Golf Random Irritations

inconsiderate and a moron for parking in the wrong spot, surprised you didn't let his tyres down as well :rolleyes:

You're right - a great big sign saying "Men's Captain" and this jerk just thought he could park there regardless. Maybe you should go and do the same at your own club and see how long you stay a member. Then you can be a green fee somewhere too.

It's not derogatory at all, it's just a term used.

If I'm playing away somewhere I'm a green-fee or a guest, if I'm playing at my club I'm a member.

Either way, you don't park in reserved bays... You just don't do it ?‍♂️

Agree to an extent, you shouldn’t park in marked bays, be it at a golf club, supermarket etc but the term green fee, especially as it was used is a derogatory term. As a paying visitor I would hope to be treated as though I was a member, after all I am technically a member for the days. Clubs with members only bars, changing rooms, etc should get with times. Also, members need to realise these visitors are subsidising their fees

When we pay a green-fee, I believe that we are referred to as a temporary member for the licensing laws? We aren't members though, we are just paying visitors, sometimes with our own esteemed car park, bar and changing area (if we haven't already changed in the car park ?).

I am quite happy to refer to myself as a green-fee at another club, it's just a description to me that gives a bit of leeway if a telling off is in order (playing off the back tees for example, "Oh sorry I didn't know, I'm a green-fee") ?

I tend to go with 'visitor' as it sounds more friendly. Or like an alien, depending on which way you look at it.

I am a so called green fee and make a habit of parking in Men's Captain's bays for fun....some jerk even blocked me in yesterday!

Do you mean someone that keeps your annual subs down? Or a member for a day? It's not quite clear.

He was a visitor yes and I've since found out that he was told by one of the shop staff to go and move his car - and he just ignored them and went to tee off regardless. Grade one muppet.
 
Lesson today and whilst it was tough I can see the purpose and it is well worth seeing through what has been suggested. With 1 minute of the lesson left I hit my 3rd successive sweet shot. That will do I thought, end on a high. The pro rolled another ball forwards ?. Scuttled it, and the next, and the next. Last one, next lesson waiting, I'm tired and anxious, slash and slice. Why did he have to roll that extra ball on the mat ?
 
Looking forward to only my second round since lockdown after a long week of work and then my daughter being a total nightmare because she’s teething so I had to stay at home to prevent a domestic meltdown! :oops:

To make sure you go back for another lesson?

A visitor deliberately parked in the Captain's space, and refused to move his car after being asked to do so by the staff. The arrogance is incredible.

We agree on that! Oh you were referring to that fella parking his car in the captains space...?
