Chelsfield Lakes Golf Club

Advantages: Challenging but accessible course for mid handicappers
Disadvantages: Not hard enough for better players and not the best course in the area

...Chelsfield Lakes Golf Club 'A good walk spoiled' is how one man once described golf but he was obviously a fool as there are few better ways to pass the time than by playing this most majestic of sports. In my part of the world we are spoilt for choice when it comes to courses and there are ones to suit all standards and pockets. Chelsfield Lakes is a pleasant pay and play course that will satisfy most golfers from beginners to good players. Very low handicappers may not find it enough of a challenge but for us mere mortals it has more than enough to keep us interested without ruining our confidence. The lakes of the title is bit misleading as there are only two on the course. One is far to the left of the 16th and doesn't come into play but the other is large and runs between the 9th and 18th fairways and most definitely comes...

Review of Chelsfield Lakes Golf Club

Great golf clubs at a great price!

Advantages: decent clubs, very cheap
Disadvantages: the lowest iron is a 5 iron

...happy and couldn't quite believe that they cost just £57.99 and this included the bag too! I went straight to the local driving range and hit about 100 balls using most of the clubs and was delighted with them. I have since played about eight rounds of golf with the clubs and they feel great. The set is designed for novice / intermediate players and the clubs have enlarged heads to guarantee that you should hit the ball with more accuracy, which helps when you are just starting out. The set comprises of a 3 wood driver, a hybrid club which is the equivalent of a 2 or 3 iron, a 5 iron, 6 iron, 7 iron, 8 iron, 9 iron, pitching wedge and sand wedge. Of all the clubs I find the 9 iron and the 6 irons the easiest to use, with the hybrid club the most difficult - probably because it is quite long and this would emphasis floors in you're swing...

Good Golf Doesn't HAVE To Be Expensive

Advantages: Marvellous course and facilities. Very inexpensive.
Disadvantages: Not a lot.

...~ ~ You might be forgiven for thinking that golf here in Ireland has become an extremely expensive pastime over the last decade or so. Many courses, which were previously fairly accessible and cheap to play, have raised the price of a green fee to ridiculously high levels to cash in on the booming economy and the huge influx of tourists to the shores of the “Emerald Isle”. Even if you are lucky enough to be a member of a golf club, many clubs have acted in similar vein, raising their annual subscriptions to the point where you nearly need to take out a second mortgage to afford to play there. BRIEF HISTORY OF HOLLYSTOWN ~ ~ Back in the early 1990’s a few farsighted entrepreneurs foresaw the growing demand for golf at a reasonable price from the general public, and began to open “pay as you play”...

Review of Hollystown Golf Club

The tastiest wedges in the world!

Advantages: Yummy, yum, yum
Disadvantages: None

...We live on frozen food in my house as neither my husband nor I are great cooks. But, whether or not you eat a lot of frozen food, Iceland's Southern Fried Wedges should be a constant in your freezer as they are in mine. These are potato wedges in a southern style coating and they are the tastiest potatoes I have ever had in my life! They come in a dark blue plastic bag with the Iceland logo along the side and a big picture of the cooked wedges looking very golden and delicious. Across the centre of the bag is a yellow stripe and the bold letters announcing BIG VALUE PACK £1. Iceland tend to have this on most of their products just to encourage you to notice and buy their food even more as they are such great value. You may have noticed that the packaging I've described is different to that pictured on dooyoo, but seeing as the first...

Review of Iceland Southern Fried Wedges

Cheesy wedge

Advantages: tasteful, quick, healthy, great texture
Disadvantages: a little pricey

...I find Weight Watchers freezer meals to be quite appetising, and fancied trying the Salmon and Broccoli Wedge Melt after enjoying salmon sandwiches for the first time and taking quite a liking to the taste. Noticing that Asda had a deal on, with any '2 for £3' on their Weight Watchers meals, I decided this was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. You can either microwave your meal, or pop it into the oven. Usually I'd oven-cook, but I simply didn't have the time. I peeled back the clear film and popped it into the microwave for the suggested 9 minutes. The meal had only been in for no more than four minutes when the delicious cheese aroma filled my kitchen. When I retrieved it from the microwave after it had cooked, the smell was so powerful, incredibly appetising. Pouring the dish out of the plastic container and onto my...

Murder at the Golf Club

Advantages: Unusual but good well thought out story
Disadvantages: major characters were weak

...overheard discussing the murder in the locker room by Betty Russell some rime afterwards. She tells her husband Barry who tells her not to tell the Police. This sets of a chain of events that will affect the whole Golf Club and those involved in it in murder, mystery and intrigue. My thoughts on the book: I must admit I did enjoy reading this novel. I found it well thought out and certainly very different from what I was expecting. It was a good mystery that leads the reader down an avenue you would not expect, certainly when you read the summary of it. As a result of this at no time did I really know where the author was taking me but I enjoyed the trip. Having never heard or indeed read any of this authors books I really wasn?t sure what to expect and I must admit I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by her work. I found...

Review of Dead Centre - Claire Lorrimer

A Wedge Melt?

Advantages: Tasty, low fat microwave meal
Disadvantages: Very small portion

...Have you ever arrived home after a day?s work and queues of traffic feeling hot, tired and hungry? I?m sure you have and although generally I cook a meal for my family (or someone else has cooked it!) yesterday I was on my own and had to go out to a meeting, so decided to see what I could find in the freezer. I buy microwave meals for emergency use when people arrive home late at night and need a snack. I saw a steam chicken product and then spotted a salmon and broccoli wedge melt. It tickled my taste buds and so I decided to try it. Weight Watchers products **************************** Made originally by Heinz for people on diets I find these can be a healthier option as they are low in fat. I don?t diet but for those who do this product has a 5½ points value. These are found in the freezer section at the supermarket...

Review of WeightWatchers Salmon and Broccoli Wedge Melt

For Golf Nuts Everywhere

Advantages: Superbly edited and written. Full of interesting features.
Disadvantages: Blasted throw away adverts.

...on New Year?s Day 2008. So come 2008 lots of golfers will be running around with VERY expensive lumps of totally useless titanium in their golf bags, as the clubs will no longer be legal. (Not the mad cabbie, I?m glad to say!) ~ ~ Another interesting feature in this month?s edition is about ?lob wedges?. These are fairly new clubs with lots of loft that have been designed for use around the green for short pitch shots, with the ability to get the golf ball in the air very quickly, and land it softly on the putting surface. (Hopefully close to the hole. Heh, heh) These clubs are now seemingly being used more and more by the top players to replace the traditional ?sand wedge?, the club that is used by most golfers to hit a shot from a greenside bunker. (Sand trap) But as the bunker technique for the two shots (sand wedge and lob wedge) is...

Review of Golf World

Ideal Golf Clubs

Advantages: Cheap,easy to use and well made
Disadvantages: Not suited to all golfers. Not for the experts!

...OK, so by now you should know my new passion is golf. Golf is a game I always imagined old men playing with nothing better to do than while away their retirement coffers on expensive sets of clubs. Well, not true. In fact, players like Sergio Garcia and Tiger woods have done a lot to popularise it with the younger set. When im at my local driving range, it always shocks me as to how many children are playing. However, good golf clubs cost some serious money. A set of good quality irons will set you back many hundreds of pounds. Or so I thought. I managed to pick my set of Hippo Irons up for a grand total of $79 at Edwin Watts Golf Store in Orlando on my recent trip to Florida (www.edwinwatts.com) and I think it is the best £50 I have ever spent. Yes. £50. This is a £200 set of golf clubs so if you have a credit card, you...
