What did you think of it?

They have a decent winter rate but it’s a bit exposed that time of year, have always gravitated to the Open courses further up the coast

      It’s a boss course and was in great nick when I was there, proper links stuff. You’ll take your chances in the winter, same as anywhere, but that’s park of what make links golf. Be aware, they play it in a different order for the comps, The first aint the first when the TV cameras are in town.

          Links Golf is the only proper golf, and the elements are part of it. try and play as many as I can and was a member at Conwy.

          All that’s largely out the window now we’ve gone down to 1 leccy car, hence the 👀 on courses closer to home

              Was that not something of a hike for a regular game of golf? You’re near Manchester? No?

                  Went out about once a month, sometimes more in the winter.

                  Only an hour & 10/20 ish door to door.

                  Love the links

                      RichM I want to do a half marathon in under 2 hours this year. That’s my only goal

                      If you’re in reasonable shape, like you can run 5 km without walking right now, that’s easily achievable in 3 months.

                          303abuser I am confident I can do it, and planning 2 months training. I tried twice last year to do it but first time I didn’t run the fall distance!! But was on target for 1:55. The second attempt I didn’t realise it was a trail run so took longer as a result. I did that in 2:10.

                          3rd time lucky

                              RichM Yeah, you’ll be fine then, probably much faster than 2 hours if you put in some work. After I’m done a ton of endurance training this year, I may try for a fast 10k/half next year. I feel like I’ve got a 1:30-1:35 half in me, but I think the age clock is ticking on that one.

                                Hursty Sticking to badminton (twice a week) and tt (three times a week) for another year, still a bit intimidated to take on tennis, also my ego won’t allow for it with all the weight I’m currently carrying.

                                Probably entering a baddie tournie for doubles (with my landlord’s son who weighs 120kgs but still destroys me because he has an insane backhand smash) in a month or so. Coach encouraging after a year of classes with his, “Don’t worry sir, these will all be beginners.” lol.

                                TT coach thinks I can play Under 45 city-level tournies in about 6 months. Going to watch a state-level tournament next week.

                                    Love Badminton, used to play as a kid until Uni. The backhand smash was the one shot I could never master, to be fair any backhand shots are my achilles, all in the wrist as they say.

                                    As for TT, thats another top game, is it popular out there then, lots of leagues etc?

                                      Hursty Difficult shot for sure, barely any control and you’re also facing the opposite direction when you make contact. Ideally you should be running around it for the forehand, but when you’re desperate gotta play it. Mine just pops up and sets the opponent up for an easy smash.

                                      Yup, both TT and badminton, extremely popular professionally and for hobbies. There’s so much demand, raquets and gear for both sports are actually priced better in India, than Japan where it’s all getting made (Butterfly and Yonex). Having said that, it’s still not ingrained in schools which is predominantly football, cricket, basketball.

                                        Travel costs to suzza would be totes OTT during the cossy livs?

                                          a month later

                                          Hursty Quality. She’s probably about to do a winter running gear video when it’s above freezing and there’s no snow. That shit infuriates me. 😂

                                            The Jesus comment was good!

                                            Christ imagine ‘following’ her on social media. Your life that bloody vacant that you need to be ‘influenced’ by these twats
