How can they charge this much?!!

I love to travel to visit a golf course that is off the beaten track and this week I find I little gem of a course on the west coast of the Lake District, Maryport Gof Club is a real mix of landscape but with a view of the sea that never goes away.

right good morning everybody it was an early start for me i’ve got a three-hour drive and uh well we’re almost there it’s a little bit fresh the sun is shining and uh it’s a pretty glorious drive as you can see to a destination that I think is going to be worthy of featuring an off the-beaten track i just hope this sun sticks around for when I get onto that first tea i’ll see you there shortly [Music] hey a a [Music] Now everybody knows I will travel far and wide to start off on the first tea with a decent backdrop and it doesn’t get much better than that and it also looks quite tasty down that way as well that’s the first let’s see if we can get one away and then I’ll explain exactly where we are so I’ve just bumped into Bill on the first tea who’s the course ranger I believe bill is that right yes sir how long have you been a member at Mary Port over 30 years okay so and and tell me a little bit about this place what am I going to I’m stood out or were stood on side the first i’ll be honest with you if this happened here I wouldn’t be going golf and I back in would you really i like it here i love it here i mean it’s part of my life now yeah yeah and this is why I got to the age I am do you mind me asking what age you are we allowed to ask or would you rather not 91 in April are you really yes wow i think we both let off the the camera woman’s a bit surprised as well there really oh you’re doing well i’m doing well you’re doing a lot better than I am oh you’re looking all right that’s incred so do you play much then yet yeah about maybe three four days a week just something I do ah good for you uh just something to do good for you keeps shooting mischief absolutely yeah do you think we’re going to enjoy it this morning like I said we’re on the first green i enjoyed the first enjoy it and tell me a bit about what I think it’s two different loops of nine isn’t it are we sort of we’re on the coastal part you This is what they call the the along the shoreline okay here is the thingy land more like in land is it maybe more parkland yeah parkland well it’s great to meet you Bill yeah thank you for the warm welcome very nice if anybody does make their way up to Mryport then uh make sure you search out for Bill and I’m sure he’ll look out for you yeah no problems so with words of inspiration from Bill I set out to try and not lose a golf ball on the opening holes which are pretty daunting T-shots and little room for error i am concerned that my game isn’t great right now and I’m pleased that I reached T4 with the same ball as I started [Music] so the holes you’ve seen me play so far or at least attempt to as was the first three I had the luxury of being down breeze at least but uh they’re fairly tough fairly narrow and Bill guided me with some advice on which way I should go or not and then we crossed over the road we got to the fourth i met a couple of members who stepped aside and let me play a T-shot into the breeze without a bounds left road on the right and I Julie crumbled and lost the ball off the tea so so far it’s been a tough old start but I’m liking what I see [Music] so I’ve made our way up to the eighth and my second shot and it’s almost like a green that sits on the horizon and you see uh well what is those or we’ll call them mountains in a backdrop the other side of the water is in fact Scotland so kind of Southern um Cowoot all those golf courses are on the opposite side of the water but it’s a great little climb cuz you you come up the hill and then you see this flag awaiting on the horizon and like I said it’s very much almost like an infinity green but it looks superb and it’s a pity the sun wasn’t shining be right sit down oh that’s gone off the back end of the infinity green we’ll have our usual stop 15th hole an incredible view and backdrop as there is for most of it to be fair you go inland a little bit on I think I think think the hole six seven and eight maybe but predominantly you’ve always got that view in the backdrop so that’s something I really like and enjoy i just wanted to talk about people like Bill and subsequently someone who you didn’t see on camera Charlie who came out and said hello and also the two members that we met really sociable uh people uh but Bill in particular 91 years of age incredible character and it seems that sort of every golf course has got a bill of sorts and I think it’s really important that we kind of acknowledge how important they are to the club uh we should be a little bit more maybe appreciative of them so if you got a bill at your club then uh every now and again just go and buy my pint and uh say thanks e I chatted with a few more members after the round at Mary Poor and I can confirm this is a very friendly golf club is also a great place to play some golf with a lovely backdrop and at £35 to play Monday to Friday it is great value [Music] golf now this was probably the worst light we could film a golf course in my swing was in a darker place than the skies themselves however and I really struggled to get any sort of game going i couldn’t do anything right and we stepped up on the 17th T which is playing near 200 yards with a main road running at the back of the green and my feeble iron was more like into a [Music] layup but fortunately I had saved one put to bring it a glimmer of hope and a glimpse of a smile i’m just sorry we couldn’t show the course in some better light and I hope we gave you some sort of feel for how Mryport is but for me it’s one to return to someday and hopefully the sunshines and my game is also in a bit better order for now I’ll call it quits and I’ll see you next week [Music]
