    On the Welsh border for a few days. 

    Just played Llanymynech golf club. Apparently the only golf club in Europe that crosses a border between 2 countries. 


    The 4th hole you tee off in Wales and putt in England. 
    Then you play 5 and 6 in England before reentering Wales for 7 onwards. 

    Beautiful views, tough course, very narrow off the tees and almost every hole is a blind tee shot owing to elevation changes. 
    Thank god we treated ourselves to buggies cos I’d have keeled over after 6 otherwise. 

    Definitely one of those courses were local knowledge and just knowing where to hit could knock half a dozen shots off the scorecard.

    Played it about 25 years ago. Bugger of a par 3 over a ravine - must have scored at least a 6 there as I put at least one ball in the ravine !!

    Quadruple lucky with his handicap - I bet that person wasn't playing off scratch. I suspect that there are more golfers using the existing system to get their handicap as high as possible than racehorse trainers running their charges down the field in order to do the complete opposite.

    Anyone scoring 53pts should be A. Banned from all future comps. B. Fucking ashamed of themselves.

    Bandits.
    Exactly. Its cheating,plain and simple.

    Anyone played Dunston Hall in Norfolk in recent years?

    53pts 🤣
    that’s the equivalent of a 28hcp shooting an 83. I suppose in this day and age when men can play off even higher hcps it’s feasible around an easy course but not at Sundridge. No way… not having it!! Cheat……!! pure and simple!!🤬🤬

    Come on, it must have been a 36 hole comp surely. Nobody scores 53 points in a Stableford comp. Equivalent to a net birdie on every hole.
    Shameful.

    My grandson scored 55 playing off his first official handicap of 23. Now plays off 3 two years later.

    Apparently the winners group (it was the two highest scores per team) got 7 pts per hole 🤦‍♂️
    The winner also won the longest drive

    Absolutely agree 54 points at the London Club his team 120 points is the highest return I’ve ever heard of in over 50 years of golf, cheating basterds in my view

    One of my sons had his best ever round and scored 78 giving him 40 points off of 7. He doesn’t care if he wins or not, but golf is a competitive game. In all the years I played I rarely experienced anyone posting more than 42 points. Imagine posting 53 points, that means off of a reasonable handicap like 18, you would have to score around 73 which is simply not done.

    3 rounds of golf over the weekend. Rio Real, Marbella Golf and Country Club and Los Arqueros on the annual trip away with the society that I have been part of over 25 years

    23 out there which is one of the biggest numbers we have had. If the drinking was as good as our golf, then we would be all seriously wealthy people. A few broken bodies this weekend
