Golf Random Irritations

Being asked to join a roll up tomorrow knowing they only play twelve holes and on a swamp of a course (aren't they all at the mo) and having to use a mat off the fairway. LOL That won't happen once clear of the clubhouse !!! LOL
You'll probably be back on here in the spring/summer complaining about the state of your fairways :rolleyes:
 
Teeing mats that you can't actually get a bloody tee into. So your options are to hit your seven iron with the ball 2cms off the ground, or forego the tee altogether and tee it off the deck. :(
 
Why do you need to tee up a 7i on a mat? Just chuck it down and hit it?
Was just a random example. I did hit irons off the mat in the end but don't like hitting off mats, hence why I don't go to the driving range much. With hybrids I had to use the tee with it about a cm too high.
 
Watching the golf from Pebble. Nick Taylor, leader, has a Taylormade clunky putter. Big alignment aid. Lines his ball up, with an inked line pointing at the line of the putt. The line on his putter doesn't point in the same direction as the line on the ball. He then pulls the xxxx out of it anyway. Has done this all day.
Pet hate. People who spend ages lining stuff up, badly.
 
Exactly Homer, surely some clever person could invent a re-useable/adjustable tee of some kind, like a big embedded sponge thingy ,for mats :confused: Edit like florists use ??

You mean floral oasis (my mum was and my wife is exceptionally good flower arrangers so I know what you meant). Very cheap https://www.amazon.co.uk/CRAFTY-CAP...ocphy=9046111&hvtargid=pla-421724939401&psc=1 but I wonder how resilient to be left out on a tee box. I wonder if there could be a way to get a small chunk in the pro shop and then break bits off as needed
 
Inexpensive option- buy a packet of polos ?

Or Trebor mints, they have a concave surface, or Haribo snakes curled up, or red wine gums upside down, a packet of marsh mallows, or a voll o Von from your packed lunch, feed the birds on your way round. ???
 
New GAPR meant to be arriving tomorrow, but golf is rained off this weekend due to the horrendous weather. Guess I'll be baptising it at TopGolf then... :confused:
