Remember I called myself a bottle merchant a few days ago? Can confirm 100%.
17th tee needed 2 pars for a 80 would have got me close to winning Tuesday medal. Birdied par 5 17 then stuck 2 out the park on the long par 3 18 ending up with a 9 for 85
What a game dunno whether to be really happy with the 17 holes or disgusted by how bad I can swing it when its needed.
I have a question though. You guys (TK, Tom et all) seem to play quite a few courses which is lovely but if you are paying green fees every day and you are playing most days doesn't it add up quite a bit? Wouldn't you be a lot cheaper being a member somewhere? I get there is the trade off from playing different courses and I've no idea what most of these places charge or if they are even open to new members as most of the sites that have been linked don't tell you what a membership fee is but just sounds quite expensive assuming you are paying about 20-30 quid a round minimum and playing 4 or 5 times a week? Morning James.
It's not quite what it seems though. We talk about playing Priory & Moorlands a lot but they are part of the same Membership, it's two courses for the price of one in effect, they are the same Club & the Courses are adjacent. It's very rare we play elsewhere, except for "The Lad's Golf Days", the occasional game with Ralph at Wollaton, or the occasional round at Mickleover when there are no tee-times available at our preferred tracks. Based on 4 or 5 Rounds a week it's very very reasonable.
