Disser Pointon Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Southerness is well worth the trip, played their open last year. I was glad it was a Texas scramble though as it's a brute of a course, especially with a wind blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_liam06 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Has anyone booked a round in Belek as a one off? Ie a family holiday but nipped out for a round one day? None of the travel companies seem to want to know, I’m guessing because I’m not wanting the full shebang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escobri Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Taking inspiration from the cheap strips thread, I tried out grips from Temu. 10 iomic grips plus a fitting kit from ebay, total cost about £25. Grips are very good quality and hopefully they last a few years 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Have used knock off/cheap grips a couple of times and it is absolutely worth the money paying for the 'real' deal. If you want to shoot good scores, paying a bit more for decent grips is worth it. You might find the way you grip the club changes as the grip smooths out and loses the cushion.

Bought knock off Golf Pride grips once and they were a nightmare to get on right and align, they twisted and warped a little. After a season they look like they'd shrunk and lost the cushion feel. https://www.clubhousegolf.co.uk/acatalog/TourDri-Golf-Grip-Black.html#SID=9773 £4 a grip for those isn't bad, clearly not as fancy as a Golf Pride MCC but more trusted than eBay grips made from recycled car tyres/toxic shit.

kila Posted Friday at 13:04 Share Posted Friday at 13:04 Anyone tried the Titleist T iron range? Eyeing the T100 or T150. Don't want too chunky a club, like the look and feel of blades but after a bit more forgiveness and the T100 sounds just that though it's more geared towards tour players. T150 looks a bit bigger and less of a blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicksojo Posted Saturday at 16:51 Share Posted Saturday at 16:51 2.5 hours to get through 12 holes at longniddry this afternoon. Completely unacceptable. 4 ball two groups in front must have taken 3 hours to get through 12. Nothing gets on my goat more than slow play on the golf course.

You’re right, it’s not an awful time but when you’re waiting on people in front and being squeezed by people behind it takes a bit of the enjoyment out of the game for me. 3 hours for singles and 2 balls should be the target.

Tommy Brown Posted 52 minutes ago Share Posted 52 minutes ago Played Deer Park Seniors last year. The weather was cracking for September. Golfers must have been calling in asking for spaces and getting told to come along and they would get fitted in. 4-balls all very the place. I stood waiting on the 4th tee and looked at my watch. I had been on the course over an hour. It did get better, but I think it was 4hrs20 in the end. Raging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
