The geo location gives so much slack approx 50 of my club can do it from their back garden easy peasy

What, have m'lud see peasants doing peasant things? Nah, m'lud wishes to remain in his bubble! :ROFLMAO:

What if you only have a private jet? Not very inclusive is it :mad:

I am on a committee, not one that decides dress code for the AGM tho! There is a movement towards loosening restrictions slightly, I have no doubt we will get there, we are a good club. The AGM is different to more 'traditional' restrictions IMO. Members clubs should represent members - even...

Yes. Not everyone has a jacket and tie - or one that still fits ;) There is so little need these days for the 'jacket, shirt & tie' - times have moved on. IMHO clubs that still insist on this at an AGM are just putting barriers in place to avoid opinions that don't match the status quo 🤷‍♂️

Agreed, this type of thing is rife. Its a constant battle at our own club, never mind when members are on their travels. Mostly new members at the younger end of the scale, but not exclusively. It's just too easy to to submit scores that *should not* count, with an over reliance on...

A quick reflection on what i've read - there seems to be a debate around Process (the ideal & perfect) vs Real World (very imperfect). Never (rarely) the twain shall meet, but both need to be acknowledged and understood to gain the full picture and get them closer IMHO. @wjemather - you must be...

I think my overall feeling is to move on. At 13 yr old let him just enjoy golf, those are huge sums (even if vouchers!) to be playing for at that age. Whilst you may be hardened to legalese and golf club politics, im feeling he may not be be and is likely just a bit stressful tbh. Do you both...

He sounds like a nob tbh, a 5 handicap but still can't take ownership of his bad shot? You did right - if you see him again, point out to him the following: Only a cretin hits a golf ball whilst the group in front are still in range. No exceptions, no excuses. If he takes a look inward, he...

Yes, perfect stylish attire (y) ......... :ROFLMAO: 🤥

Right that's slow play sorted, what next?

Yep. With this in mind would it be worth trialling 'breakers' in the tee schedule to reset so to speak 🤷‍♂️

A ridiculous bargain (y)

To a fashion it exists at my current club - we have members who regularly book in the first two or three slots specifically as they are fast players. I think it works for them as they are generally 'up with the larks...' sort of folk so all is good. Conversely I know another fourball that...
