Do You Say 'Driver' or 'A Driver'

If someone started announcing what club they're going to use before they pulled it from the bag I'd think they were a bit of a knob!

If they announced what club they were going to use after they'd pulled it from the bag I'd think they were an even bigger knob as I can see what club it is by looking at it!

This, come to think of it I have never come across anyone who announces their shot or club of choice
 
A work colleague has recently started playing the odd round with us. He always asks what club I'm hitting on the Par 3s,if I say 7 he'll say 9. If I hit 8 he'll go PW.
7/10 he's about 2 clubs short of the green or hit a massive slice because he's tried smashing it:mad:
 
Played Royal Dornoch recently and was playing with 3 Americans from Texas, one of them stepping up to a par 3 says "this is my 180 yard club, I step up to the tee with a hybrid which I hit a bad shot about 30/40 yards the previous hole and said "this is my 30 yard club" Hank says ( yes that was his name) " gee I didn't think you English had a sense of humour";)

Mark Crossfield! Its what I find particularly annoying about his videos
(edit: the 'look at me and my mates playing golf' ones obviously)

I joined in really to discuss and hopefully correct some of the utter tripe that is being spewed forth by the yes campaigners in the referendum thread.

inbetween laughing at their blind faith I spotted this interesting thread on golf.

As a 'pretty good' golfer of over 10 years I'm having trouble understanding the point of this 'discussion'. Apart from answering a fellow player during a friendly game I dont think I have, nor ever heard of, anyone 'announcing' their chosen weapon.

very strange practice indeed unless you are an attention seeker, or American.

after the referendum I might come back but it will depend if all the topics are as riveting as this one.

I have played with a few people like that, obsessed with hitting less club than everyone else.
