Thanks for the suggestions. We'll be going sometime between May & July! Going to do the usual 2 night 3 round break. We played at the Bell in in Brampton last year which was decent enough. Will have a look at those courses, cheers!
I wouldn't go near the Isle of Purbeck, only played it once, it is such a difficult course (links course) from memory I think I lost about 9 balls during a 5 hour round one Saturday, unless you are single figure handicappers that can play in the wind, don't bother, we also played Ferndown which is a very good course (something to do with Peter Alice) but you would have to play it on the Friday.always wanted to play remedy oak

They look good.
Have to say that I'm not a fan of the newer style of shoe that has emerged over recent times. To my eyes they look all out of proportion and as though folk are walking round with big suckers on their feet!
I agree - can't stand any of the Nike/Adidas/Under Armour shoes, they're just trainers with spikes which, in my opinion, should not be allowed on the course.Have to say that I'm not a fan of the newer style of shoe that has emerged over recent times.

If anyone is thinking about a new driver, don't get one until you've tried the M1, it's an absolute weapon.
COR has been maxed for years so I don't understand why it's so long but it's flying further than where my Vapor Pro rolls out to.
Not liked a TM driver since the R9 but this thing is the real deal.

A PB 77 for me today. +6 for 39 points playing off 9 in a club stableford. I was joint clubhouse leader when we walked in at 6pm.
Could have been better too, as I was +1 after 9, and usually play the back 9 of that course better, but I lost it a bit with my mid irons and started inexplicably push/fading them.
Still...Very happy.

Must be the shaft rather than the club head?COR has been maxed for years so I don't understand why it's so long but it's flying further than where my Vapor Pro rolls out to.

I'm returning my Game Golf tags. The Android app has more bugs than a rotting tree, the primary one being an inability to actually upload the data from the round.
I played Sunday morning with a shocking hangover and drove better than I ever have before, my chipping was good too. Unfortunately the greens had all been hollow-tined recently which cost me a few shots and I also had a run of 5 bad holes in a row that ruined my score. Plenty of good golf in there though.
I also did something very silly today and have ordered a second hand set of Mizuno MP4 irons. Everyone says that you have to be Adam Scott to hit blades but I want to find out for my self. I got them for a very good price and can easily sell them on for what I bought them for, if not more. It was an itch I was always going to scratch so I thought I'd get it out the way.
They look incredible.

I play of ~12 and bought blades despite that, will never play anything else!
One of the biggest myths in golf imo.
