Teeing off on our first today in the rain.
First PP tees off then we notice a 4ball walking back past the 1st green towards us, obviously giving up and walking in to the clubhouse. They proceed to walk down the middle the first fairway, totally oblivious to the fact that we are still waiting to tee off.
Even when we wave and shout to them they continue walking towards the tee and can only say "we didn't think anyone would be teeing off in this weather"

£105 for both rounds on Saturday
Wouldn’t touch the place at that price
Surely somewhere like Coventry , Copt Heath , Robin Hood even Stratford would be better value
Maybe even go down to Tadmarten or Oxford way to get better value

Club hosted a charity golf day last week. People clearly drunk on the course, riding on back of buggies and generally loud and rude to everyone around. This apparently continued into the dining area after. GM absolutely fuming as we are working hard on improving the club as a brand and attracting more business (ultimately good for keeping membership fees down) but one group undoing a lot of hard work. They won't be coming back despite wanting to rebook

Nah I paid it. Quite like that they're both on site and we haven't got to travel about between the two rounds. Thought it was OK for both rounds.
Also, my groups standards aren't as high as yours

We had something similar with a visiting group. The bar staff foolishly sold them thirty six bottles of beer to take on the course. They wrecked a buggy, damaged a fire door and have now been banned from returning.

Short game. I seem incapable of repeating the same shot twice even in block practice. Seem to be having a real brain fog again

Ave booked a lesson next Monday with a lady PGA at another club. A few of the lads have had lessons with her and say she is very good.

Coz me driving is killing me plus I wasn’t sure if it was a bit early to post in golf things that gladden the heart. I have had more lessons re my driver than I have had driving lessons.

You buy yet another new strap for your Shot Scope V3 watch and within 2 weeks it's the watch that breaks this time, not connecting to GPS, rebooting when trying to read a tag and won't shut down. It's like it's had a dodgy firmware update except this happened on the course when no firmware update should have been happening.
You send a video of all of this to Shot Scope who come back with "yes, that watch is goosed, here's £100 off the X5 if you want to buy a new one."
No, I don't think I will thanks.

I don't know if I've just been unlucky but none of my golf GPS devices have lasted longer than three years. My V3 is currently two and a half years old I think.

That's exactly what this one is coming up to, bought it in August 2021. It's bizarre what has happened to it with no software update, obviously some internal component has failed. I'd expect a watch I used twice a week for a total of 8 hours per week would last longer than it has. It's not like I wore it all the time, only used it when playing golf. Plus, I've spent over £100 on new straps for the thing since the RFID circuit board in them kept breaking.

My handicap is 17, one of my regular playing partners is off six - most of his shots look good to me, but I doubt he's happy with them all.

Sadly my PP has withdrawn from the seniors Greensome open tomorrow his arthritis
( hip ) has flared up.
I could've asked another mate as a substitute, but I didn't want to lose another friend. Pmsl.
