    How Many Eagles Have You Had?

    About 10 eagles for me. I haven’t had an eagle since I joined my club, over 11 years ago, just aren’t many opportunities I probably only give myself a couple of eagle putts a year. I’m not counting my eagle from a few weeks ago when we were still playing a par 5 from a temp winter tee and it...

    How Many Eagles Have You Had?

    I’ll say an albatross is better, only because I’ve had one (on a par 5) but never had a hole in one. A hole in one on a par 4 would be a special type of albatross!

    Balls

    Chips must be really expensive in Mauritius. You'll be pleased to know they are still fairly cheap in the UK.

    Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

    That is quite expensive for member's guest rate. My course has upped the rate from £40 to £50 this year, which I think is too steep. I don't think it should necessarily reflect the visitor green fee, I'd like to see the guest rate around £30.

    Unwelcome playing parners

    I think you need to slice your tee shot into the trees. Ask him to help you look for your ball, deep into the woods, then when he's not looking a quick 4 iron to the back of his skull and he won't be troubling you any more. Best to plan ahead and dig a shallow grave in the right spot before you...

    Golf bag rain hood things

    No sniping from me. You're the one who stated the bag has a problem. Feels like you take 2+2 and get 5. PS: I thought my death star comment was under rated.

    Golf Random Irritations

    In the good old days, golf was for gentlemen, who would be horrified at the idea of having to go to work. They could play any day they pleased. Unfortunately, clubs had to widen their membership circle and sink to permitting middle class people to join. It may be uncouth, but lawyers, doctors...
