That’s right DC did hold the record but I think it might of been the old 9 hole course before it was extended to 11 holes . There used to be a great old school Pro at WL called Tony Bacchus. At one time he was the longest serving Pro in the U.K. . He’s retired now . Lovely fellaPlayed 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 member seem friendly when ever I`ve been in the bar.
He was and still is very good mates with my step lad. He used to come on our bus to the match. I had a minibus and Executive car a few years ago. I took Pete, his wife, his mate and his wife to the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor on the Friday. It absolutely pissed down all day, with tickets, my fee, food and drink the day cost them about a £1k and they saw 8 shots. I felt sorry for them so bought them beers for the journey home.Yea know Pete , when he first joined he was winning everything and was nick named Golden Balls . Nice lad .

Yeah, it is a tough walk and yes it’s the one with the wind turbine. I love the course, nice and quirky. It was a toss up between there and Pike Fold for me joining, but I just find Pike Fold a bit too easy, can spray it all over the place and get away with it. Plus I’m led to believe it struggles like fuck with drainage with being so flat. That said, the day you mention sounds a good shout, I’ll consider doing that if it’s on this year.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.
It’s on, yes, they’ve not put it on the site yet, usually around March when they announce the date.Yeah, it is a tough walk and yes it’s the one with the wind turbine.

I enjoyed Walmersley, I take it from your post the Course drains well.

Few holes that struggle, the 3 across the motorway bridge for example, but they just get closed. 2 holes been closed all winter for drainage works too. There’s usually some form of 9 or 12 hole loop available which has been fine for a knock.It’s on, yes, they’ve not put it on the site yet, usually around March when they announce the date.

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.
Maude and Ryan are decent, the better ones seem to be in the states athletic motion golf and Monte Scheinblum are excellent.

Danny Maude bores me to tears.
