Golf Random Irritations

[cliveb]

As I've mentioned before, if a change is so minimal as to not require a change of name, is that change worthwhile? Why do it?
Applies to clubs and balls..and anything else for that matter.

If you're not an elite player, all changes to clubs and balls are basically of no consequence.
In order to encourage the average club golfer to buy new clubs (which they don't need), they have to change the name.
There is no such need to encourage them to keep buying balls - they are consumables, so the name can stay unchanged.

just managing to go to all square on 14, when slow day pulls one left off the tee on 15, hits the edge of the new LH bunker and takes a big bounce right, get down there the ball is 6 inches from the hole, my drive that was down the middle is in the bunker

The bloody weather, frozen solid here and looks like no let up.
Was wanting to give my new trolley a run out as well ?

Ever noticed how we're always told that we shouldn't upgrade our kit every year as the gains will me minimal?
Recall how we're told we should change drivers every 3-4 years, irons every 5-6 or whatever the numbers are...
Ever noticed that all the YouTubers who review clubs always change the contents of their bags every year ..?

Fortrose was closed, covered in snow and frozen over.
Inverness has been closed for weeks now, no let up in sight!!!

played Nairn on the weekend and we had s few full greens on, but monday was back on winters, today closed for snow.

can't see the Inverness courses opening any time soon... went though the Kings yesterday and it looked like most of it had gone.... but will be back to sq one after last nights flurry.


nothing as bad as this weather wise in 10 years

Left the lid loose on my Sharpie 'mini' that stays in the golf bag & it totally dried out. Shame as it still had a lot of life left in it

I'll support my local pro-shop for a replacement though (instead of funding the corporate online giants, use them or lose them )

edit; this isn't the exact one but it looked exactly like this:

I've got two of those. OMG they last for ages!

They 'should' last for ages

To be honest I haven't totally ruled out foul play because I'm pretty careful when replacing the lid (I like to hear it go 'click')

As sabotage goes, it’s not up there with the most evil. ??

Phew...
Hopefully that'll put your pro's mind at rest for the next few mortgage payments ??

Don't get me wrong I'm gonna haggle, I mean its still money!

I have that one! In purple as well. I must have had it in the bag two years at least, still going strong.

I'd urge you to be vigilant & look after yours, you never know what's round the corner

I take my cap off to you - just hope I remember to put it back on again ??

I wonder if we could get Netflix to start a new detective series (possible murder mystery??) about this. I'd watch it. I'd like to know who messed with your marker. Then something like "the Spanish Inquisition" could pounce and get em' good.

Would the same have happened if you had bought an orange one?

Maybe if it smelled "orange...y"
