Golf Random Irritations

[harpo_72]

Just had the run down for the criteria to play competitions and consideration of eligibility for prizes. Not conducive for those of us that have to work round busy schedules.
Kind of indicates that the WHS is not the solution it promised to be.

Paul McGinley. Could he talk any more rot?

And now Ewen Murray joins in; "That was more than 360". No it is not. Did they not do basic geometry at Sky?

Billy Ho doing keepy uppy walking off the 13th green, misses, stands on the ball, picks it up and walks on leaving, effectively, a pitch mark..
Peasant.

Lad I used to play with before I rejoined the club messaged me today. Not played with him for a couple of years, only see him at work in once a blue moon.
asked if I could fill a spot in the invitational on Friday as somebody has pulled out and it’s £15
Thought would be good to catch up, enjoyed playing with him, first tee time so suitable.
Agreed and then tells me he can’t play and it’s with his uncle, and a format I’m not interested in! ?
cheers.

Doesn't get that warm in summer up here

Wouldn't swap, lakes, mountains and sea all within a few miles. Added bonus of very few people

INTU have gone bust. And in any case it's the Harlequin - always will be, regardless of whatever logo the current owners decide to display on it.

Yeah, what's left of it! Last time I went half the big shops had shut down.

hitting it well all winter, then as soon as we get to playing comps can't hit a ball with an iron

Indeed. Now that John Lewis has decided not to reopen, can't really think of any shop that would make a visit worthwhile. (M&S, perhaps)

Yesterday over hearing somebody moaning about course conditions.

The hollow tining sanding and over seeding was clearly done last week.

This guy was moaning about it having been done when the green staff new we would be coming back to play today, " why could they have not done it a few weeks ago"

It really shows a lack of understanding as to why the course is so good most of summer and when seed needs to be sown.

The pair me and my mate are playing in 1st round of 4BBB K/O have put themselves down to play with us on sat am. I'm thinking that they might well be looking to suss us out (more likely they just fancy a Sat am knock) - but just in case they want a look at how I manage my mate's game (as he will get 13 shots against the three of us in the K/O) - I think I'll suggest the normal Sat am thing - that we chuck the balls up for pairings - now that could be me being irritating - just for a change

Pitch marks. Just played 9 holes and repaired 5 or 6 pitch marks on every green.

We've been open 2 days, and only to members. So there aren't even visitors or societies to blame.

Alas same at ours

Ditto. Repaired 5 or 6 within a few yards of each other on one of our par 3s thus afternoon. Why??? .

Hole19 have decided you now have to pay if you want to see any of the data that it just let you record during the round. Even the actual gross score. So putting in my number of putts and fairways hit etc was a waste a time.

Edit: Turns out they just moved it and included an extra to prompt to pay for Premium to distract you. Oh well crisis averted.

Rain..
