Golf Random Irritations

[moogie]

I’ve only played 20 holes since November but my pull left with the driver has reared its ugly head again since I’ve got back playing. It’s not as bad as it was a couple of years ago but still destructive which has led to a few lost balls. Hopefully playing more often will get rid of it On a more positive note my last drive of the day on 9 was one of the best I’ve done all year

And.....you beat Kraxx

Well I guess there is that small detail

12 fairways and a first cut with driver yesterday only to miss six from six 3ft putts!

Are you Callum Shinkwin in disguise?

The weather. No rain for nearly a week and the course is partially open with more holes being added as the days go by. Until tomorrow, when a band of rain moves down from the North West. At least it moves down as far as the North East and then the weatherman is predicting it just stops and sits over us for 24 hours dropping all that lovely water on us, thus ensuring that we will be back to square one.

People who book on BRS, then don't bother to take their names off when they decide not to play.

Neither of the two groups in front of us bothered to turn up yesterday morning, but both lots left their names on the system. Which is great from a selfish perspective in that there was no prospect of us being held up at all, but annoying in that a) we could have started 20 minutes earlier and b) the sheet was full all morning so potentially 8 people who might have wanted to play were denied the opportunity.

Tell me about it.

Played my best golf in months yesterday, was really buzzing for Tuesday's game, then looked at the forecast, tipping it down for the next 3 days. Another closure on the way.

This happens at our place too. The amount of times BRS is full but when you get to the course the car park is almost empty. ends.

Is there no penalty for a booked tee time no show?

Needs reporting to the pro shop and warnings given

Bunker rakes, the handles are plastic coated and are too hot to hold just now

We've done so.

It's worse in the winter - there are no formal comps on, so players don't need to clock in at the shop before going out. Add in less tee times because of daylight hours, and booking for a Saturday in January can be harder than it is in mid-summer.

Not at present. There ought to be something in place where one of the group lets the pro shop know that you are here, but there isn’t.

 

[Crazyface]

Sort of opposite at my place. He's no bookings showing yet you get there to see a group on the first fairway and a group waiting to tee off.

No-one in the UK cares for your problem right now!

Just do what loads of folks over here do, and don’t bother using them

What happens on the range stays on the range .. if it’s good. If it’s rubbish then it follows you like a bad smell.

Tried the Odyssey Versa 7 again today, and I have no idea if I prefer it to my old putter or not - results don't seem noticeably different. How do you decide these things??
