BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Gripmore are good and Ecco shoes get a great right up. County golf generally great for cheap, branded clothes- also be sure to hit up TK Maxx for some bargains. Just ordered a few things from county golf, good prices. Cheers for the advise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Just ordered a few things from county golf, good prices. Cheers for the advise. Ecco shoes are brilliant but expensive as f**k. There are other cheaper ones just as good, Footjoy, Nike etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Where did you get your FJ from? I've got a pair of Footjoy soft spikes that I got from Watt Brothers for about 35 quid, and they are like wearing carpet slippers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Where did you get your FJ from? Pro-shop at Scotscraig GC in Tayport. Really helpful Pro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I let my handicap lapse by not playing the three medals a couple of Years ago, but I want it back this year. I believe I just need to get three cards in. Will the club assess those cards and arrive at a handicap, based on them? Or will they just look at what it was when it lapsed and give me something similar? I suspect that my old handicap was lower than would be reflected in any three cards I'd get in anytime soon.

Bit of a combination id think,guys that do the handicaps at most clubs are usually pretty good at sorting it out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 From SGU FAQs http://www.scottishgolf.org/wp-content/uploads/FAQs.pdf What does a player need to do to regain a ‘Competition Handicap? To regain a CONGU® compliant ‘Competition Handicap’ it is necessary to return a minimum of three cards in accordance with Clauses 16.2/16.3 of the CONGU® Unified Handicapping System. Following submission, by a player, of the required number of cards to regain a ‘Competition Handicap’, would their handicap be restored at the previous level? Not necessarily. The handicap allocated should be based on the cards returned, the ‘live’ cards carried forward, where applicable, together with all information available about the player’s playing history and ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It sounds kind of discretionary. I'll need to take my chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I promise to get a P&B golf day sorted for next year. Probably somewhere quite short, easy and cheap rather than somewhere prestigious so that people of all abilities feel like they can compete.

peasy23 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Looking forward to DL3s usual top notch Masters preview, Tiger Woods has confirmed that he won't play next week as he tries to get over his back injury which he says he is making progress in. He is now 472nd in the World Rankings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi Squirrel, you still fancy doing this? Yes. But having organised many, many golf meets (including nationwide competitions), I have to be prepared to become unpopular. That is, there is no point in asking everyone what day they prefer, the location, the standard of golf course, rules of competition, tee off time etc etc- it ends up with a 20 page discussion, followed by arguments, people saying "ahm no playing' there" and "feck you, I'll arrange ma own comp, ya bass" and so on. In there interests of (finally) getting a P&B meet arranged, I will pick the date, I will pick the location, I will be demanding a 50% deposit 8 weeks in advance and then it's up to the masses whether they want to come, or not. Harsh, but fair and I hope you and everyone else understands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 In the meantime, I could do with everyone chipping in to confirm whether they'd want to play if: a) The date is suitable b) The location is accessible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Okay so I have a question that I have been looking into and reading up online but not taking it in at all. GOLF BALLS.....is there such a thing as a more forgiven ball or the polar opposite? I am trying to find a ball that I like but don't want to buy a rubbish ball that doesn't give good distance. Plus I don't want to buy a ball that may be to good for me and if I play a draw/fade the ball may exagerate with spin how bad my shot is. Is that possible, does that make sense and does it exist or am I over thinking as usuall and trying to blame a golf ball for my bad golf? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
