Up to see the in-laws next weekend and am looking for a decent golf course just outside of Peterborough

Anyone know of any decent courses?

Not too expensive please

I would suggest either Orton Meadows or Thorpe Wood.
Both good courses, and decently priced.

Talking of Orton Meadows, I'm sure last night I typed out a huge story concerning a round of golf I had there.
What happened to it I wonder Neutral

Yep Ortons a nice old course, with a good 19th hole which serves good booze and cheap grub.

I played there yesterday, went round in 71, net 67 which is dead on par.

All this using 1920s hickory shafted clubs Mr. Green

I played bowls once, it was suggested to me that I take that up professionally.

Oh what could have been. Bit past it now, such a young man's game.

The club regulars, i.e. the old folk

Believe it or not, I have about 30 bowls trophies in the garage.
I used to play, along with 3 old mates in the village.
We started when we were 14/15, finished though when we were about 19 as the locals were slagging us telling us we were too good, and to bugger off out of it and go play somewhere else Sad
