Hi,

 

I'm looking at playing Sandy Lane golf course in Barbados in a couple of weeks. The country club course, not the green monkey course.

Has anyone played there before, any thouhgts on the place if so?

I have 1 and 1/4" longer clubs because I'm really tall, and I'm a high handicapper so worried if I'm going to enjoy it and with rental clubs.

Don't want too hard of a challenge, and I'm taking my other half as a none player so hoping they'll let us get a slot where can get our own tee time if not busy, as the nerves of playing with someone will just wreck my game!

Cheers!

I’ve played The Barbados Golf Club and it was nice and less costly than Sandy Lane. It was really windy when we played there, but the course was not too hard either. Sandy Lane will have less wind because it is no the leeward side of the island.

Thanks @boogielicious will take a look into that course too, how was the difficulty?

I'm really worried about using rental clubs as I used a set in Indonesia and they were tiny in length and mine are really long, I thinned it around the whole 18 holes and hated the experience!!

Other than the wind, it was not a hard course and it may not be windy this time of year.  We went in February. Rental clubs were ok,  it you would be better bringing your own if you can.

I feel it's pointless as we're going for a 10 day holiday and I'm only sneaking one afternoon round in! Will just have to hunch over a bit with the shorter clubs :scared:

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
