He has entered a competition where his partner can only play weekends and is now moaning about his opponents entering when they have no flexibility - double standards in my book

I think it's a bit different not being able to play because you work, as opposed to not wanting to play because you want to play a competition instead.

There is no double standards. This comp for the pairs has the stipulation that it is mainly a weekend competition and that there is another pairs midweek competition.
I have asked for what weekends are available. The reply I got was rubbishing the fact his job as a teacher isn't as time intensive as we are making it out. The presumptions on another persons job is what blew my mind.

As it is a mid week comp (which wasn't mentioned) then I feel you have a right to be aggrieved

Quite the assumption they are making there. It seems to be "play the tie on our terms or it's not getting played".

It is actually incredibly rude to reply to someone telling you they can't play in the week because of work, telling them that they're actually wrong.

Went to a driving range last night for the first time in months, even though I play a couple of rounds every week.
I'm wondering at what point I decided to keep my wrists completely stiff through my swing. Noticed it last night and made a point of forcing them to flex on the back swing and turn the club over on my strike. Miraculously the ball suddenly started going 25% further and straight with a hint of draw.
Might be time for a lesson. Probably too lazy though.

It sounds like you just gave yourself a pretty successful lesson, why pay for another one??

My feelings exactly. Lessons are boring. A scattergun approach to fixing self-acquired problems on my own is much more entertaining for everyone.

How the hell do you lot play in this wind every week? I'm pretty sure this is a mild breeze to the locals but we're bent over

Can get breezy in East Lothian but West of Scotland was certainly a bit windier than usual recently.
Was flushing my drives one after the other on the practice area, get to the first tee and top it 
It's the same down the coast in the NE as well I'm afraid
.Lovely place to play golf, East Lothian. Oh, and swing slow in the wind
. I tend to lose that battle, the enemy on my shoulder convinces me to swing faster on the downswing, but it really is the answer.Enjoy

We played Dunbar yesterday and thankfully it was nothing like the other 3 days.

When it's breezy, swing easy...or annihilate it and moan when it's in the sea.It's the same down the coast in the NE as well I'm afraid
