I don't really get it. I'm more than happy as a retired git to play at 10 or 11....but people just won't give up their prime time tee times.

What??? So.....somebody using a computer to log on for a tee time, when some old fella who doesn't use a computer (yes, they are out there) is selfish and arrogant? Are you against a new driver because you can hit it 20yds (possibly 50 miles) further? The world moves on....whether I like it or not.

The game is coming back, which I really appreciate......but now that I'm playing at my first club again I'm winning the money......and I feel a bit guilty. Today, solid 36pts playing off 6. But....one of those strange things...I've won a couple of times with 30pts because everybody else has a...

My rollups are competitions as well.....but not really. I think the ladies just schedule these millions of comps to justify their blocking the course for that period of time. I don't really have a big complaint about it at all, most Tuesdays around that 10am time are pretty quiet.....although a...

Yep.....sounds like a pretty regular ladies morning. As mentioned elsewhere.....they call them comps, but it's every Tuesday for clubs around here.

And....? Did they hurry up? Seems like I should be singing something from Grease.......like.....does he have a car?

Yeah....that's what our course has.....blocked out times for ladies days......every Tuesday. EVERY TUESDAY. They call them comps.....and continue to do so. It sounds like you might have more blocked out times than you indicated.....

You don't have a ladies section that gets a slot? Opens? Business days or charity events? Junior events? How many comps do you have?.....at the course I am leaving there are way too many blocked days where we can't play and have to use another course if we want to play. There are a LOT of large...

I just recently bought a gps cheapie wristwatch for the days that are foggy (Saturday I needed it) or rainy and messes with the laser. I occasionally check both when they are working......the gps screws the distance up a LOT for me. I find the laser a lot more accurate......I might just have a...

Who decides what is fair? I don't think it is "fair" to have a Tuesday morning blocked off for just the women's group. I don't think it is fair to block off whole Saturdays for comps. I don't think it is fair to have large blocks of times reserved for visiting parties. I can go on and on with...

This is how I see it. I just don't like having to do it. It's only bad at one of the clubs I play at.....the others less so. I'm more than happy to play at 10 or 11....or even a little later during the lighter months but getting other people to do so isn't easy. As I've said many...

The club I've just rejoined is horrible for this. The 2 rollups days (Wed+Sat) are tough to get the prime times for...in this case about 9am. I have to set my watch for 5:55pm so I can go and sit at the computer in time....I hate it. At some point I might try to get them to back off a little to...

18 holes open at Knaresborough today....but only 8 people show up for the rollup. Decide to just play for a Pound on the best card in each group. Jeez....I can't hit anything. 7 pts after 6 holes.....swing change gets me to 13pts for 9 holes. Then.....when I really suck, I just try to get 30pts...

Haven't played since last saturday. Tomorrow one of the courses will be shut, the other has put out a notice the comp is off, but likely to get 9 holes open carry only.....just hoping the other course makes it open. They've been getting open more than the other courses this winter. I think the...

Finally got around to watching Deadwood:the movie. Solved some questions, left some questions unanswered.
