    Those wonderful golfers who criticise a 2 handicapper's golf swing on what is purely an entertainment video are just showing jealousy because they probably paid a fortune in lessons to get someone to tell them they'll never be as good. Seb played some great golf and you were both great to watch.

    What Guy said at 45.00 is a point we discuss regularly amongst my playing group at our club. We're mid-high handicappers and we often win our club Texas Scrambles comps and we put it down to this. 4x mid-high handicappers are much more likely to hit shots they can't always replicate than a low handicapper is to play out of their skin and hit shots they don't often hit. We think if there was a maximum team handicap in the scramble comps it would help this but we're often thought of as bandits because of this even though all of our handicaps are accurate.

    Re Guy's comment at 11.10 about Dunstanburgh being a bit remote, you don't need to travel far to find a range of lovely courses in the area such as Bamburgh and the two in Alnmouth; such a great part of the world.

    I did NOT expect that podcast ending. Kind of nice you guys can keep it light and keep it going with interesting topics.
    Have you guys ever consider discussing the topic of golf and value/cost in various countries? For example, I'm from Czech Republic, my parents got me into golf, but I now live in the US. The amount of money that the sport costs in Europe is lot higher than in the US, at least from my experience. Do you feel this leads to popularity differences and potentially why the sport still has a snobby appearance to others?

    I live in Alnwick which isn't far from Dunstanburgh. I used to be a member there, its an awesome course and for the price, excellent. It gets very busy with visitors, especially in the winter, when other courses are a soggy mess or closed. There are some very good courses not far from Dunstanburgh. Alnmouth Foxton, Bamburgh Castle, and Goswick Links. All are great courses with the cost of green fees still being reasonable, Goswick is probably the most expensive at around £100.

    My local Top Tracer is the other way around - says I hit the ball X distance but I normally hit it 20-30yds further on the course. The one I use has a hole that runs alongside one of the sides of the driving range, the tee-box is pretty much in line with the range mats. The range ball obv goes nowhere but corrected the distances still seem off.

    i live in Johnson City Tennessee and, yes, golf can be affordable to play. at a local public course operated by the city, Pine Oaks Golf Course, they have what is called "health imitative" play. for $10 U.S. dollars you can get in 9 holes. the requirement is that you walk. it starts after the last cart goes out for the day. this is usually 2 hours before twilight begins. they also have all day walking for about, i think $15. either of them is a good deal. most of the cost of any course goes into maintenance, keep tee boxes, fairways and greens pristine, a way i think can cut down on cost, in the long run, is too convert tee boxes and greens to artificial turf, no pitch or divots to repair to slow the rate of play. i would also get rid of raking the bunkers. anormal game of 18 with a cart is i think 28 weekly and 33 from Friday-Saturday and Sunday and on any holiday linked to a weekend. another good deal. private and members only courses will have to open up to the general public if they are to survive. this is one way to do it.

    My recipe for cheap golf...
    1- If you have a buddy with a membership and free guest passes...PLAY THERE!
    2- Never buy "new" clubs. Buy them next year on clearance. And if you look around there can still be fitting options for those clubs.
    3- Find an affordable non-premium ball that can suit your game and stick with it. Always look for sales on that ball and buy volumes when you find them.
    4- Assuming you don't have a buddy where you can play free golf then find 3 or 4 courses near you that have reasonable greens fees. May not be the best but are certainly adequate. Also, check in the clubhouse if they have days with reduced greens fees or in some cases they'll have days where perhaps you can "win" something. I have 2 course near me, both of them on Wednesdays have what they call casino day. You basically roll dice and can win anything from a free round or even apparel or balls. You always win something.

    Golf can be affordable but there are a lot of clubs up themselves in the UK charging crazy money for a round in 23. Living in Birmingham I'm surrounded by them.

Equipment hasn't really moved on that significantly and I still use clubs from circa 10 years ago.
