At his age and after one pint he needs it to get down the stairs.

 

[richart]

Rich - it is a bit like a mobile phone and some of those other new-fangled inventions that the youf of today enjoy:lol: Love the stannah!!:whoo:

That explains it Paul, mobile phones passed me by. They sound like a good idea that might catch on though.

What's the purpose of banning phones if they are not being used for phone calls ?

ANother lovely 19th century facet of our lovely game - just ban stuff because we like banning things, or because "chavs use iPhones so we dont like them in our non-muni club" i suppose

 

[Naybrains]

What about this "Taliban Tv"system? more and more pubs are getting it since that court case darn Sarf.
I presume more Golf clubs will be considering it now, I know of one which has it.

My clubs got sky, dont think they'll know what wifi is.
We've got 2 puggy machines too (essential in Scotland)

 

[Oddsocks]

im all for phones being banned from the main bar, i hear phones ringing all bloody day and eespcially with current stupid bloody ring tones, but i think they should be allowed on silent, and hen you can choose to take the call out in private such as locker room etc.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

We're not allowed phones in the bar. That doesn't stop a lot of people using them on silent and going outside onto the patio or by the main entrance to take calls. Treat people as adults and they'll behave as such

Absolutely! What is wrong with banning the use of 'phones on the course & in the bar if there is an area where they can be used without disturbing others? I presume that by 19th Century you mean showing consideration for others. Hardly anti-chav; just good manners.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

We have Sky and ESPN but no WiFi. Phones are ok in the bar as long as they're on silent. The dress code is somewhat relaxed too but I doubt you'd get in with ripped jeans.

That's not very nice is it.
Anyone would think Smiffy is some old balding git who cant climb a flight of stairs without having to sit down.
Well it's not good enough.
This forum has too many digs at the less young members and I think it's time to make stand.
I will not have the youth making disparaging comments about my mate Smiffy. He's a good friend and golfer.
Show some respect for your elders in future :angry:

And for those of you who weren't at Blackmoor last year.............

Id agree with OS here have it on silent & go somewhere private to answer , last thing i want is to have to listen to one of the law de daw clowns on the phone talking so everyone else can hear when im having or trying to have grub, drink & a chat about the round just played ,


Naybrains .. whats a puggy machien .. poker mayb ?? seriously ?

Its a vending machine.
Sells condoms, cigarettes, deep fried mars bars etc

 

[bladeplayer]

, but as I have no idea what Wi-Fi is I have no idea if we have that as well. .:mmm:

Not sure if ya serious or not here,but anyhow it is wireless internet .. you can surf the net free on your phone , laptop etc once you get the password once ..

 

[Fyldewhite]

We have both + ESPN too.

I know times are hard, clubs are under financial pressure and Sky etc is expensive but I believe that running a golf club is about offering a service to the membership with facilities (social, catering, snooker, TV, newspapers, comfortable surroundings etc) in addition to simply running a golf course and putting on competitions. Any lowering of the basic facilities a club offers will make them less competitive with the next club who offer better all round facilities. We therefore have always resisted the pressure to close the bar early, ditch sky TV etc. It's the road to nowhere and a vicious circle far to many clubs have got sucked in by.

We only really use condoms to keep our ciggies dry in the rain.

You should have seen the look I got from the chemist when I asked for ones big enough to fit a camel.
