjoyable course I've played. Playing Muirfield next month so that could change I had an unbelievable experience there, we had the course to ourselves and the weather was perfect. Shot an 82 with 4 double bogeys and was in 7 bunkers. Some spectacular holes, it's not hugley hilly but the slopes and run offs are something else. Magical. Kingsbarns. One of the best, the setting is hard to beat and the whole experience is near perfect. The par 3 15th is class and then 3, 9, 12 and 16 are beasts! Queens is the easiest I believe. What's your price range? I hit a 350 yard drive here the last time i played. Yip, the frost was unreal and they still put us out on the course!! Blairgowrie - could play both courses St Andrews Jubilee course Dundonald Links - going to be hosting the Scottish Open Gailes Links Luffness If you wanted to make a weekend of it then a trip to Machrihanish or up north to Moray. Dundonald is a cracker, although needs work for the Scottish Open. The car park and clubhouse are surprising for such a great course. Gullane 3 is reasonably priced, not long but maintains the same standard as #1 and #2. Playing there again on the 28th, good test and nice and short. Archerfield on the 27th, Gullane 3 on the 28th and Renaissance on the 29th. I better go and buy some irons!!!

Interesting...was playing with a mate on Sat and mentioned we were thinking of going to play it during xmas and new year. His advice was for us not too, said it is tight and a ball in the rough is a goner. Going to Longniddry and Dalmahoy next Wednesday and Thursday if the weather is good. ?90 a fourball for Longniddry and ?15 a head for Dalmahoy East.

Had these for 6 odd years, well looked after, it's a 3-pw set mp-62's, S300 dynamic gold stiff shafts, Mid size tour wrap grips, around a year old. Usual wear and tear, 8 iron has a small stone chip on its sole, apart from that no other chips. Around ?150, if anyone is interested.

Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 816. 16 degree version. The 14 goes far too close to my driver. Love it. My go to club when driver isn't behaving. Can pick them up cheap on eBay. Just cleaning the clubs the now actually. Pretty happy with everything, but if I could make one change it would be to switch my 4 iron for a 23/24 degree utility iron, or even swap it for the 716 AP1 version.
