Has anyone checked out www.virtualgolfsociety.co.uk ?

Lots of games listed all over the place!

Back from mallorca , any body playing golf over there must play at alcanada , great course and views .

36 holes to play on sunday , rain forcast , could be 0.2 back !

Anybody played at east sussex ?

no .... but playing Valderrama this coming Sunday

Where is alcanada fliper? Am going out this summer so would be good to know.
If you're going out again try and play in Camp De Mar, 30 mins from Palma, great course and fantastic views too.

North east of the island , check website (post 20 )

Fliper,

I played East Sussex a couple of years ago, two great courses although a lot to play them both on the same day!

May still have the course guides knocking around if you are interested?

Thanks Dave , yes course guides would help as i have 4 rounds there in july .

Fliper, do you want to email me you address and i'll dig them out and send them on?

Thanks dave .

Lots of golf coming up , hope the weather holds up !

"peoples' course" club championship tomorrow .... 36 holes medal ..... hope i play at least well enough to get my h'cap down a bit ...... shortish course but tricky, with hayfield rough

Off to North Berwick on Monday until Friday, can't remember all the courses, but the West Course and Gullen 3 are part of the programme. Hope it isn't as windy as last year, double bent flag sticks, golf bags blowing across fairways like tumbleweed.

try Gullane! .... have a great time; it's a lovely part of the country

That's the badger, Gullane 3. Did Gullane 2 last year so will be interested to note the differences or otherwise. Had a great time last year, so looking forward to it again; although 6 or 7 rounds in 4 and a half days will take its toll, followed by a Pairs comp at the home course on Saturday!
