Angus_Young Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Well didn't manage the bounce game, making do with a few hits at the practise area before hand. First id picked up a club since September. Topped the b@stard off the first tee. Ended up holing a 20 footer for bogey. Dont think I've ever been that cold. First 7 or 8 was OK then the wind got up. Last 4 it was just a complete slog. Didn't help that they were working on the greens so it was a bit of a lottery on some of them. Round in 82. Not bad considering I had two 6's and an 8 on the front 9. Back in 37 though, which included four missed putts inside 4 or 5 feet so happy enough. Credit to Glenbervie. They phoned about an hour after I got home. In light of how cold it was and the work going on, would we like to go back for a free game? Fair play to them. Cracking track btw, would highly recommend.

That's very decent of them. Most places happy to take your money and see the back of you. And look, you've told people so it's great advertising that's cost them zero....

We were a wee bit disgruntled that no one had said to us prior to going out, about the greens, but as we were getting members guest rate, weren't going to complain.

Hammered down with rain all day so we got to go back for a free round. The course was actually playable the first time, they just said it didn't look enjoyable.......it wasn't, so fair play to them.

SMcoolJ Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Had a shocker of a golf weekend. I was 2 up with 3 to play on Saturday - I didn't even manage to take it down the 19th. Followed by a 84 in medal on Sunday (and my putting was superb). Went to see mate yesterday, 10 secs on video and problem found (hopefully). Mojo back. What a game this is!

Flora MaDonald Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 So true, SMcJ. So true. Videoed myself at the range today and was flatter than a witch's tit. Problem sorted - we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Had my first sub 80 round today. 79 at Kings Links,could quite easily have been 75/76 with putts lipping out. Always knew it was there,but getting it all together at once was the problem. Fine form to be on for Trump tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Trump today. Wow,what a track. Very impressed by it all,I'm 4/5 years when it all beds in,major course in the making. Had a great start,1 over after 4 and then we went into the wind and it bit back big time. Out in 55,came back in 44. Delighted to break a ton on my debut. Furst course I've ever played with two par 5's for the first 4 holes. Stunning. £5.50 for a lucozade sport and Fanta pre tee off though. Almost died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to be called the Red and Blue courses but they have 'proper' names now. Just checked, it's The Bruce I'm talking about. The Montgomery is the other.

irnbruman Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I like this Teeofftimes website. Getting some great deals here around Newcastle area. Played Tynemouth (£13) , Morpeth (£8) , Tyneside ( £14) - all really good courses. Played a 9 holer - but with 18 tees - Warkworth - £10 in the hionesty box - course ok but fantastic views right on the coast. Really annoying not being able to play more (I work at nights -so plenty of free time) - but thought Id recovered from Golfer's Elbow that I got last year - but its back - having to limit myself and drug up full of ibuprofen.
