That's where they hold Turkish open is it not?
Played the International at the London Friday shot 88 playing best netting 43 point in the process. One very happy birthday round4 -
Just googled it and it says it's at the national which is a 15 minute drive from my hotel. I'm off to vilamoura next month with mates for 2 days of golf but have put the feelers out to them to come back to belek in 2027.0

Ive been playing golf for about 2 years now and absolutely loving it!
Been playing some great Courses here in Melbourne on the sandbelt and Up in Qld where a mate of mine lives.
Hit my best score of 91 at Sandy Links which was the old home course of Geoff Olgilvy, winner of the 2006 US Open.
Im playing 18 holes once a month since my Baby was born, playing again on Sunday.
Here's a vid to get a feel for it - I must say, it's fantastic.

I have been playing golf for 50+ years and am totally shite at it but still keep going back for more.
Why?
The divot goes further than the ball......
Played last week and I reckon I was no better than when I first started.
Can't blame getting old - I've always been shite.
But I think it was Ronnie Corbett who said "as I get older, I get fatter, so when I put the ball where I can see it - I can't hit it, and when I put the ball where I can hit it - I can't see it"!
Ah-well. I will keep trying........4 -
Played Laguna is Vilamoura yesterday. Lost a shit ton of balls in the water and struggled. Playing millenium today so less water thankyou please.0

I’m up for a ‘CharltonLifers’ golf day if others fancy it. Orpington based here so Chelsfield and Lullingstone are my nearest public courses but open to suggestions. Been playing for 40+ years but still a 20 handicapper as only play about 4-6 times each year.1

If you watch Youtube golf videos you'll enjoy this one. My grandson paired up with Nick Voke and Luke Kwon for 9 holes after a not very well acted out "chance" meeting.

I watched a great golf video on youtube last week about a special golf day over Princes, St Georges and Cinque Ports. 54 holes to commemorate when Walter Hagen came over from the US to play the Open and did the same holes over a composite course.
Really good video & shot very recently. I've played all 3 courses & would have loved to have had a crack at this event.1 -

I don't play golf at all, well I tried about 15 years ago for about 6 months, but I wasn't very good but I've found watching Rob Beckett's Let's Golf You Tube channel compelling viewing. Especially when he shouts prick at the ball after he mishits it. I find that quite comforting from my own memories of playing!
Anyhow, I've found myself walking back and forth up the driveway at Cherry Lodge most days while I wait for my daughters to come out of school, they go to the school opposite the entrance. Does anyone play there?0 -

Yeah, I didn't particularly enjoy it in all truth. Tried it, didn't like it, moved on.bobmunro said:JohnBoyUK said:I don't play golf at all, well I tried about 15 years ago for about 6 months, but I wasn't very good but I've found watching Rob Beckett's Let's Golf You Tube channel compelling viewing.

I saw Rob Beckett on Sky yesterday when they showed the Pro-Am from Wentworth. He came over as very knowledgeable and highly entertaining around golf.JohnBoyUK said:I don't play golf at all, well I tried about 15 years ago for about 6 months, but I wasn't very good but I've found watching Rob Beckett's Let's Golf You Tube channel compelling viewing.

Also, if anyone else watched the coverage of yesterday I don't know if you were surprised as me to find than Anton Du Beke is a scratch golfer (actually plays off +0.4) and is a member at Wentworth.
As for Cherry Lodge. Played it a few times over the years, notably when there was a burnt out car behind a par 3 on the back 9. Good track but not played it in years.
