Why is that a joke? Are the fairways at Phil's club really muddy?
I played Woodhall Spa and Luffenham Heath last week and there was no need for preferred lies on the fairways. Even on my parkland course, yesterday I only touched my ball once on the fairway, and that was because I could rather than because I needed to.

I don’t think the course is too far away , the front 9 was fine , didn’t have any issues really but there are a few patches
There are 4/5 holes on the back that just need a bit more warmth and covering of grass to grow. It was just a couple weeks too early to bring off preffered lies

Strangely enough we announced an end to preferred lies via the website this morning (meaning 90% of the membership will be blissfully unaware). It was drying out nicely at the weekend but of course raining again today and like LP's course good in some parts but a few holes on the back nine that need a little more time and so would like to have seen preferred lies in place until Easter when we have a board event

No prefered lies in place for the first time on Saturday. Wasn't a problem. But of rain about this week, might change things!
That's on the website, the pre weekend email and we have an A Frame on the first tee every Saturday stating the comp format, allowances and any course conditions etc. No excuse not to be absolutely clear

because he said they were removed on 1st April, you know that date when jokes are quite common.

Broken tees being left in tee boxes. Puts you right off when you clip one on your takeaway!

It is OK to take preferred lies off before 30th April but after that date County authorisation is required I understnd.

Teeing mats at Little Hay today. They were the kind you can put a tee in anywhere, but far too soft which made it a challenge just to get the tee to stay upright! Plus they were too small. A couple of times to hit at the angle I wanted with driver, my heels were off the back edge of it.

He's a right knob.
I can put up with Monty but Roe is a desert head too.
And don't get me started on Naga Munterchetty...

Naga is interesting. Not sure why you hate her so much especially as a golfer. She did some good stuff about getting women and juniors into golf

I don't hate her, just a huge dislike.
She just gets my hackles up

Shes one of my missus' random irritations as well and I can see why to be fair. Shes brutal at times.
I find her rather attractive which winds my missus up even more.
Plus when I met her at the gym once she was lovely.
