Golf Random Irritations

[sjw]

On Saturday evening I missed FOUR putts from 4-5 feet due to bobbles on the greens. Going dead centre and then just diverted sideways. And I got the most filthy bounce to short side myself on the 9th green after pitching right by the pin. Couldn't believe it. I only played 12 holes as well!

Get yourself there, old man loves that course, probably helps that he got a hole in one there

Front 9 is OK, back is a very parkland. it was even less appealing as lunch was involved and id have to drive

If you pick a line, start it on that at a reasonable pace for it get to the hole then you can do no more. I get it is a pain and happened to me in my match at the weekend where I thought it was in, and on one occasion was on the way to pick it up!

Yes exactly. The day prior, my putting was insane. This time, I was effing and jeffing like Tyrrell Hatton. But what can you do?

Nothing other than suck it up and send a memo to the golfing gods that they owe you a couple

Might this be something to do with the weather we've had over the last few months. Loads of rain, then pretty much none at all in the last few weeks. There's clearly been little grass growth. My own course has noticeably worse greens than usual at the moment.

I really dislike that the Masters gets R2D points awarded by the ET

With the very hot weather at the weekend it was noticeable that there appeared to be a lot of seed heads on the grass which made them slower than they had been recently.

Just found out one of our golfing group has had a stroke and in St Georges.

A certain someone can just turn up at proper DPWT events knowing the R2D is already in the bag

Finding out that an old friend (part of the same team GB in my younger days) got to play Augusta on Monday

The fist fight (recorded) between groups of AMs at West Kelowna Two Eagles Golf Course. Seems like a slow day and one group hits into another although that's not on film

Too much swearing to post a link but its on yt and elsewhere

The fact that you still cannot buy a Callaway Elyte 5 hybrid (not even directly from Callaway) but 3 and 4 hybrids are available and have been since release.

All four models (3-6H) are available in the Elyte X range and have been since release....it is only the Elyte where the 5H is not available and wont be until Monday 21st.

Why?

County Golf sending a set of gloves instead of a belt as ordered. Unusual as they usually pretty good but way off the mark

Shot a 38 at the weekend not in the prizes. Three (3) all on 42. You don't know them but I do. They've been picking up all winter. I'll be watching their scores through the summer.

 

[Crazyface]

You can't do that! You have to be outraged and post on social media sites. Common sense is not allowed in modern society.

Sometimes you just don't get close enough to the group in front to ask to be let though. Two blokes I used to play with were constantly checking behind us, and if there was anyone a whole hole behind they would start on their, "shall we let them though" carp, instead of getting a bluddy move on!

 

[Mandofred]

Golf....just golf. Today, crap. Tomorrow?......I'll let you know.

If I don't play well on Saturday I'll be up to 16.8 I believe. It's absolutely sky-rocketing at the moment, and I'm not even playing badly - shooting 33 or 34 points a few times but they're not quite good enough to be counting scores.

I recently played Aylesbury Vale, but their course ratings have been slashed the same as my home course has. I shot 89, and it's not a counter, despite the fact my previous round there of 90 last year is still counting. Same at my home club, I've shot 84 last week, not counting, but an 85 from September is.

Pretty hard to get my handicap back down when they keep moving the goalposts further away!

And the best score I got recently I couldn't put in because I only played with my wife who's not on England Golf. So annoying to see your handicap go up like a helium balloon when you know that's not right at all.

Do you follow him online or something? Every four days you're irritated by something he's said that most of us have happily not seen. Maybe block him?
