A lad I play with used to play every Xmas morning with another lad (he's Jewish) his kids were grown up and there was only him and the missus there so he'd play golf while his wife cracked on with dinner.

If I played golf on Christmas Day who would cook the dinner?

In any event it is forbidden at our club. The access road is chained off to prevent it becoming a Public Right of Way.

A couple of members did play a few years ago (limboed under the chains) and were disciplined which I thought was a bit OTT.

It's a common occurrence to play on Xmas day in South Africa. Weather makes a big difference though doesn't it?

Indeed. One New Year's Day I swam 40 lengths in outdoor swimming pool starting at 8am in South Africa.
Sobered up somewhere around length 36...

Boxing Day is a great day to go out. Not 18 holes but a quick 9 or so and then a beer in the clubhouse before going home for more family stuff. My old club used to run a texas scramble that was hugely popular. I am trying to persuade my current one to do something similar.

a couple of guys i know play every Christmas morning, but they live in the same road as the club.

Been once when the current Mrs148 gave me some golf clubs for Christmas, so had a reason to go.

if i lived in Nairn,no doubt i would ;)
