It was on in the pub tonight so I had no chance to avoid it. Even the Rolex was showing the wrong time and day. Won't be wasting my money on one of those then.

Played today in shotgun start. One of the 4 ball is notoriously doxy, so after our first hole I checked he'd written our score in the right box. He wasn't chuffed I had.
After 6 holes, there was a discussion of how many points to score because of stroke index... of course, he had written the first score in space for hole 1.
3 holes from the end he hit a low slice bullet towards our trolleys, it hit mine square on the rotating switch, knocking it flying. So I have a broken trolley that I have to push for rest of round. I also have to suss where to get new switch. Grrr

Now I hear the GPS version is a complete unit, not just replace the switch

Scoring well again and missing out on any roll up money for the third week running by a point

How much does the winner usually take home after they buy everyone in the roll up a drink?
Good luck in the medal today.

My friend and recent matchplay doubles partner is having shoulder surgery at some point in the coming months (he has dislocated it a number of times). There is a betterball knockout starting in April, so out of courtesy I just double-checked that he wouldn't be able to enter before asking our other friend. But bafflingly, he thinks he'll only take two weeks to recover from it. Even though he's having 6 months signed off from work. And he works in a hospital. So he thinks we should sign up, and I don't really know whether to do it or not. Wish I hadn't asked.
I think you do know what to do. Just for clarification, you ask your other friend, and may I suggest, you give this one a rocket!

Our course has has a notice on the booking thing that we will be off mats all winter as they will be doing work on the all the teeing areas. Did they? Nope.
And whilst I'm on, greens staff doing nothing to repair greens damaged by birds pecking and making hole, but moan about unrepaired pitch marks.

Saturday roll up we pay out first and second and they have a handicap cut for the following 3 weeks (2 shots for winning and 1 for second). It has really helped spread the cash around.

And he'll be delighted with that if it lessens his chance of winning again and being out of pocket.Shouldn't this be in the laughter thread?.....You know amongst the jokes that are allegedly funny because they make no sense

Yep, another post which ignores the question.

Well if the winner paid for a round of drinks then of course he'd be out of pocket. Sadly you are mixing up the Saturday roll up where first and second take the cash and a cut is applied accordingly with the Sunday (bigger roll up) where the winner buys the drinks and the lowest score of the days acts as his "bitch" and has to order and serve all the drinks and clear the glasses down for the bar staff. This has a much bigger pot as it is £4 as opposed to £3 on a Saturday and on usually once a few have gone (if they are an early group and have stuff on, or people only wanting a single/quick drink) then the average take home AFTER the drinks is around £35-45 pounds.
Maybe get the facts right before making such mocking comments that are erroneous

Receiving notification a week before an open I booked ages ago that the prize giving now requires Jacket and tie as it’s in the clubhouse lounge.
If I’d of known I wouldn’t of booked with this company and booked with GAGT and their date instead.

Someone who slags off our course, saying the greens they've the worst they've been for years (which they are absolutely not) and then you find out they've only been a member at the club for a year or so.

Nope. I've explained the two roll ups many times and the fact winner takes all on Sunday

The implication the winner goes home out of pocket and with a handicap cut. You are simply wrong. No handicap cuts in the Sunday roll up and no - the winner never goes home losing money and always comes out in front. It's why we put it up to £4 as the fields were getting bigger and the margins were getting smaller. The Saturday roll up the first and second take the money paid and get a cut.
Very simple and answers the Q & A you raised. Playing the poster again and not seeing the answer you want to see

Bleeding heck! I hope you aren't responsible for allocating drugs at work!
Nothing wrong with your answer, apart from the fact that it had nothing to do with the actual question!
And again...The answer had nothing to do with the actual question! As pointed out in the immediate reply!

Shoulder impingement ?
Could have gone on the other thread but with 4 days off work approaching and decent weather forecast ?
