Off Topic The Golfing Thread

Anyone watching the pga tour tonight? If tiger wins he ties Sam Sneads record for most wins on the tour, 82. Unbelievable.

 

Mate of mine has just come back from a golf trip to Thailand.

He plays off 6 and was blown away by the knowledge that the caddies have of the course.

 

Blown?

 

Well i didn't ask to be honest

 

A dozen guys I know have just gone to Belack? In Turkey... I could have gone with them but senior management has insisted we take the grandkids away for half-term...

Turkey as far ad I can tell seems the new Spain/Portugal ie a lot cheaper and good hotels and golf

 

Senior management should realise that to keep staff engaged they should include them and their ideas

 

Been invited to another corporate day at Royal Adelaide Golf Course, one of the best 3 in South Australia. Guest green fee prices are well beyond me so i'm really looking forward to it (9th December).

Only concern is with the amount of free alcohol available from 9am i may forget the experience

 

You can't beat a good corporate day Ozzy... Sounds like a job for a Taxi and just indulge

 

9am shotgun start with a 3 course meal afterwards.
It's gonna be full of pub/hotel owners and from what i've been told the booze runs pretty freely from about 8am

This is the course https://www.royaladelaidegolf.com.au/cms/visitors-golf/corporate-golf-course-tour/

 

Thats my kinda course ...stunning track. Have fun

 

I will, that's for sure. If you're interseted have a look at Kooyonga and Glenelg as they're probably considered the other 2 premium courses in Adelaide.

 

Looking at winter membership at South Shields or Whitburn.

I’ve played Whitburn a few times but never Shields.

 

Shields is the better course.. I play Whitburn a fair bit, my uncle is a member there. The committees of both clubs need to stop being so precious and combine together. But being old and curmudgeon not likely to happen

 

Aye, one of my best mates is a member at Whitburn and he loves it.

£250 for full membership until the end of March with the offer to stay a member for a ‘fair’ price.

 

Whitburn are struggling quite badly. I play there quite a bit. It's not a bad track but I'd get bored being there all the time.
My mates dad is captain next year

 

How much is everyone paying for membership. Ours at castle Eden have stopped the same for next year and will be £680 which is very good valve for me as I play 5 times a week over the summer and 2 times over the winter.

 

I pay $1074 for the year so about 570 pound

 

Brancepeth £827

 

on one of our Ryder Cup weekends, we went to Dubai and had a few rounds, On the Friday night we all went out till about 3am...got absolutely hammered. One guy didn't make the full round the next day..check out the link.
