Been down to 10 years ago but was playing at longhirst so when I went wayward you didn’t get punished ,

Never had a lesson either

You’ve done well to get down to ten without lessons but I’d definitely suggest you have some. Simon at Sharpley is very good I’d recommend him to any golfer of any standard. He’s more of a coach than a textbook teacher though.

Nah I haven’t but I’ll add it to the list for next time what’s the weather like over there at the moment ?

Who do you go through for green fees?

Been about 20 today and slightly breezy. Bloke called Juanfran at golf525. Gets good rates and decent tee times.

Beware the Scandies are arriving again, so if you don't want 5-6 hour rounds, I'd get out as early as possible!

Green fees Murcia | Golf 525 Murcia

puerto de la duquesa is great and the courses around there are top quality. I played both San Roque old and new as well as los arqueros, the last time I was down there.

Don Julio very good course, de quesa itself has new owners but potentially very good, for a quick 9 holes casesres golf canny and if you can get mates rates the world class finca cortesin is different gravy.

I'm based in Catalunya so I've played quite a few of the courses in the area. The Lumine complex in Salou is where I play most summers, and it's great, 2 completely different 18 hole courses and a 9 hole course. Obviously PGA Catalunya Stadium course is a must play, as well as the Tour course. I played Parador el Saler near Valencia 2 weeks ago, fantastic course too.
