Golf Random Irritations

[srixon 1]

Apparently the BBC being offered highlights of the PGA tour for free, turned it down.
Just shows what they think of golf

Would get in the way of someone baking, cooking, sewing, or some other such crap reality show. Once you’ve seen someone bake a cake you don’t need to see them do it again.

Oh, you've reminded me. Really looking forward to the final of the Pottery Throwdown on Sunday.

C'mon Lois. Beat the two boring geezers!

Would block the showing of repeats of Antiques roadshow

The viewer figures for the PGAT tour aren’t that great in the UK so I suspect they don’t see the worth having highlights on those events at some point late Monday somewhere.

Majors and Ryder Cup you can see some wanting to watch highlights ( when they are on the day it happens )

Would be easy for them to put it on the Iplayer though

Ah, she's getting too dramatic. 'Me, star potter, surely not' cue dramatic fall . I like the tall guy . All very good though.

So often I identify with a bit of an underdog.

I wouldn't say she is that. Think she has the most Star Potter awards doesn’t she? She is very, very good.

Bake off is on Channel 4

While I agree wholeheartedly (in fact I've never watched a single episode of any of those baking/sewing/dancing/etc shows), I suspect there are people out there who would say that once you've seen some guy hit a little white ball with a stick, you don't need to see them do it again.

I have a mate, currently plays off 26 ish hit the ball a mile but in any direction. but aims for 40 points, no matter what he's playing off, or where he's playing. it's always "I need 40 points today". I can't understand how anyone at that level (including myself, hovering around 22...) isn't happy for 1 - just being outside and having some fun with a few mates, and 2 - maybe just "being better than last week".

Breaking your driver shaft whilst putting my bag in the car.

Give it a while, your shots at the Range will count for handicap

Course closed for the 4th day in a row.

Course closed for the 4th day in a row.

If we are playing Top Trumps"……..we’ve been closed for 6 days.


but as I’m in Lanzarote, I‘m not too bothered.

 

[Wilson]

Getting a big clump of mud on the ball and your in the rough so no lcp.

 

[Dando]

My inability to hit a wedge in a straight line - I’m getting this big fade for some reason.

We are the same. We had snow on the 7th which closed the course, and we have had rain every day since, a lot of it quite substantial. I've walked the course with the dog and while in patches it's fine, if they opened it the hordes would arrive and it would be cut to pieces.

Saturday will be interesting as there is a 3-person team event scheduled. What will they do?

In the meantime I have become a range rat, which will probably be more productive in the long term but I'm missing real golf now.
