Golf Random Irritations

[Rlburnside]

Club champs this weekend and all facets of my game have decided to take a vacation. Swing is all over the shop and can't chip or pitch to save my life. Looking forward to my lie in on Sunday as no way I can make the cut playing like this. I shouldn't be surprised as my form always nose dives in time for H4H

I'm a different mindset to you, recently I got a cut to 16.3 my lowest h/c and I was delighted but yesterday I played rubbish and only got 30 points even 3 shanks thrown in.

Got a medal Sunday and I will be thinking positive as always and try and get a cut again, I could never go into a round thinking I'm not going to play well, it doesn't always work out like that obviously but to have a negative mindset is not conducive to playing well imo.

Lucky?

I played in a 4BBB open last Saturday. We had a good score and hope to be top 3, possibly even win. The club said they would not touch the cards for 72 hours but then would deal with them, post the scores. Still waiting.........Come on, this is my one in 3yrs moment and they are dragging it out.

Same as just before a major battle. Obviously

I hope you don't come up short again this time

Why is every golf commentator besotted with saying "get into red numbers" rather than just saying 'get under par'

Aye, can add "gets underway" rather begins or starts, and "get in touch" rather than contact us.
So I'll vote for "move under par"

Clubs who don't have their membership prices on the website. So you send them an enquiry, they send you a 12-page booklet on membership benefits which still doesn't include the prices. I'm now assuming it's grossly expensive and they just don't want to put people off.

When there is no price quoted, I tend to think that is because they are open to negotiation.

A lot of clubs are still short on members and willing to make a deal. If you're looking to join now, in the middle of the subscription year, you could try asking for 16 months for the price of 12 or something like that.

Not a big fan of that either. So I could be paying one amount there and someone else who joined at a more advantageous time could be paying less? But no I'm just planning ahead for next year at the moment.

I bet they would be open to a haggle. Nearly gone bust several times, and they won't be attracting many new international members in the near future.

So you're not a fan of buying things in the sales? You always prefer to pay full price

Most clubs have a set annual subscription, clubs are reluctant to give a discount on that because the membership would be in uproar if some people were paying less than others.

But let's say you want to join a club where the subs year runs from jan to dec. If you join now and just pay a pro rata 3.5 months till the end of the year, you might leave at the end of the year to save paying for membership over winter. So the club should be looking to lock you in for 2021. But given that we are in autumn (and winter is coming), it makes sense for both parties to offer some sort of deal e.g. 15 months for the price of 12.

Where are you thinking of joining?

Grims Dyke is probably the favourite, but the one I was contacting on this occasion to get pricing was Aldenham, if their price isn't extortionate they'd be a good option.
