Excellent update Paul. Forum Diaries got a bad press for a while in some quarters, no idea why, I've always enjoyed the insight they gave into people's lives & minds.
"Track man at Morley Hayes golf is amazing and costly, It’s so addictive."
It's both of those things, then some. Instead of going 3 times per week, I go almost daily now. Plus, they've hiked the prices up considerably. I mean, it's great value for the analysis it gives us, but a 90 ball basket @ £8.50 seven times a week comes to real money, without even counting juice for the car.
Here's the current price list at Morley Hayes. Pretty sure that when Trackman was installed the prices went up 30%. ;
That's a bargain. These are the prices where I go. Ball Prices 100 Balls - £12.00 75 Balls - £10.00 50 Balls - £8.00 25 Balls - £6.00

All fees include use of TrackMan Range.
Interesting I think before trackman the prices were about £3.50 for 30 and a fiver for 60. I think it’s worth paying the extra though. Guess there has to be a limit to how much they charge as you’re getting close to a green fee before long
I get so bored at driving ranges, always go with the best of intentions, hit a few wedges, build up through the irons to hitting full shots; then after about 5 wedges I just pull out the driver and try to mash it over the fence at the end of the range.
Any practice I do has to be on the course, otherwise I just lose interest unfortunately.

Have you used a Range that has Trackman? It certainly makes it more interesting, as it generates stats galore for every shot you hit, club by club.
No, not yet; I think one of the ranges relatively near to me (Kingsfield, near Linlithgow) has trackman bays and that would probably pique my interest a bit more; I'm actually up there playing a league game for my club on Friday so if I have the time I'll have a look. If nothing else it will provide more accurate carry distances for each club as, in my experience, most amateurs over-estimate how far they hit the ball.

Yeah that was always the case for me too This definitely changes things as I can now see exactly how far clubs are going . I agree about the over estimations. The amount of occasional golfers who i speak to at work who can apparently hit their driver 300+…

Kingsfield prices make tikay and jac35's driving range seem real cheap. Nice facility though and the course is a good 9 holer.

Aye, doesn't look the cheapest! Haven't actually played the course before, although I've been at the range quite a few times, heard it's decent enough though.
The PGA seems to be hotting up nicely. Brute of a course and i don’t think anyone’s really out of it. Very easy to put a big number up on a hole with just one mistake. I wonder what a 5 handicapper would go round in?

Just turn the poker off & watch this City - Real Madrid game, it's a delight to watch.
2 half decent teams
It’s almost like watching Derby under Jim Smith

As this thread seems to have a few golfers reading & posting regularly, who do we fancy for the PGA?

After all, we 3 are blessed to be blues.
