Golf Sidekick is good for the course management side. Bad Golf is quite amusing for a vlog.

Instruction wise, given most of them up nowadays as it can be a dangerous rabbit hole! Padraig Harringtons are good though.

I agree about watching too many instructional videos, I’m trying to keep it to Danny Maude & Chris Dennis for short game and putting .

Yeah think of all of them, Danny Maude or Chris Ryan are the best with the instruction videos.

Don’t think anything beats lessons with a decent local pro though. I’d picked up some bad habits watching too many vids and applying some of the ideas without really understanding my swing. I’m able to self diagnose a lot better now.

The flood plain for the Mersey, will take some recovering from. Do the club get any compensation for having the river diverted their way?

Didsbury flooded when the Mersey came over at Ford Lane before the sluice gates were opened.

Walmersley been shut for days too, booked in to be playing at Bury on Friday which is supposedly going to be a sunny day. Fingers crossed.

Walmersley is a tough walk, we played it about 3 years ago, is it the course with a wind turbine next to the green?

I’m sure you will know not far from Bury is Pike Fold, around 24 of us go there every year (not last 2) for the golf and beer festival, pint on arrival, golf, nosebag then beer festival at night with an artist, real ales £2.50 a pint, really good day and the members make us so welcome, my favourite golfing day of the year. Poster from three years ago attached.

Tough course Romiley, played it last summer, was in great condition, you should enjoy it there.

Did you know a member at Werneth called Pete Slate? He’s been there a long time, past Captain, about mid 40’s now, and a Blue.

Played Werneth years ago. The old pro from Birchwood Derek Cooper held the course record 57 I think.

I think you`ll love it at Romiley GC its a good course and the members seemed friendly when ever I`ve been in the bar.
