You think that's bad, I overheard another group the other day with one guy telling another his ball was "over there, by the sand pit".

Yet many don't think the game is already bifurcated. The fact that they use equipment only a very few non pro's could use pretty much proves the point really.

Because its not. The equipments conforms to the rules, which is what matters.

my shovels were due this weekend, just had the call from the pro, there is a shortage of Project X LX shafts, so going to be late in coming, could be up to 2 weeks

Trying to get some short game work in. Bloody cold and dark far too early. Add in the recurring irritation of regular Saturday golfers not getting a game as it's fastest finger first to get tee times and slots being booked by members and guests. Hopefully we aren't allowing members guests or visitors from 1st November so there should be more spaces

I had to cancel my custom fit order with Mizuno as the lead time went from 3 weeks to 11, "with luck".

The excuse was delays with China, OK but UST Mamiya shafts are produced in Bangladesh.

As I had already sold my previous set I had to buy off the shelf and got a retro fitting with the club builder/repairer I have used for years.

My fellow driving range goers turning up with a bag of old balls (commando, dunlops, topgolf!!). Nothing worse than those balls being recycled and ending up in my basket next time!

Don't you love seeing a non-range ball in the middle of the bag. Usually turns out to be a real cast off that flies even more poorly than the range balls. Not a lot you can do though other than simply chip them back out if you don't want to give them a proper smack

The terms “gamer, games, gamed” referring to the clubs you play - why? Because that clown Crossfield says it repeatedly no doubt! It’s almost as bad as using US phrases such as “on point”. I’m sure it sounds fine in the US but in the UK I think it just sounds weird coming from someone from the UK ?

Have lost the ability to swing the club. It doesn't feel right on the way back, pretty sure the left knee is collapsing and getting stuck on the way down. Aside from that I don't think my game is too bad

Very random one, the blustery wind this evening was not from the usual prevailing directions and blew my foam practice balls about a bit at times ??

We brought in carry only from yesterday which is annoying enough but you deal with it

9 hole comp today tee off 12:34

Course closes 12:00 after some rain

Appreciate it's been very wet but it's suppose to be links style they really need to address the drainage issues

Pockets are deep enough on mine, but only the left hand one has a button. Why not button both so that you have a choice which one to use, rather than struggle buttoning one on the awkward side.

Don't understand why golf trousers would have button up back pockets anyway (apart from waterproofs)

What is "links style"? At the end of the day, however much it looks like a links in summer, the holes will only play like a links if they are build on sand.

So that you can secure scorecards that otherwise want to ride out of your pocket.

Lol thanks Homer, that gave me a chuckle

Got a day leave tomorrow and at the moment I can't be bothered playing - or indeed even asking my Mrs if I can...

I'm on 6 says off, various combinations of heavy rain and 40mph plus winds forecast throughout so no golf for me by the look of things.
Local range is closed while they upgrade it and next nearest is 40 miles away so no range either....
Been to the gym instead.

Got rained off today not by choice. Tomorrow not playing but taking the eldest to her first ever mini golf

Should be fun

Glad it cheered someone up. Watched a Danny Maude video last night which clicked -

so been rehearsing the moves at home. Hopefully off to the range tomorrow night to see if it makes a difference. If not I can see a lesson being booked with my usual teaching pro soon (subject to getting a slot as he's always booked up in advance)
