Really enjoyed it and will definitely try to get back there in the summer to play the course at its full length and in warmer conditions Oooh what gave you that idea? Wee bit better than St Michaels eh. I have lots more suggestions as it happens. If you don't act like a w**k I'll give you some more recommendations. Glad you enjoyed it. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky_nomad Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I always enjoy a day out at Drumoig (the 5 x Par 5s in particular are all decent holes), but the 3 tee shots at 9, 10 and 11 are terrifying, particularly in a cross-wind. Great value, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I’ve played Drumoig once. I dumped 7 balls in the water on that 3 hole stretch. Scarred for life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 First round as a club member today, after an 11 year break from golf membership. Time to start keeping cards and getting my handicap sorted. I've no doubt whatsoever that it will be whatever the max they give out is, until I can sort out my utter determination to turn getting GIR into a 6, and so forth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Anyone ever played Royal Lytham before? Have a voucher to play there that expires in September so need to get that sorted. Played Turnberry last month which was great, got a lesson and a round for £99 on an itison voucher. Windy as f**k the last 4 holes which was brutal but the rest of it was great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for me you'd still be hacking it round St Michaels and thinking it's a good course. You're welcome though, always glad to enlighten less knowledgeable and experienced players. It was me that played St Mikes and said I liked it. I was hardly claiming it should be on the PGA tour but it was good for a winter knock. Nothing wrong with trying places you’ve never played before. Imagine getting that aggressive about folk having a nice time to themselves playing a sport they enjoy. Those two holes pictured at Drumoig are superb, looking forward to getting back there in the next few weeks for the first time in a few years. It is a cracking course and last time I was there it was dead. Played my home track today for the second time this year. Last week I couldn’t hit my driver anywhere but off the toe and went round in 93. Went for a lesson earlier this week which helped no end. No surprise I went round in 80 today… Fucking raging though on the 13th. Absolutely flushed a driver right out of the middle and watched it bounce exactly where I’d aimed and run out quite far. As I walked up I saw a dog legging it off into the out of bounds on the left. Couldn’t find my ball at all. Tuned out the fucking dog had nicked it and ran back to its owner with it. Had to just guess where it had landed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a handicap up to 54 these days, but if you're hitting any GIRs with any kind of regularity, that's clearly not for you!

I've not played Royal Lytham but if you're making a weekend of it and fancy an additional round somewhere, then I'd recommend St Annes Old links, it's excellent condition and quite an interesting and very playable lay out. It's not cheap but I'm sure they do Winter deals up until April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
