On the bright side, you only have a few months of 0.1 increases left, embrace them while you can ??Another point 1, bowling beckons, if only I could stoop that low

Taking a complete novice out for nine hole (Homer - it was Lambert!) and him fluking a tee-shot on to the green at a par-3 meaning I had to make a five-footer just to notionally halve the hole and avoid ridicule on social media.
When folks say one of the things they like about golf is playing the same courses as the elite pros with the same equipment/ balls/rules etc (seriously not having a go)
The clubs I use are a galaxy away from what a pro hits with
The ball I use is the same size/shape and that’s where any similarity ends
Even if we’re parked next to each other in the car park I will never play the course the same as the one the pro plays
Don’t even get me started to suggest the rules are applied equally to us both
I carry a plastic bag with some antibacterial wipes to disinfect the ball after it's been in the hole. Gets the ball really clean.The continued closing off of on course ball cleaners. I understand why but I find it irrationally irritating to look down on a dirty golf ball and miss being able to clean it properly between holes.
Well the rules are the same, but if we hit one 70 yards right we lose a ball, if they do it they get 50 spectators to find it for them and a nice flat, trampled bit of grass to hit it off of.I don't get any of that.
Of course we can use the same equipment and of course the rules are the same.
No they don't - at the momentWell the rules are the same, but if we hit one 70 yards right we lose a ball, if they do it they get 50 spectators to find it for them and a nice flat, trampled bit of grass to hit it off of.![]()

Is he getting into golf? Hope he's better at golf than footieTaking a complete novice out for nine hole (Homer - it was Lambert!) and him fluking a tee-shot on to the green at a par-3 meaning I had to make a five-footer just to notionally halve the hole and avoid ridicule on social media.
Got a good record playing for the club, although usually better ball but a major triumph if I get past the first round. Never been further. No idea why as I can play some good golf but can never seem to close matches outHaving a 100% record in our knockout singles matchplay. 5 years of entering and the best I have done is last year when I lost on the 19th hole :-( Got knocked out again today, level at the turn despite being 2 under my handicap, let it slip away on the back nine. The door wa opened briefly when my opponent hooked it out of bounds, only for me to follow !!! Arghghghhgghgh!!!!!
There's always next year I suppose, just maybe I'll get past the first round, I'm not asking too much surely?
