Anyone for golf?
Discussion
I was a beginner you can hire the clubs there. Also they have a par3 course to which you can wear jeans and trainers not the fancy check tweed trousers for 9 holes.
The course is very up and down

Hmmmm...
I've tried playing golf on a course twice before and both times I was next to useless. Put me on a driving range and I can slug a ball as far as the eye can see but my accuracy leaves alot to be desired.
Last time I went to a driving range at Foxhills I managed to kill a squirrel..
I think it's time I had a few lessons.

Posh bugger!!!! 
Not as posh as you might think!
I'll explain when I see you next.
I took up Golf 18 months ago. Best advice I can give you is get lessons. It's spectacularly unintuitive. When you are starting out, and are consequently useless, you need a nice friendly course that is
For a course for the beginner I can recommend the Basingstoke Golf Centre. Unlike some nine-hole par 3 courses that are attached to a larger club with an 18 hole full-size course the BGC has only the one little course. Which means they keep it in tip-top condition. Some of the pitch and putt places attached to larger courses I have been on are clearly an afterthought and are little more than some badly kept greens in the middle of a mown field. The BGC is better than that.
After 18 months and a LOT of lessons and practice, including being a member of a super "half-size" club (holes up to 200 yards) I am on the cusp of being able to enjoy myself on a full-size course.
Teaching old dogs (43) new tricks is hard.
- short
- doesn't have lots of hazards

I have tried to get a group together for a game. I have only been playing 18 months, and have played several of the pay n play courses around Woking with work, and have just jointed up at Billingbear, which is a great pay and play, with a long course and a challenging par 3 9 holes.
Anyone want a game sometime, I can do most weekends, but after work is a little tough to arrange right now.
Emma, fancy arranging Wycombe Heights some time? I play at a sister site near Woking that is great, with an 18 hole Par 3, a longer 9 hole course, and a full 18 if you are any good (i.e. Not me!)
