Jamie_B Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yesterday - net 77 (nine over). Today - net 61 (seven under). Same course, same blustery conditions. You’ve got to love golf. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 At the risk of sounding like their sales rep, I've bought quite a few bits and pieces from Druids this year, haven't paid full price for anything. All the stuff I've got has been very good quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 8 of us booked up for Vilamoura in September. 7 days and 5 rounds at 5 different ‘Dom Pedro’ courses, staying in the Hilton which I assume will be of a good standard. £999 per person for flights, hotel and green fees, which from all accounts will be worth every penny. Need to stop watching YouTube videos from the courses as I’m going to spend the next few months wishing my life away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you played any of these Dom Pedro courses before? From what I can see online everyone of them looks immaculate. I noticed the ‘Dom Pedro Victoria’ course has hosted the Portuguese Masters on the European Tour, and it looks absolutely stunning. Lots of water hazards on it so I will remember to take a couple of dozen balls out that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been out there a dozen times and have played them all as in a lucky position that a friends mum lives there so we get "locals" rates .You will find theres loads of locals that pop up at various holes on every course selling lost balls so if you run short no need to pay clubhouse prices and because it's a golfers mecca it ain't crap you get from them.The resteraunt besides the steps (obvious when there) does the best mixed grill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came highly recommended by a few acquaintances of ours and we enquired through a website that was advertising the full package for £1199 per person but my friend got them down to a grand each for 8 of us. Considering you can pay 4/500 quid for a weekend away within the UK to play a couple of good courses, it’s good value for a weeks holiday and 5 rounds of golf. I’ve never been golfing abroad before, is it just a case of buying a travel case for the clubs and turning up at the airport? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, suitcases usually go in at check in and clubs to the oversize desk dependant on who you are flying with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then yes and what I do is stuff all my clothes in there aswell I also put some golf towels in between my clubs and put the rain cover on aswell to stuff it out so the clubs can't clatter about in transit and I've never experienced any damage and we use the Ryanair direct to Faro from edinburgh flight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if the luggage is prepaid or not I will need to find that out.

Done that flight many a time from Prestwick, usually manage toiletries and most of my clothes in beside the clubs. I have a soft travel case so packing as much up top protects the driver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard a couple of stories with guys taking their clubs abroad and finding some of them damaged when they got there. Spotted a case on American Golf from a brand called Big Max, has wheels attached and looks a good size for £79.99. It’s not a hard shell though just fabric. I was expecting the cases to be more expensive than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely tremendous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
