Settling into the new job nicely, General Manager collared me as I walked into the showroom on Friday.
"Hey Rob, do you remember I mentioned a company golf day to you. Do you fancy playing in it? It's on Sunday August 7th. £30.00 includes coffee/bacon roll, 18 holes and a light lunch afterwards"
"Yeah ok" says I. "Put me down for it"
"We need a £5.00 non refundable deposit" he says, so I quickly whip out a fiver and give it to him.
"By the way, where is it?" I enquire.

"WELLSHURST" he replied.



The worst bloody golf course I have ever played.
I'd rather play at either Lydd or Boars Head.

I sense a career opportunity. Why not be up front about your reservations, take on the organisation of the golf day and rearrange it at a better location? If you think its a poor course, chances are others will too.

Problem is, the vast majority of the people who are playing in it are only "occasional" golfers and don't have official handicaps. They would look on Wellshurst as a "good" golf course due to the fact that they haven't actually played a "good" golf course before!
Don't want to upset the applecart so will go with a smile on my face

You should feel right at home then.

Nah, that's long forgotten. I'm taking about you playing with your Cat III mates ya knob

Mmmmmm.
Imagine how embarrassing it would be losing to a Cat III golfer Bob.
You'd most probably hang up your clubs.

You always know a dodgy one when there are hardly any / no photo's of the course on its website !! If the websites anything to go by it does seem like a shocker !!

 

[CrapHacker]

Remember Lindfield a few years ago? It was you that told me how bad it was. But it's a lot better now.

Ok, so Wellshurst is better than it used to be.

As long as it's not after a downpour.

Or a drought.

You might even play to your handicap there.

Unlucky mate - but as someone else suggested, why not take over organising the golf days in future - you would be awesome!

I bet you 10p you enjoy yourself.

( Oh sod it, let's raise the stakes - 20p says it's fun )

Rob,

Apologies for being of no help whatsoever, but congrats on getting a new job, mate!

 

[Oddsocks]

So with them being part time Golfers you have no excuse not to clear up of 13 rob

Ha ha, I knew that was coming Rob.

If it makes you feel any better, my Son in Law played there last Friday, and said the greens were the best he'd ever played! Although he doesn't play very much these days, I think he knows a good green when he sees one.

I know how you feel about Wellshurst, but as you haven't played there for a long time, you will see a big difference I'm sure.

One other thing, it's an easier course than most, so you can impress the boss with a great score.
If you can bring yourself to play it again, it'll be interesting to read your review.

Golfmmad.

Enjoy it. It's hardly broken the bank to play it and it'll be a good opportunity to please the new boss, have a stress free game, maybe nick a prize or too and generally have a day out playing golf. Crap course or not a game is a game (Lydd not withstanding of course)

 

[SyR]

It could be worse... it could be Eastbourne Golfing Park!

To be fair Chris, it is ages since I've played there, so maybe being a little unfair. It's just that the whole place was a dump in my eyes. Greens were terrible, fairways were like football pitches with daisies and dandelions growing everywhere, and the tees were super scruffy.
Plus, the 1st and 10th holes were bloody nightmares.
I'll give an honest review once I've played it again.

 

[bobmac]

Given the choice, would you rather play it as bad as it is or go and work in your old job for the day?
