Annual Xmas Frustration

[GB72]

We are approaching Xmas, everyone is in a festive mood, people have time off work and it is the perfect time for a few 'fun' competitions up the golf club. So what do we have on, absolutely nothing until the New Year. No Turkey Trot, no Texas Scrambles no 3 club challenges, not a thing. Not even a bog standard stapleford over the festive period to keep people happy.

This bugs me every year. I, and many others, have time of work, plenty of opportunity for some golf and the club has nothing on at all. Whilst it had other issues, my old club had a comp on every day over xmas, be it a full festive medal or a 9 hole comp, there was always some reason to get the clubs out.

Have you tried speaking to the committee to ask why they don't arrange any comps? Plenty goes on at our place.

Bit late this year. One of my group has just got themselves voted on to the committee so will see what he can do for next year.

we have a few interesting things on over Christmas.

3 man team, 3 club and a comp playing the course backwards ( that is fun)

Sorry to be blunt but if as you state it bugs you every year I believe you have had plenty of time to go to the committee or even offer your services or even get a couple of mates to organise something.

Its one of those scenarios where someone always expects others to do something and in the end nothing gets done.

I know from the work you do for HFH you have the ability of persuasion just get on and do something.

Harsh?i don't think so.

Have you asked why not? We tend to have a turkey trot and monthly stableford in December and then a big new years day social event. If it frustrates that much why not ask the question and offer to help
