Golf Random Irritations

4 1/2 hours to play greensomes this morning in the comp. Played in sixes, so mainly a 3 ball, with 6 drives. Raining, sure, but mind numbingly slow.
We were 3rd out, so the pace was set by the first 6. Pace might be the wrong word. It implies making progress.
Later groups were 4 3/4. Insane.
 
Four putting

Two persistent slow play offenders being put together for Captains Day (they are brothers and the captain wanted to try and give people groups of their usual playing partners) - they were over two holes behind the group in front and we were playing a shorter (and arguably easier) course off the yellows. At least I won £10 as I had a bet with someone that they would lose 2+ holes
 
Playing awful in the 9 hole comp then finishing the 18 with a good score on the back

Out of no where aswell my driving been constant fairways ...... Got a nice pull hook
 
Rob Lee whining on Sky Sports about being picked up for the wrong colour socks at a golf club.

"I won't name the club." Damn right you won't, you're in the wrong for breaching the dress code, whether you agree with it of not. It's their course; live with it, join it & get the rule changed or go somewhere that accommodates your choice of sock colour. But don't try and shame them for your dress code breach.

For curiosity's sake....name the colour and name the club.

They were grey socks, short ones worn with shorts. On the bit I heard he didn't mention the club but he may have done at some point.

I think he referred to them as trainer liners trainer socks and I didn't hear the club named, as per the quote and LT. If he named it at another time then I didn't hear it.
 
I'm going to take the other view and say fair play to him. He's in a position where he can make his point heard on national TV, and that might be just what it takes to get this archaic sock tyranny consigned to the past. (y)

Lol anyone who gets there knickers In a twist over sock colour is clearly either in the past or a complete wet blanket

Fair enough but what next, the fluorescent green Borat leotard , fetching for some, but not for me:LOL::ROFLMAO:
 
Hitting a strong and totally unexpected draw off the tee and out of bounds on the left because my normal (terrible) shot is a push. Took a second tee shot and proceeded to slice it into the rough out on the right. Gave up on that par 3 in the end.

You are talking about the club who has this rule aren't you? The ones who have a specific objection to a widely used style of sports sock based on colour alone? I agree, they are living in the past??
