The Grinder Of Pars (Semi Crocked)
Just got an email from Online Golf asking if I need to restock with balls after the weekend.....cheeky buggers
Ours has been extended a month.....
Sorry to hear that. TTy BRS with 10 minute intervals and nobody can cut in on the 10th unless the whole,of the 9th is clear OR no cutting in whatsoever on the 10th.Taking nearly 4 1/4 hours as a 2 ball this afternoon
One massive problem with not having a booking system is there's no control over the number of people who want to play.
We started around 12.30
It wasn't fast be we ticked along and turned about 15 minutes over normal time...just after 2
Then we had to wait 20 minutes at the 10th
With a 2 tee start there were 4 groups waiting....and it was painfully slow on the back 9
2 1/2 hours to play, waiting on every shot, waiting on every tee for 6 or 7 minutes ..
There were simply too many people on the course.....
If only there was a way to control the numbers on the course....

Got it in one..Sounds like a nightmare all around.
I couldn’t play at a course with a two tee start. I can’t get my head around that. Just screams hold up.
I’ll hazard a guess that at the first tee people tee off when the fairway is clear rather than the green? That’s a big culprit for bunching up and slow rounds as well.
Removing preffered lies a month early when the course isn’t ready
The period EG allow is from 1st October until the 30th April - anything after that requires county approval
Are you saying your course has removed preferred lies a month earlier than EG allow/suggest/recommend?
Preffered lies were removed 1st April
You obviously don't know how, or why, it works then!Sounds like a nightmare all around.

The date could have some significance!Preffered lies were removed 1st April

Well it's pretty simple really and it really can work - but only in Winter (or small fields), effectively adding up to 9 tee times to the reduced number of Winter times available, or shrinking the timespan of fields with 18 or fewer groups (to that of 9-ish). The pace is no slower than normal. It just gets up to 9 (most clubs don't usually push it to the limit though) extra groups on from first light, so course usage is optimised. It actually is 'most beneficial' on courses where the standard round time is long. On 'quick' courses, the benefits are not so great - or might even be non-existent/detrimental!I thought that was glaringly blatant with the sentence before the one you bolded, and amplified with the words used in the sentence you bolded.
Rip the driver in social/daft knocks alone
comp off the whites = SLICE TIME
This.
On my own I'm not trying to outdrive anybody so I focus on getting my tempo right and generally drive it pretty well.
Unfortunately my regular PPs all absolutely tonk it so I start chasing them and it all goes to pot ?.
Get the boys together and drag him round the back of the clubhouse for a straightenerOver 4 1/2 hours in a medal and a group containing the usual slow play suspect losing over two holes and the course stacking up. Because he was going well and looking for a pick up from the swindle more than winning the event (he played with the guy that won and so knew that wasn't on the cards) it was sod everyone else. Formal letter of complaint has been filed but the manager, captain and committee haven't the balls to do anything so it'll get swept under the carpet and he'll continue to lose holes every time there is a competition.
