    Like the title says, how far do you live from the club you play at? I'm just over 4 miles away from my club.

    Lucky you! I'm 24km from mine. It only takes me around 25 - 30 minutes so it's not that bad. Would love to play in Powerscourt as it's 12 minutes door-to-door from home.

    About 4 or 5 miles away takes 10-15 mins to get there.

    When I was younger and living at the parents, the golf course was behind the house opposite! Oh how I miss that

    I actually spotted two courses from the plane but the only one I've seen in person is beside the Ajax Arena.

    I miss golf. It's a terrible ******* of a game but I miss it all the same.
