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 323 - Opposite of yesterday, focusing more on taking a full backswing than anything else.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
