Do you have a sense of Humour on the golf course?

[Hacker Khan]

I do not have a sense of humour on the golf course and am a right miserable little rotter (is that word un rude enough?).

I take the game very seriously as if I wanted to have a laugh I'd go to comedy show. Or watch England play football. If I see anyone not taking it seriously I usually report them to the club captain and I have got 2 people banned from our club for 'larking around'. If people can't play seriously then why bother? They should go and play something else more suited to their social status like football or quiots.

You do realise he's not dead. Pretty sure if you want any more cheap wood he'll sort you out.

That's the point buddy. If it hadn't been for the forum I would never have met him or his generosity.

Try watching Scotland then! You'll pee your pants with laughter!

This is the thing- everyone who has met bomber says he's s good guy.
I've exchanged emails with him and he was charming.

So why be such a knob online?

Society days are quite strange as there is always something to play for in the individual Stablefords in the morning yet every 3 and 4 ball I have been in invariably ends in a bit of giggle along the way. It's the Scramble in the afternoon when it gets serious: especially when the Birdies start going in!!

Something that relates to the OP. I was playing at Blue Mountain in Bracknell with friends a couple of years ago, alongside a couple of the Tee's are bloomin great big poles supporting nets to protect the houses alongside the course. I let one rip and hit the last pole square with a massive Dong! the ball whistled past my head and into a big clump of grass behind the Tee. The guys I was with were in fits, the guys coming up behind us had just caught us up, seen my mishap and were laughing, there were 3 guys who had just got on the 18th behind us 2 of them were laughing too, the third just looked. Being green I asked what do I do now, to which all 3 groups said "play it as it lays" giggling some more as they peered at the mire my ball was in. So with a mighty swing my ball was free, at which it hit the Tee side bench and bounced back thankfully on to better grass. Even more laughter all round! With a now Beetroot red face (and slightly seeing the funny side) I nervously play my now third shot from behind where I started out with an audience fighting to stay quiet, this one flys under the bench (missing it by millimetres) and out onto the fairway to friendly cheers all round: all except from the 3rd chap on the 18th Tee who had been chewing wasps with a face like a smacked backside chuntering under his breath giving me daggers all through my ordeal.
So on that Friday Evening 7 out of 8 Golfers had a sense of humour!

High handicappers, 15??? I dream of being a 15 handicapper.....

Just wait till you get stuck behind me, then I will test the patience of anyone.

Surely you can get lower than 15 ... You've got 1200 hundred + posts talking about golf in your first year so if you spend less time posting and more time at the range in your 2nd then it's achievable?

Internet golfer's ... Are they described in the dictionary or are they just rambler's with clubs?

I think you'll find that at best only 5% of my posts actually have anything sensible to say about golf. Most of them are just frontier gibberish.

And in evidence I submit this post, no further questions your honour...

Well put.

Big bomber is a gent. Did me a huge favour and brilliant price on some wood. A very helpful man who I will miss

Bomber's a gent lol ... If there's anything that's worse than a weekend golfer it's someone that's drunk in charge of a keyboard! :cheers:

If you had checked the card, you'd have seen the Local Rule that states it's a 'free Reload' if you hit the nets/poles on those 2 holes (12 and 13 these days)!

I've played with a guy who can't play those holes because he can never get out of the nets!

Seriously ... I would wish you nothing but good luck but when folk are stuck around 18 (as an example) then their just a buying tool, ching ching.

Get yourself along to the range and start hitting some balls ... and don't listen to any of the specialists on here. I've seen folk handing out info like their a pro and they can't break 80 lol

All the best :swing:

Is this Bomber or Westwood

HH, you crack me up pal.

How are you?

I'm fine Val ... Nothing fancy right enough and for the last 6 or 7 weeks the fridge and air con world has been going nuts. I hate missing out on some golf and the chit chat but im getting back to normal now.

Hows your golf been going this summer? Anything exciting?

 

[palindromicbob]

FORUM BINGO!!!!

All I needed was complaints about the moderating of the forum for my full house!!

Typical case of internet personality disorder by the sounds of it. Totally different online than they are in real life.

If I was to go to a forum meet with random draws and Bomber was there I'd be praying to avoid being in his group and hope to hell he was out before me because of some of the things he said. I knew to pretty much ignore them because I've seen enough of it on here now. God only knows what outside viewers or newer members thought about some of the comments though.
The back handed ribbing/banter type humour never goes down well in written form.

Then again I'd also expect a few on here to want to avoid playing with me based solely on forum input etc. It's not to bad though I'd probably end up at the wrong course anyway

That Westwood guy ... His next win will be in a sunday morning bounce game with his one hit wonder mate Darren Clarke.

Hows your golfing summer been going, any good?

Too many NR's :angry: But good fun!

Nothing exciting mate, played tonnes of nonsense and struggling for a score, better get to the range more

Looks like no one read the local rules that evening: rotten sods! 😃

Still least I know for next time I play there: Cheers.

Nae humour in golf and it could be a very long day.

Never met Sam but enjoyed his posts. Know enough guys who know him, who say he's a good go so that says a lot.

Fail to see what the fuss is about, the guy livened the place up immensely.
