I’ve been watching a lot of Rick Shiels stuff on Youtube recently. Really enjoyable Crail is now on the bucket list Also inspired after seeing Hendrik playing Gullane, i played there many years ago, i decided it was time to hit some balls today I wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Just a basket at Morley
I’ ve sorted out my new membership at Mickleover. Start April 1st
Got a few opens arranged too. Looking forward to playing at Sherwood Forest. Also going back to Beau Desert, which is in my Top 10 of courses played
Not at all sad but i counted up the courses i’ve whacked a ball around the other day. 121 in 7 countries
Ha, I think today was the first day I've not been to Morley's range in over a month.
I've tried a few other local Ranges, but Morely seems far & away the best equipped, & I can also get a coffee & a bite there if I want.
I bet you can hit it through those Rugby Posts? I always seem to be surrounded by players absolutely crushing their drives. And I'm there hitting it about 180 max, lol.

Yeah, when i hit my 7 iron well
It is quite good there and as you say it’s decent for a coffee and food As a member at Horsley i just went there but Morley is definitely better

ok challenge accepted, i am such a saddo i will count as many as i can remember, it will take me a while but i will come back with the number
Might take up that challenge too, don't think I'll be in as many countries as 7 but would be surprised if I'm less than 121 courses; @HENDRIK62 will be well above that I'd have thought though.
Incidentally both Crail courses are excellent and well worth a visit, as are the 3 at Gullane; I'll be down at Gullane 2 on Good Friday for the annual works outing although I much prefer Gullane 1 which is top drawer.

Okay, did a count (had lots of time as got knocked out of everything really early)
I have map of all the courses in Scotland so that was a bit easier, but I am sure I have missed some in other places, my memory has become ridiculously bad So far I have
Crail is one of the nicest places I have ever been to. 1 of the golf courses is one of the oldest in the World.
Which reminds me:-
And the Scotsman says to God:-
"This can't be right. You are supposed to be a fair God. But you have given us the best golf courses, the finest whisky, great views, proud people. How can it be fair, that you have given us all this?"
God: "It is fair. Just wait until you see what neighbours I have given you."
I can't remember how many courses I have played at, I gave up at age 27 so it wasn't many, I did play a lot in the rough around the courses though, does that count?

And I didn't even know you had a daughter
It doesn’t normally come as early as the beginning of February
Flopped sets in my first two dyms and lost
Had a few ridiculous ones and bust a few mtts in silly fashion
Was in for £240 which is a lot for me now
Had a nice Aces v Kings at cash and played £16.50s and £22s which i normally l leave these days
Ended up £3.66 up on night
Feels great
..
I did spill a can of peroni all over the sofa though. I made Melissa clean it up as i was 10 tabling
She is unhappy
Does £3.66 get me some flowers?
Only if they have Orange Stickers on at Co-Op ......... after 6pm
WELL PLAYED on making a £.££profit though mate
Crail is now on the bucket list

I wonder how many @HENDRIK62 and @MISTY4ME have played?

I think we have a winner.

It was Malkins bank near Sandbach in 91, I just wasn't suited to the game
121 in Scotland
2 in England
18 in Spain
13 in Portugal
So a grand total of 154 in 4 countries; not bad but not quite @HENDRIK62 -esque!
That’s some going
Anyone would think you played for a living
Looking forward to it even more now
I’d bet i’ve missed one or two somewhere but i’d still get nowhere near that
You probably have missed the odd one as well.
Those countries too for me plus Wales, Ireland and Tunisia
You’d be well placed as well as Neil to recommend for Scotland then for next trip
