BE Golfers...
Saudiflares had a great shout in another thread. How about a BE round?
Who on here (Ladies or Gents) plays golf?
Who would be interested in 9 or 18 holes as a group?
If you do play, your accurate or (like me) realistic handicap.

A swing at the Ranches may have a different meaning to some posters...

Handicap 16

Re: BE Golfers...
I would love to play 9 but I think I am not allowed atleast for another year.
Btw how expensive courses are here for non-members for a round of 9 lets say?
And how kitted up you need to be? i.e. what if one doesnt have clubs, do they rent it out for a round etc?

I play----ed before my back operation and was down to a very respectable 18 on my good days but I think 20 is a more reasonable number.

)9 or 18 - Whatever the consenus is although if you're going to go to the agg of playing may as well do 18....
Accurate handicap - 14.1 realistic handicap right now nearer 18.... For JGE Earth the slope rating means its playing about 4 shots higher that your handicap ie take your handicap add the 4 shots and that's where you should be scoring....

I agree with 18 over 9, but we can go with the general consensus.
JGE makes sense as you're a member = we all get it cheaper and you don't have to pay.

Re: BE Golfers...
husband played it last week for free, by way of being a marshall at the golf, he enjoyed it. You are right it is a total rip off but if that's the price then you got to pay it.

Re: BE Golfers...
Other option is the Faldo Night Golf - Resident rate is 1275 for a fourball (318 each) which is a good deal and I'm playing there tonight.
