Are golfers ruining golf???

[AuburnWarrior]

I ask this question in all seriousness.

The game of golf is a great one - of that there can be no denial.

But, my point is this, the golf course is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Perfect, spirit level flat teeing areas which lead to lush, well defined fairways which snake their way to excellently manicured greens where your balls run true. Lydd - purchance.

And then.........

Us hackers get involved and we leave un-replaced divots lying around, we don't rake the bunkers and we don't repair our pitchmarks.

Add to that the fact that we let Senior citizens on the aforementioned golfing nirvana and surely we're doing the game of golf a great disservice. Add to that female golfers, blokes who wear white trousers, anyone under 87 who uses a buggy, anyone who wears a black glove, the Welsh, anyone who uses castle tees, anyone who uses TopFlite balls and changing your shoes in the car park and we are blackening the name of this great game.

So, I reckon us golfers are ruining golf. What say you???

Can I take responsibility for this one? Can't do my reputation any harm.

Hey, if it helps make me look good then I'm in.

The more the merrier.

Surely the golf course only exists because people want to play/hack on it.

If it wasnt used it would be turned into a Tescos, or a housing estate. So Im quite happy to keep it as it is, besides it keeps the ground staff in work, keeping up with the repairs.

We have Red Kites, Herons, Woodpeckers, pheasants and wild Hares on our course....I think they appreciate the habitat that has been created


And whats wrong with changing my shoes in the Car Park?

our local Council turned a few acres of waste ground and tip in to the described area above and created a fairly reasonable muni course which I use on a regular basis

The dog walkers think its great

How can you put serious and Lydd in the same sentence. It's the only course that would play better with a Tescos on it

Someone once said that you are only as old as the woman you feel. Don't think that my old body could keep up with my wish list
