Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Decided that I’m going to get myself fitted for new bats. Starting to take it serious again so might as well get myself prepared for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Planning on a wee equipment overhaul for next season. Fitting planned for next month for two new hybrids. But I fancy new irons too. Love the look of the Mizuno MP-18 MMC Irons. They look stunning. dummiesoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beith used to let single figure juniors play for handicap purposes. I think it is good for development. I would let them go for the club championship of they can qualify RFC RYAN 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Just finalised a deal for these beauties and for a steal into the bargain too. 4-PW, custom fitted shafts and custom fitted grips. Also including lie and loft fitting to tune them in. All for £699. Sold my Ping irons for £500, so a pretty good deal for £200.

My pro put me in touch with another pro friend who is a mizuno specialist. Guy is from Just outside newcastle. Between the two of them the fitting was done at Lanark, Skype call etc and all details sent over to him. Couldn't believe the price he quoted. It even includes the postage 😂😂😂 dummiesoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our course it’s 8 and under handicap you can play with the adults, honestly don’t know why all can’t play surely an 11 handicap junior is better than a 22 handicap adult. dummiesoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spot on mate. The biggest challenge is fucking stuck up members who don’t see the future of the club, instead they see what they think is their club.

Yip when I was younger 16–17 I got pulled up for hitting off the yellow tees at my course whilst out playing a bounce game with my old man and the course was empty. Lucky if you can get 2 three balls out when our juniors have their medal time. Bigsasasfloppyhair and dummiesoot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on budget mate but Dalmahoy is good option, 2 courses, range, hotel too. Murrayshall is a nice and again 2 courses. You could always go back to Drumoig and use that as a base with you playing courses round about, some great courses that aren’t far apart.

Funnily enough the two you mentioned I looked at earlier and thought would be a great shout. Maybe check out Murrayshall, no heard many people playing that.

One of the courses at murrayshall is longer. I’ve played it few times and in recent years they have always hosted the Scottish Schools Finals too. Ask to speak directly with ban events manager etc. When you sell it to them of an event, rooms, food, drink, golf you can get some decent deals if you barter 👍 ShanksRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
