I guess this one could go both here and in the golf things that gladdens your heart.

Random Groups being allowed out in the middle of a competition

I understand you are entitled to your own irritation. But what difference does it make if you are playing in a comp and another group isn’t? Even if we were playing in the same group what does it matter?

Rained off after 9 holes, rain stops 10 minutes later once we've changed... , no more rain for next four hours

the tee was booked out for a competition

So what? Some time ago there was a women's comp at our place with a shotgun start a 9 am. We booked 1330, with management's approval, hoping that it would be finished - it wasn't. Nevertheless it was so strung out that we were able to play the first four holes with nobody in sight in front or behind. On 5 we saw a group ahead so decided not to bother them in any way by jumping on to 9, 8 was just teeing off. At which point a buggy borne woman appeared and berated us for being on the course during their comp. Same response - so what? We had had zero impact their play, our offence was simply being there.

thats all well and good but we're only a 9 hole course and as they "missed their tee time" they should've been told to wait until after we had all started our 2nd 9

Your fuller report on the problem leads me to totally withdraw my response.

 

[sunshine]

They seem to be in a hurry to play yet don’t want to play through, it seems a bit odd to me. Anyway we’ve managed to put a hole’s distance between us so I think we are good

If you're busy writing messages on the forum to keep everyone up to date on your round, it's no wonder the group behind is waiting on you

that's not the attitude - we need to spend the next 10,000 pages arguing!

.....when you're finally trying to get a round of golf organised after all this terrible weather, and 1 of the lads reckons he needs to check with his Mrs before committing

What's that about?

Eh...... @Beezerk

Perfectly reasonable and normal thing to do.

He can’t answer until the jobs his good lady have given him are complete

 

[Voyager EMH]

I'm not embarrassed. I usually say, "I shall seek permission."

Far better to get the permission first rather than be in a state of permission-debt that can last for over a week and is a proverbial stick to be beaten with.

Course closed for the 11th day in a row.

 

[Imurg]

We're open with no trolley ban but with the caveat of a please carry if you can.....
Played 9 yesterday first thing and k think it was borderline whether it should be open at all....let alone allowing trolleys..
Loads of rain since and we're at the same situation.
Not convinced.........

Course closed for the 11th day in a row.

Can we play top trumps? We are on day 14 of closure.

One of my favourite trips of the year is when a friend and I go up to West Lothian GC to play in their Seniors Open, entry aged 50. We love the course, get a friendly welcome. They have just released 2024 Open dates and they have increased the age to 55 . In one way, I'm happy that I don't qualify. In other way, I'm hacked off because I can't play next year. Why change? I'm feeling grumpy.

Any more dwarves you plan on groping if you don't get into other Opens ?
