Hope everyone is enjoying the weather.
Seems like everyone had the same idea as me, as it just took us 3 hours 10mins to play 9 holes, we ended up walking in. A ladies society turned up and just played glacially, whole course was backed up! You were looking at queues of 3 groups or more on the tee box.
They were on for a solid 6+ hour round, what’s the longest everyone’s been stuck behind someone?

However, we now can now book a time online since covid at mine....
Run a mile if something like that's scheduled in
What's your view on these second hand clubs? They look a great set and price to me.
I'm looking for my first set of clubs. Played when I was younger and also a few times in adulthood (pitch n putt rather than full courses). Very comfortable with the swing although really want to play and get more regularly. I'm 40 this year and battling the mid-life crisis

To save you clicking:
£400
Taylormade Burner driver
R580 3 wood
SLDR 4 hybrid
M2 irons
Cleveland 588 52 degree wedge
Mizuno MP T10 lob wedge
Rife putter
Bag
All regular flex
I've googled some of the items and they come out well in excess of this price. Nicely presented and look in good condition.
Any thoughts?

Same, but we tried to make the most of it. Patience was wearing thin by about the 6th though.
The club we were playing at had just been taken over by the parent company that owns our course, so we can’t see the tee sheet yet, otherwise yeah I would have avoided it.
I got stuck with a new lady golfer 2 weeks ago....36 handicap, 9hrs later....took it like a trooper! The club we were playing at had just been taken over by the parent company that owns our course, so we can’t see the tee sheet yet, otherwise yeah I would have avoided it.

Go online to golfbidder with a mate who knows your swing and build a bag....I wouldn't buy that, the audi quattro bags a definite no
It's a good idea although I don't have any friends who are into golf. Part of what I'd like to do is to start playing with some new people as my social circle is very small these days. I am tempted to pay for either a single lesson with a pro (£58 for an hour). Or a 5x30 minute ones for £150.
Part of that could be to ask about my swing and best clubs for me

Half decent putter & lightweight bag.
Spending on lessons is a great idea. Once every 3-6 weeks is the sweet spot when learning the game in my opinion.
Agreed RE that bag, not a fan!
. Can’t be bothered if it’s like that.
Played Thursday… no one went out for 30 minutes before us, yet there was a 4 ball on the 1st green as we teed off. We had a wait on the 2nd tee, so after completing 2 we thought we skip to 4… only to find a group on the tee and another on the green…. They’d been on the course over an hour.
f
k 6 hours… 5 hours for a 3 ball medal round was bad enough when I was playing regularly. Now I only play socially I’d rather not bother if it’s that slow.
Mate is a member there, so went back to the clubhouse and got a note for a round another day.

Bryson just lasered a yardage off the tee?! Never knew they could do that/ never seen a pro do it in a comp
Local rule for the US PGA apparently, range finders are allowed. Definitely something they should do more often imo. Fair play to Bobby Mac as well, good tournament finished off with quite the eagle on the last.
