Golf Random Irritations

[Orikoru]

A medium jumper ordered, made by Adidas, arrived and it's absolutely massive. Who is in charge of sizing at Adidas? This is definitely a large. Can't exchange for a small either as they don't have that in stock. Waste of postage money returning it now because Adidas have no idea how to size things properly.

When you arranged golf 5 weeks ago to fit around half term only for 1 to drop out last minute as he’s played golf 4 times this week and his better half isn’t happy and he wants to play in the Saturday comp

I’d report him. Too much golf and cheesed off wife are his problems, he should not make them yours.

report him to who?????

…and so…with three shortened holes (with same par) and winter rules in place, I see that the Thursday Stableford rollup (vast majority playing in it being 13+ handicap) has winner on 46pts…with three on that score, and 17 scoring 40+. Usual winning score is 41-43pts.

Now I don’t play in these sort of comps to win, but I like to think I have a chance. I’ll maybe give it a go next Thursday to see how I get on…but I have a feeling I’m not going to bother thereafter.

report him to who?????

…in my club it would be the golf manager or competition secretary.

We’d booked a p&p course but the other 2 manned up and played

After playing well yesterday, today I was spraying it like a blind man at a urinal

Played in my new FJ hydroknit trousers today as there were a few showers forecast early on. They never arrived thankfully. However, the day warmed up somewhat and I perspire a little, the trousers became a little clingy. What I didn't bargain for were the little air pockets that formed and the ensuing occasional 'farts' that popped out due to the flexible fabric. Not a side effect anyone mentioned in the reviews! ?

No mate...thats just you

When similar happened to me the actions of the other guy made it quite possible that we’d both be DQd from the comp for missing the ‘play by’ date. So I reported what had happened to the golf manager asking if we could have an extension. No - was the answer.

Had the same thing with their 365 shorts - 3 inches bigger than labelled - ridiculous.

Another seniors comp yesterday morning, which sadly meant lots of unraked bunkers and lots of in repaired pitch marks.

With adidas I’ve realised that US medium is much larger than European medium. A lot of their golf gear is made for the US market so I have to order small. If it’s a non golf top (eg football) then it will be European sizing so order medium.

Easier to try on in a shop instead of online roulette ?

Agree the B&M stores will quickly die if not used (& I don't think that's a good thing)

I actually missed that it was a casual round so wouldn’t report.

That said, when a round is booked a good bit in advance to enable one of a pair to play, I don’t think it fair to that player for the other to pull out for such as the reasons given - leaving the other player hanging and possibly not able to arrange a game.

Went double bogey free through 35 holes at the weekend and then doubled the last with a 3 putt ?
