Golf Random Irritations

[GreiginFife]

When the hell did golf bags get so bloody expensive? My PK bag has started to give up so had a look, stand bags going for £300+! What madness is this.

I have the DriLite Premium cart bag, big bugger it is too, and that was £180.

Shocked so I am.

Laughed to myself today and I DID NOT ask him to quote the rule.

After I holed the ball I said I would leave my ball in the hole as I struggle bending down.

A guy is the group said he had better take the ball out because if the next player's ball goes in there would be a penalty!

Ask how many shots though

What happened?

What happened?

Trolley decided to just go off on its own ( think battery caused that ) and crashed into a tree then bunker

What did you do, take a drop or crash a provisional?

Not sure if I can blame golf for this, but woke up on Thursday with an ache in my knee, which I think was a result of going down a steep bank on a dog walk the day before.

Was due to play golf, so went out and had a couple of swings in the garden. Knee felt ok so went to golf. Played 18 holes with no problems, however on Friday morning woke up in agony. 48 hours later, and my knee keeps locking up like there is cartilage floating about.

To make matters worse, am now in the Lakes for a week’s holiday, don’t think there are going to be too many fells scaled this week.

as someone who’s usual bad driver is a high slice, the 2 low duck hooks I hit yesterday were very surprising

I've got both those shots in my locker

When I said I was not aware of that rule he said that he only thought and was also undecided who would have the penalty.

Sure he would have thought of any number for the penalty incurred!

There should be a penalty for making up rules that don’t exist.
Two shots would do.

I've still got 2 or 3 appalling tee shots in me at the moment! Got to cut these out

I find the best way of avoiding bad tee shots is to hit my provisional first.

You're welcome.

Unfortunetly you can't make up a rule on the spot, even if it's a good one like this one

This gets worse! NB Ian M.

I was playing with a guy today and explained what hd happened last week re penalty if opponents ball was already in the hole. I expected he would laugh. I was wrong.

He said yes, the other ball must be removed! Before giving up I said what happens if somebody has a hole in one or holes from off the green.
He did not reply!

Tried a Titleist GT2 and 3 today.
I also slapped a Qi10 mens and women’s specifications.
GT3 was not so forgiving, but I really didn’t like the shaft option.
GT2 was okay shaft changed but still not my bag.
Then tried a Qi10 on a whim - worse for me and then he got the ladies Qi10 which had the 40g shaft in
Titleist was 95-102mph head speed .. ball data was rubbish because they were knackered. Flight good, the shape I wanted.
Qi10 was 92-95mph felt softer on the face didn’t have the same level of performance..
ladies Qi10 was very close to my set up and felt closer to it. But not as good as the performance.
I don’t think anything is stand out better, but also the grip feels rubbish on all the trial /demo shafts.. plus my set up now is so off the wall and I like it. I wonder if it would blow the fitters mind?
