But the pro v’s must be infected- why else would they be self isolating in the rough ???
were they Gortex?Stuplidly tryng out new shoes without having worn them in walking round the garden, played 3 holes and had to hobble inEcco shoes at that, seemed really comfortable at first.
i say that as i've found the none Gortx i can wear straight from the box, where as the Gortex seem to come up an little tighter and have to wear in a bit first

They are, yes. When the blister heals I walk round the garden them before trying again on the course. Something to be aware of for next time, thanks.

I find if I take an old pair with me in my bag, the new ones fit perfectly.Stuplidly tryng out new shoes without having worn them in walking round the garden, played 3 holes and had to hobble in
If I forget to bring a spare old pair, the new ones will start to rub at the most distant part of the course.

I've heard of this but never seen it. Sounds very archaic

Although based on a post from traminator the other day, there's plenty of people playing Haste Hill at the moment.

Spotted a shiny new tp5x when I played on Sunday, was out in the open, too much temptation. Used it a few holes later and made birdie. Worth dying for.

Officially only open tomorrow. There were people playing there but not golf, some blokes were pictured playing bowls on the practise green.Although based on a post from traminator the other day, there's plenty of people playing Haste Hill at the moment.
I've not yet reached the heady heights of owning one of those ?
Made sure I had the first 18 hole time available for today when booking on Wednesday which was 11.00. Caught a 2 ball up on 6th (and they had already let two women through). They were painfully slow and marshals had given them the hurry up as they exited 6th. We got to the 10th expecting an empty course and they were going on. Mentioned it to the assistant. Apparently they say they had entered on the app for 18 but it hadn't taken the booking correctly. That'll be because on HDID and our club website booking system it had my name. Assistant couldn't be bothered and said it'll be our word against theirs. Yes but you and the office are running the club so you can decide who plays!
Painful back nine and three hours twenty which is totally unacceptable. Everyone time they saw us catching up they'd foresake a tee shot and drop ont he fairway. One in particular looked like a beginner but if they must be members as we aren't letting visitors on. Had a call from the GM and apparently they had "asked" to play on, been told no by the marshal and then given the pro this cock and bull. She wasn't happy and apologised and I said it wasn't her fault (my gripe would be with the assistant) and apparently there was a welcoming committee in the car park and they were given a 2 week booking ban.
Had they not held us up, and there was a gap behind they could have filtered into but it was stacking up and the group behind were catching us. It was clear what they were doing regarding dropping and clearly had simply ignored instructions. It does beg the question though how many others are doing it, especially if the course is flowing and they get to the 10th and it is free. The annoying thing is the pro shop, manning the 10th and the marshal in the buggy have the tee times so know who is due through and it would be easy to stop if it was causing issues

Wasn't sure in which thread to post this.
Popped up to a course that has a range attached with a sensible set up. As I approached the car park, there were 4 guys sitting in deck chairs having a drink & a chat! Going by they bags/trolleys it looked like "19th hole" alternative. Assume the chairs came out the boot. Resourceful.
They did look quite close to each other.
Oh go on then, I wasn't going to say but you've pulled it out of me, they looked like experienced seniors.

Maybe people find it easier to say that to her when they don't want to see her any more, rather than tell her she's a shallow narcissistic bimbo?

People who play with golf balls they cannot afford to lose. Often ProV but sometimes others. You get 3 minutes, that is it. Looking for your treasured family heirloom top flite XL200 is wearing. Give it up. It's not made of gold.

Played Monday, got stuck behind a 3 ball who had joined up away from the clubhouse. Unluckily for them, the greenkeeper was on the ball and split them up.
There's always some who think the rules don't apply.

We have had an email from our club warning that anyone seen doing this will have their membership immediately cancelled. They gave a warning email the week before and presumably some idiots thought they could get away with it. Throwing away your membership fees, being thrown out of a club, should be a pretty decent deterrent.
