My sand iron is in a farmers field left of the 10th tee at west chiltington, thanks to someone ringing a bell on my downswing. Thats about 20 miles from home.

12 miles to Oultoon Hall...50 miles to Mottram hall...83 miles to herons reach...109 miles to slaley hall...117 miles to Belton woods....ETC

Apparently if you are a member of one de-vere course you are a member of all..we played Slaley Hall last week for free..it was very nice. next I think we are gonna try Herons reach.

My homecourse is 18 miles away from home, but A roads all the way so about 20 minutes drive. Luckily its about 12 from work so only a 15 mnute drive so can easily get a few i in the morning or afternoon.

I'm a de vere memeber too, so I get free golf at 10 UK venues and discount green fees at the carrick in loch lommond. As I live in Stoke On Trent I have 3 venues that 4 courses in cheshire <50 miles i can play when I want. Played Carden Park yesterday for free good venue shame my golf ruined the day

Sanders? Why have you been banned from your local driving ranges? 

Ray, it is because the driving ranges are fed up with him clouting the ball over the end of the range.

We all know you are a good guy, Ivan, but you still smack the ball way too far for the driving ranges of today.

Ivan our range by us has a 280 yrd diagonal distance with a high net and 60 foot trees behind that . Beyond there is 9 hole pitch and putt, Glazier would clear all that and land the other side of the course approx 360,370 yrds. There is no one on the course being late evening and in darkness.The range owners wern't entirely happy there either but the balls were collected first thing in the morning by the ball collectors,me being one of them on occasions.

My home club is 9.7 and my second is 5.2miles

I have 2 within a 5minute drive, although the one I play most now is further and is a 45minute drive away.

 

I have 5 within 15-20minute drive which is lucky

my home club is about 8 miles away, about 10-15 mins away depending on what way i go.

 

the other club i play at is about half the distance but takes about the same amount of tim as i have to go right through the middle of town!
