Regular readers will know that my golf game is inconsistent! Today I came across a website that has a unique Golf Swing Test This golf swing test was created to see if us golfers have a single swing fault that is stopping us from hitting the ball further, straighter and more consistently. (That last word caught MY eye!)

Apparently if you have this one swing fault it could be costing up to 50 yards in distance.

So I took the golf swing test and the result was very enlightening. If you are looking for some improvement in your game you can also take the test here:

I heard the new clubhouse opened at the weekend. Has anyone used it yet and can confirm it really is open?

3 weeks ago it was ready and as much as I enjoyed a cool beer overlooking the practice range in the warm evening sun sitting on the old veranda I’m looking forward to what, hopefully, will be a great clubhouse that stays open and serving food until later.

I guess the temporary clubhouse will be on the move again very soon and for a short while the area will look strange while the range is extended.

Nobody has been able to tell me what is planned there – more open bays? or something grander.

I’d love to hear from you with any news or indeed a review of the clubhouse if you’ve tried it.

For those with a desire to play the best courses Monte Rei is a very short trip across the border into Portugal.

2 Championship Courses – the first now open and the second still in design stage.

Jack Nicklaus designed, Monte Rei features 5 beautiful blue lakes and over 7,200 yards of glorious golf set amongst the dramatic hills of the Eastern Algarve.

Although certainly not cheap at (currently) euros 150 a round, for any serious golfer a round at this prestigious club must be a high priority when staying at Costa Esuri.

For full details visit the impressive website – Monte Rei – but note that a handicap certificate is required – maximum 24 for men and 32 for ladies and soft spikes must be worn. Mind you, I can’t imagine a hacker wishing to pay that level of green fee!

Clubs are available for hire and a brilliant club house awaits after the golf.

I don’t know if any of you are from Belfast but regardless I thought I would see if I can help a friend of mine raise awareness of a site he has created to help people who have gone missing.

Obviously, the Madeleine McCann story has brought this into the public eye recently but it’s sad to say this is not an isolated occurrence.
