Title: pitch & putt Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, May 29, 2005, 22:59:23 Anyone know any golf courses around swindon/oxford where I can go and play pitch & putt? I've got a friend staying who loves golf but I'm too crap to play a proper round and driving range gets boring after a while. We went to Carswell today and got told we weren't allowed to use the practice area, cunts!

It's a quid a ball there and they're shit balls Title: pitch & putt Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, May 29, 2005, 23:07:32 Quote from: "dave_m_russell" Coate Water, 18 holes for 2.70 That sounds awesome, do they have clubs to rent? Or is it a take your own things? Dress code?We go loads, it's ace 8) Title: pitch & putt Post by: DMR on Sunday, May 29, 2005, 23:10:21 Yeh you get a club (eg a 9 iron) and a putter for a 2 quid deposit that you'll get back if you don't break the clubs!
Take your own balls. Tees, scorecards and pencils are provided. Take your own clubs if you want, they don't care. Dress code, not at all, dead casusal. Jeans, tee shirts, trainers, hoodies, sandals, whatever 8) Title: pitch & putt Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, May 29, 2005, 23:11:50 There's also pitch and putt at Moredon considered more challenging than Coate and at Highworth....which is an interesting location if you like greensand scenery.

Title: pitch & putt Post by: DMR on Monday, May 30, 2005, 21:23:35 I'm not bad
Title: pitch & putt Post by: Boeta on Monday, May 30, 2005, 21:26:26 We played pitch and putt in Newquay and it was ace. I was pretty shit at pitching but awesome at putting (all that work done on the Weymouth putting green next to the beech when I was younger 8)). I think I finished 3rd out of 12, which isn't bad considering about 5 of the lads actually play proper rounds of golf.
