Meeting new people with little or no money - Is it possible??

I absolutely love golf. I took it up properly when I gave up playing football and refereeing. I had a talent for it ( how arrogant does that sound :rolleyes: ) but stopped when I moved up here.

I should start again but it's finding the time and the money to do it....:mad:

It's nice to have wander around on a sunday day, but that's about it! Is golf expensive to play? I know the clubs are to join.

You should try to make time!

I'm trying to persuade myself it's a bad idea but am very tempted to try some lessons and see how I do.

Right about time to go and do some exercise.

Goodnight all

I really dislike golf on the grounds I am useless at it unless you mean proper golf.

If you want it hitting it a long way down a fairway like Tiger Woods and i fail miserably. If you want it round 2 right angles, through the windmill's sails and over a little bridge and I can do a hole in one every time!

:rotfl: , very good Boggles.

I meant normal golf. The last time I went to a driving range, I put my £2 into the machine to get out 40 balls to hit. Only at the very last micro-second did I notice the little sign that said "Please place your basket under the slot before putting your money in". That was it. I had 40 balls bouncing round at varying heights for ten minutes afterwards....:eek:

Lucy - it's quite expensive but there are bargains to be had. You can have a cheap round at Thornbury Golf Club on the 18-hole Par 3 course for a tenner at off peak times, I think.Clubs? I'd probably advise either hiring or buying a good second-hand set until you know you're going to play enough to make buying new worthwhile...

I just go to the driving range down the road from me, excellent place to waste an hour or so. :cool: Trying to hit the tractor collecting the balls or the man that does it. :cool: (again)

Hitting-the-tractor-driver should be a 2012 Olympic sport, methinks.:rolleyes: . When I was learning to play, the tractor driver parked his vehicle about 40 yards away in a straight line from me. I suggested he moved and he said "Why? I'm perfectly safe here!!".....

Machines? Bah, too posh. We just get given a wire bucket with ish 40-50 balls in. It's pot luck really.

Great place though, I fancy going this weekend, think I'll give my mate a call see if he is free.
