Golf Random Irritations

[Billysboots]

Finding out that the Captain’s Drive In scramble at the weekend was won by a team that has now won the last four team events they have entered, and that the highest handicap member (playing off 22), hasn’t played a singles comp in the last two years.

And our committee claims to be “powerless” to act. Well, how about extending the requirement to have played three qualifiers is a rolling calendar year, which currently applies if you are to win monetary prizes in a singles comp, to team events?

Your Committee’s response is incorrect and irresponsible.

Totally agree. It’s laziness, pure and simple. And the result is team events at ours with absolutely no integrity whatsoever.

I’m lucky in that I get the opportunity to work compressed hours meaning I get a day off midweek, usually alternating Tuesdays & Thursdays. Unfortunately over the last month this has coincided with a course closure each and every time. To really compound matters guess what, you got it…. Course open the following day on each occasion

The number of times we are going to see a replay of McIlroy's bunker shot at the Masters on Sky Sports in the next week or so. (Along with the Tiger putt).

Don’t forget the Tiger chip in. “In your life………….”

Oops. It was the chip I was thinking of. Right person, wrong type of shot

Course closed yet again.

Course closed yet again.

even if ours isn't closed, it'll be unplayable. Raining all day today as well, so can't even get out on the bike for some fresh air
The weather the last few weeks has been execrable. It'll take a fair few days for the course to be enjoyable to play on, even if it's open.

First chance to play for a week and it’s blowing at 50 mph on the south coast with sideways rain. Probably the only chance I get to play this weekend too

If only my place would do that. The course wasn’t too bad until a few weeks ago. Now it’s like a ploughed field in places.

Its the little things isnt it! If our owners had the balls to ban trollies our course would be in so much better nick come May time!

We too are playing in ploughed fields - especially anywhere near tee boxes!!!

I agree the course needs to be protected.
I've been asking for more paths to be made where needed.
