Not long ago I started played golf.
I'm wondering, do many people on this board play?
If theres a few, would anyone be up for a TWTD friendly golf tournament? |  |

I often ruin a good walk with golf, yes. |  |

Brilliant! Same here
I've not played as often as I used to since Covid, but keen to get back into it this year | | | |

I started playing last summer to get involved with the annual golf weekend between some uni mates I wouldn't otherwise see for years.
I'm shockingly bad, but between the fits of rage I do enjoy it.
Would like to play with mates more, as I do find it gets in your head as a single. I'd be up for it! |  | | |

I've played on and off for 30 odd years and I am bloody useless. Annoyingly the more I play the worse I get.
I haven't played for about 5 years and I doubt I will again.
Brilliant game though. |  |

Play at once a week at ufford, been playing on and off for 30years and kind of addicted to it these days . Now have handicap index of 13.8 which unfortunately only going in wrong direction since I joined ufford 2 years ago after being member at Fynn.
We always used to put a team in the ipswich golf days which were always good fun. | | | |

Yep I’m a keen golfer, and i think there might be a few on the forum given the long Ryder cup thread from a while back….. | | | |

Yes, I love it - look at me post here, but I played Royal Birkdale last week (got a lot luckier with the weather than this week!). |  | | |

Is that the one opposite The Unruly Pig?
I've played there a couple of times. I think my favourite was Purdis but I only played the 9 hole. More often than not we played at Alnesbourne Priory, I know it's probably a bit pitch and putt for you maybe but it was about my limitations. | |

I play a bit locally, but keep getting stuck on the hole with the Windmill, it took me 5 shots to get past the rotating arms last time |  |

Ahh, a good player then. I got down to 14 over a decade ago and am about 114 now. I’m looking to play a bit more this year. It’s a great, if frustrating, game.
While I play mostly in Kent, there are some nice courses in Suffolk, not that I’ve played too many of them. |  | | |

I started lessons in June 2021 and recently started playing 9 holes with an instructor to get ready for the full 18 in 2023. Not a member yet but hoping to join Rushmere next year. | | | |

I always thought Phil was taller, but looking at that picture he isnt even as tall as the golf flag | |

Sounds like it will be a while until you become competent enough to take on my favourite course, Pirates Cove on Great Yarmouth seafront. | | | |

I've recently joined St Clements off Foxhall Road, it's a nice 9 hole.
Building up the courage to do a full 18, but that might be a few months away!
It's a great sports, so long as no-one minds playing with bad golfers such as myself, I'm keen to do a small TWTD golf friendly. | |

I'd often wondered the same thing, so yes it would be a fun thing to do maybe in the summer. I play once a week on average, off 13.9 currently . As I'm Reading based, I play down here mostly, but grew up playing at Southwold. Did a lovely Suffolk trip last year and Played Felixstowe Ferry seniors open in 50mph+ winds, Thorpeness and Purdis Heath. I was really impressed with Purdis Heath, it made me think we should invite Gareth Bale to play it, perhaps he'd join ITFC when his Real contract expires. |  |

His jacket (not seen in that pic) has leather patches on the elbows too.
That confirms it, I think. | |

Looks nice enough, and cheap for new members. I'm North London based and memberships in my area are £900 - £1400, if they'll accept new golfers at all. I'm ok paying green fees for the odd weekend, but you miss out on the social side of it and it'd be nice to meet a few folk to go around with.
As long as I don't take home the wooden spoon for worst golfer in September it'll all be worth it. | | | |

Just started playing more regularly and joined Brett Vale. Have also played in the dim and distant past at Purdis and also the 9 holes at St Clements and Alnesbourne (lovely place to play on a summer evening). Love playing but so frustrating! Takes me about 100 to get round BV at the moment. Just got to stop the slice, the 3 putts, learn to get out of bunkers, and hit it further and it'll all come good....... | | | |
