Armageddon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Don't mate , had a rough few weeks, girlfriend has been really ill, touring hospitals in Scotland has been our holiday, she's not allowed to fly for the foreseeable future either. Home now though, hopefully on the mend. The weather in Glasgow was shite, if that's any help to you Oh man, hope she's ok ... take her out for a few nice long walks on large neatly cut grass filled areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StSow Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 16 of us Just home from a week golfing in Spain. Played some quality tracks which were all unbelievably tight. The closest anyone got to their handicaps was 32 pts. The hangovers didn't help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'd love a golf trip again. What part of Spain did you go to? We are thinking about it for next April.

Samuel Camazzola Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Anyone played The Dukes, Muckhart or Elmwood? Got them down as my 3 picks for the Golf Show. Played the Duke's several times. Great course but can play very long if wet. Cracking clubhouse with views looking down onto the bottom of the course and St Andrews. Playing Muckhart this year as part of Bunkered offer.

hmfc_liam06 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Anyone played The Dukes, Muckhart or Elmwood? Got them down as my 3 picks for the Golf Show. Muck art is a cracking course. It has 3 9's and they rotate between them to create 18 holes. It was originally an 18 hole but they created a new 9, the new 9 is weaker than the old 18. Elmwood is where they train greenkeepers via the local college. Nice enough course, few really nice holes but I found it so-so. Yet to play the Dukes but I've got a freebie there this year too.

It's not a memorable course overall though I'd say. Couple of years since I've played it mind you but nothing else really sticks out. Just a decent course.

StSow Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 (edited) I'd love a golf trip again. What part of Spain did you go to? Went to a place called El rompido in andalusia. Actually flew to faro in Portugal and was about 1 hour away into Spain. The 2 courses on the resort were excellent, designed round an estuary. but the highlight was a course called Isla cannela. A really classy course which you had to shape the ball of the tee to have a reasonable length approach. Only shot 28 points but still sat in the clubhouse chuffed to bits. Also played an olazabal design which I forget the name of. Was only 5 years old or so and you could tell it was still a bit young, scruffy round the edges.

I'm kind of wincing at the lack of head covers! (although I know this is just for the photo) I went set wedge (46 deg) then Vokey 52, 56 and 60, I find the jump from set wedge to 52 too big, I need to learn to choke the set wedge down. Your set up would suit me better. Love the 816 hybrid, probably the best club in my bag in terms of being able to hit it from 180-200 and actually shape it too. Pity we couldn't have a table on this thread to track handicaps during the season to see how we're all doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking down it has a decent sized footprint that gives you confidence too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irufushi Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've had a good few hits with my new irons now, was at the range yesterday and was absolutely crisping them, hard to say for sure, but I reckon I'm a half a club longer at the least. What I will say was they don't come close in terms of feel compared to my old mizuno's, I was playing with my mate in Ullapool (who I sold my Mizuno's to) and I forgot how good they feel when striking. Both lovely clubs though, even though the mizuno's are a fair age now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
