I usually feel a bout coming and start doing the stretches 3 or 4 times a day and it usually stops it from really kicking in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsmak Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks - I played on Sunday and hit a 373 yard drive on a 375 yard par 4 - wind assisted obviously. I've never driven that green before and always thought it might be possible... I was so close.... But hitting it well enough - I also drove the last into the wind at 290,,, But walking and swinging hurt like hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Fortunatley for me my sciatic pain doesn't bother me while playing or being active in general. It's not sciatica itself I suffer from, took me years to find out it's actually piriformis syndrome. A tiny muscle deep in the arse cheek that runs right across the sciatic nerve, so when it becomes inflammed it presses up against it.

Tommy Brown Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Don't know about any of the others, but there is always a fair chance of a really stiff breeze at amarilla and GDS. Can make it tough. Hopefully, going in October, force myself to hire clubs for the week and play 3 round package. Love that area, like a 2nd home to me.

I'm the opposite Tommy, just cooking lying in the sun does my thrupenny bits in, need to be doing something, even just going for a walk, cant lie in it. Being fair skinned doesn't help. Played Highlands Reserve over their years ago, it was shitpence. 30 bucks, Callaway club hire, buggie, pint and a sandwich. One of the par 5s skirted our Villa, nipped in for a refreshment, found memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the par 3 2nd is a great hole. Can't be shy of 200 yards and practically all carry to a green surrounded by black sand. Really enjoyed the hole on the back 9, may have been the 2nd to last hole, approach shot over the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive not played Pitreavie for a long time, but for some reason don’t remember it being that great. Dunfermline I like but it isn’t that much of a challenge and last time I looked it actually still had a joining fee, although that was probably about 3 years ago, can’t see membership prices on their website. Forrester Park can be played all year round and has only ever been shut apparently due to frost or snow. It is also full course all year round greens and tees I have been told. Don’t think they use mats either, although one of our resident Winter Mat Experts might put me right on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
