  1. Was just wondering if anyone is a member of Beauchief golf club? just put in my application for membership but I don't actually know anyone who is a member and was told they would try to introduce me to some members at a meeting all new applicants go through, however I am currently off work for the summer so was wondering if there are any members few to play with me so I can get my handicap sorted.


  2. cheers, didn't know that about moorview. Will have a look next time I am up there as I am sure they have something up about it. When I was up moorview on monday I got a slip for a new membership card and it has a note on it about a putting green and short game area that they will start development on in the spring.

     

    Went Pete Cowans today, nice looking place. good mats and decent balls and they all seem friendly. The actual range area itself seems a bit confusing to me though due to all the markers and flags that they have out on it but that a very minor grievance.


  3. my plan to play every day fizzled out however I did play Beauchief this morning. Went up by myself and joined in with 3 Veteran regulars who have played up there for years. Was nice being told the ins and outs of the course and really enjoyed the round and the company as they were top blokes.

     

    couldn't believe how busy the course was but was impressed with the standard although parts of it seemed a bit wet. Views are fantastic mind.

     

    Couldn't get a hang of the greens though, kept hitting breaks that didn't seem to be there although my putting is easily my weakest point.

     

    Ended up scoring 109 which I am fairly happy about at this moment in my game as I am not the greatest player within 100 yards of the green, hit some good drives and had 10 holes of 1 over, ruined myself on the 10th and 13th where I got a 9 and an 11 after some horrendous play


  4. bit random but people on here seem to know sheffield better than any tour guides or information site and I couldn't find anything helpful using the search feature.

     

    I am looking after my folks dog and am looking for somewhere to take him at the weekend for a decent trek. We have been going to Meersbrook park at the minute as its close by but usually need to do a few laps of the park to even begin to tire. Is there anywhere bigger thats dog friendly and interesting to walk?


  5. finally going to get round to actually playing a course in Sheffield next week during my hols. What's considered the easiest of the 4 council run courses? and is there any others less than about 18 quid a round I should check out? am going to try and play a different course ever day from Tuesday-Saturday


  6. Cheers Wroughton, thats certainly helpful perspective. I have started working in a school recently so have the summer holidays off and my early plans are to try and play at least 3 times a week as I made myself a challenge of finally getting a handicap this year after shooting under 100 for the first time last season and being told I have the potential to be a decent golfer if I would only concentrate on my short game (which I have now)

     

    I haven't heard of college pines but I am going to look into going out and having a round at Lees hall to see what I think and how I get on.


  7. Who would join a club and pay min, £450 to play 1 course when you can have a Golf It membership and play 4, for the same price. If you have please do not contact me for a round, you nmust be thick.

     

    Its a private course where as I have had troubles in the past on Municipals in terms of slow play, people not repairing divots, being threated for not being best pleased at being hit by an errant drive that didn't come with a yell and having the audacity to be annoyed by this as the person came to get there ball. I have not played any course in sheffield and having heard the SIV run ones can get busy merely wanted to know what Lees hall was like. I thought maybe a members course is more likely to be treated with respect by its players. Also I am interested in getting involved in a society or team and haven't seen this offered by the golf fit scheme courses, as like yourself I don't have anyone to play regularly with since moving to sheffield.

     

    I would have taken you up on your offer on the last page where you posted your mobile number but am too thick to use my phone

    I can't find any more information about it and only old links on the older parts of the Siv websites I have found through google searchs. However I met a few guys at Moor view who played in last years so it obviously still goes on.

     

    I think its usually at beauchief so may be worth asking up there? I have never actually played any course in sheffield since moving here in 2005 as I have never had anyone to play with but am going to go down next month and play a round or two by myself before I commit to the monthly payments. It is a fantastic deal and I have the whole summer off due to working in a school so would like to be able to use the gym and swimming pool at my leisure.

     

    was meant to play with a chap off here last year but my old job kept getting in the way


  9. Hi guys, I am looking for a saturday team, I have seen quite a few others with posts on here looking for teams so thought I would try my own.

     

    me, I am 24, 6 foot and have played mainly striker or just behind the striker at 11 a side.

     

    I haven't played 11 a side since school however I now want to play again. Can anyone help? I have no idea about leagues or standards in Sheffield. Alot of my friends from school now play non league and I can still hold my own against them at 5 or 6 a side.

     

    I can't train on mondays or tuesday due to work and don't really want to play sundays as I also play american football.

     

    cheers
