Thankfully i wasnt trying to be a muppet

They werent. They were off looking for their balls. I got it within 10ft of WHERE I WANTED IT TO GO, not within 10ft of them. It was close enough for me to be set up for my pitch onto the green when they found their ball and went back for their trolley. Thats when they realised how ignorant...

Thats the thing. I did wait, plenty. It was as if they were just practicing pitching from about 60-70 yds to the hole, missed and then went poking about for their ball. Leaving their trolley in the middle of the fairway. I hit my tee shot 100% no chance of hitting them. Walked down the...

Thats fair enough.

Havent been playing long so not sure of rules etc. TBH ive witnessed it before but usually its on the 16th tee at my local as its near the driving range. Members who have finished their range session politely waiting for a big enough gap to slot in to finish off the last 3 holes as a nice...

Sounds exactly how i use it. Had an absolute disaster at the weekend and how it was going to effect my 18Birdies (It didnt much) was a motivator.

Thanks for the replies guys. Playing at Carlisle Golf club. Loving it and the people have been spot on with me. Just proving to be a bit difficult persuading my pal who played last summer with me to cough up the money to join so its solo golf at present. Fully expect my handicap to be worse...

Thanks for that. So 3 cards to get initial handicap. Then what? Do i have to arrange to play with another member each time i want to submit a card? A lot of my play is solo. Not really that bothered about my handicap other than for personal improvement at present but if i do get a high...

Just starting out in golf (Since i got my first clubs in August) and on a budget until i decide which golf club i want to join annually. So far the membership i have taken in December is off peak, no voting rights and no handicap given type set up which is absolutely perfect for me. I am...

You guess correctly. If he had there would definately have been a hint of sarcasm

Well, i did meet up with a stranger but it wasnt the one i expected. Played on Saturday and i was supposed to be the only one at my tee time. Teed off and quickly caught up 4 lads playing. By the 3rd hole i had someone behind me also pushing to get a move on. I just said if he is pinging a...

Thanks for the advice. I am a bit of stickler for rules so i would normally go exactly as you said. Me and the pal i have been playing with sticking to the rules as much as we possibly could. It does become quite taxing but i am from a competitive background and breaking rules (in...

It was......

Thanks for the comments guys. All good and i was maybe over thinking it.

Thats what i was hoping. TBH i dont want to spoil someone elses round so was happy to be told a few do's & dont's
