We have The County Strokeplay @our Club this weekend. 4 rounds. All the top players in The County with the winner going to Woodall Spa for the finals.
We have rules re no trolleys inside greenside bunkers and no trolleys to be taken on the tee. Went to watch earlier and 90% took them both inside and on the tees. Total disrespect to our Club and at that level should know better

Paul McGinley.
I used to like him, and it may just be that, with age, I am becoming increasingly grumpy.
But boy, is he irritating.

Standing on the last 3 over gross with nothing worse than a bogey on the card, and finish with a double thanks to two idiots who seemed to not realise there was a golf course beside them or that they were having a lovely chat 10 feet from a pin someone might have wanted to play towards. They had just played the course you’d think that would have been a clue?
I’m ok. I’m ok. It’s ok. I’ve a fridge full of beer and the US Open. Things could be worse. I’m ok.

The EG golf app not having courses in Scotland set up. Not having a go just an irritation and shooting a good round to boot.

The fact that I've backed Rahm for most majors in the last two years, but this time I didn't because he was only 9/1 and I only wanted to put a couple of quid on. And that Bryson ruined my bet on him, Rory, Rahm & Koepka to all make top ten, by quad bogeying the 17th like a prize idiot. Reinforcing that I really should stop bothering to bet on golf. Or better yet, perhaps I should lump on Reed every time to kill his career stone dead.
Apologies, too good to miss this. Just ponder what EG stands for ?.
Weather has been good for your holiday. Hopefully it will last, I'm playing Foxton tomorrow.

On the positive side they will all be repairing pitchforks unlike the majority of the average club golfer.

Not so sure about that - played in a county champs and the amount that ignored pitchmarks , didn’t bother to replace divots of fill in divots on tees far outnumbered the average club golfer - many of them ignored them all

Opposite to what I have seen over the years when I bothered to make up the numbers in these sort of comps.
Maybe things have changed, not played in them for 4 or 5 years now.

I agree with L Phil. Not what I saw. I will repeat they had total disrespect for our Club. Did not realise you were at a standard SP to play at that level. Next you will be telling me you used to give John Longcake 2 shots!! You wish

That's really not good if that was the case, would expect better.
Maybe all the younger guys playing these days need a good kick up the arse if they are treating the course like that.
I only played in those events for a cheap couple of rounds of golf. Only got to 4 at my best so never going to beat John, even in my dreams ?
In fact the last time I played was at Ulverston a few years back when it was the hottest weather I've ever played in.

LOL I get that, but you'd think that EG would list all courses. I'm spending the day in Berwick today and working on persuading the wife it would be a good idea to play Magdalene Fields on Wednesday
I know, it was a glib comment but it was an open goal ?. You are right though, daft that the systems are not joined up. Good luck in persuading your wife. We have to make hay whilst the weather is good.

Of course they should.
And since this is a WORLD system, they'll need to include all the courses in places like Timbuktu, Outer Mongolia, etc.

uneven tee boxes. This gives me nightmares

Ours appear to be completely different turf and grass at the minute for some reason. And they are leaving them quite long. Very annoying.
Also, is anyone else finding that many holes are in poor condition. We seem to be suffering with lots of holes having the edges pushed in/damaged.
Speaking to another member there is a feeling that a lot of people are using their putter to scoop their ball out of the hole. Which is something I've witnessed once this year.

Your club should demand that the county organisers read the riot act to all the players.

We've got a Clutch Pro Tour event at our place, yesterday & today.
So the course is busy upto about 3pm, although they are only teeing off until 1pm.
It's annoyed a lot of people as it means they can't get on the course on their usual day & can't get courtesy at another local course, because it isn't a county event.
Having looked at the scores I don't know why half of them bother entering - absolute crap most of them, surely they'd be better off getting a proper job!?!

Losing a match 1 hole, when it’s the first time you’ve been down in the whole match....
whats even more annoying is that it idnt that uncommon, as SI of last two holes is 5 and 7. I often seem to find myself giving 7-9 shots.
