    No, it most certainly isn't.

    It's fair to say I'd rather watch it over any football bar United, and even then it's only just.

    Pennard? Is an option on a package deal.

    Course I played today was hard. Played Tewkesbury park.

    Not bashing the sport (if you can even call it that <whistle> ) just not my cup of tea. Every time there was a major competition (Masters, Ryder's cup, US Open) my dad would be downstairs with gold on. Asleep.

    Speaking of tea. Is it bad that I don't like tea?

    I drink more coffee than tea, to be fair I only play golf in the summer and not very well I might add.

    Yes, it is that bad. I literally could not live without tea! The first thing I do every day of my life is put the kettle on and get the PG Tips out, honestly.

    Tea is Gods gift to man, I love it. That said, I love a coffee too.

    I only drink tea when hungover or if I have biscuits. Otherwise coffee all day. Not **** freeze dried stuff either. Good ground coffee.

    Pennard is a great course. Although I will say that it is very, very difficult and if you've never played it before, which you won't have of course, then it's almost unfair. Especially in summer when it's dry as the ball just ****s off all over the place with loads of blind shots.

    Amazing greens though. If you choose there then I'll try to come with you as I've played it many times.

    First drink of the day is tea for me. I'll drink coffee mid morning to early afternoon but back to tea if I have a late brew.

    Good coffee preferably though.

    You two can turn any thread into a discussion of golf courses!

    Will keep you posted. It's more expensive with that pennard in the package.

    I want to do somewhere with a spa in the hotel which isn't an option in the packages your way.

    Celtic manor is an option. We all ideally want to play somewhere picturesque and ideally full of welsh burds.

    Yeah, had a quick look and Pennard does push the price up. Do any of the hotels in the packages have a spa? The Dragon maybe, not sure?
    If I were you I would choose Clyne over Pennard just for playability. Still a really good course, just fairer. A mere up hill three wood from my house too!

    Celtic manor though, just the ticket. Although it would be a bit pricey in summer. Just don't play the 2010, play the other two.

    Dirty as **** Welsh birds in Newport too, oh yes. Cardiff also, just down the road.

    We're trying to sort out dates first then pick a destination. Which is the course by that beach I went to by yours?

    That's Pennard.

    Langland is cliff top too but not in the same league as a course. Hell of a lot easier though. I think that can be included in those packages?

    What site you looking on?

    Think the options were clyne fairmont, gower and pennard.

    Fairwood!

    I looked on a couple, one had Langland and Machynys also. No real need to throw those two in mind, the others are ample options.

    Bearing in mind all bar 1 person plays with a handicap of +20 which would be the best ones?

    Is it three and is Gower the definite? Throw Fairwood in as it's straightforward, although long, then I would pick Clyne. I think Pennard is too hard to be honest.
