Cheers pal. Been going to Llandudno playing golf for the last 5 years or so . We managed to re arranged our cancelled trip and played North Wales golf club in September . Love that course,We had a great meal at the cottage , nice food & good pub . Also been in a Italian a few times ( upstairs ) .

Try Carlo's (Italian), Osborne House and The Sea Horse if you've not tried them before.

Which course did you play, Americas, Europa, Asia ?
Go there most years. Photo incoming.

Been there twice in September/October and I’ve never seen rain like it.

I normally go to the Algarve now. Monte Rei, Pinhal, Faldo and the Quintas

TBH, I haven't got a clue now. It was a long time ago, back when I could play a bit! I don't think it had been open that long but we've met some varied and interesting people in both Spain and Portugal.

Any recommendations for a set of irons? I'm a left hooker who played a bit as a kid, but usually on the range. Never really found the time as an adult so have never bought a decent set.

Was using the range before Xmas with the extra flexibility of WFH, and caught the bug. It's something I'd love to pick up as a genuine hobby going forward. Don't want to have my pants down in the shop by a salesman, or buy a gash second hand set online. Any recommendations and ball park figures greatly appreciated.

Ha! I love playing snake. My home course has enormous undulating greens and three putts are common — especially from above the hole where you can three putt with a four-footer to start — so we often have a regular snake bet. I haven’t played rake before; that’s a good one. We do play barkies (par off a tree) and splashies (par from the water, worth 2x) along with sandies, and greenies on the par 3s. I like these games where one good or bad shot can win or lose you money along with the usual Nassau. The high rollers play Daytona; I like Wolf best though it slows the game down. I still marvel at how you all in the isles get around regularly in three hours and it always takes Yanks 4.

Love Ulverston great closing holes and great views on a nice day. A bunch of us used to go to Seascale and play 54 holes but always did 18 at Ulverston on a Thursday on the way up. Well and truly knackered by Sunday afternoon.
