  • Spyglass Hill at Pebble Beach – My day out

    I don’t know why I thought of it, but it struck me in the plane on the way over that like most US golf courses, I would have to buy a course planner for the courses at Pebble Beach. But then I caught myself and said, “Really, at $385 for a round at Spyglass Hill, […]

  • Saunton spring outing

    Finally, some good weather coincided with my availability over the Easter weekend to have a quick flit to Saunton.  It’s one of the advantages of having a Country Membership down there and living in Bristol.  In just over two hours you can be on the first tee cracking one away down the 470 yard, par […]

  • Closed season swing changes underway

    First lesson of the year this morning. Just about every Friday morning from now until the end of March booked in from 8am – 9am with my great coach Paul Mitchell (http://www.paulmitchellpga.co.uk/Staff).

  • Why I love playing at Saunton Golf Club

    So on Thursday I drove down to Saunton to attempt to play golf with some friends who were driving down from Surrey.  I say “attempt to play” as the weather forecast was awful, with it possibly clearing by around 3 or 4pm. I left Bristol at 11am and as soon as I was just past […]

  • A review of Saunton Open Week 2013

    Last year I decided to join Saunton Golf Club as a Country Member. It’s a course I’d played a few times before and one of the first golf clubs I went to in the year that I took up golf. So this year MrsG and I decided to go down to Saunton for the whole […]
