And what is his usual score? I also imagine he gets a hefty cut which he will struggle to play to again so will now be getting 20 points for a few rounds.50 points. To match this a 14 handicapper would have to shoot level par (approximately)
Maybe the winner accidentally entered his nett scores instead of gross?
Exactly the way it should (will) happen but Trial by Social Media is much better for some
Someone has decided that "we need more women members".Not my irritations but a pals who plays at Sherwood Forest. I was out with him for a few sherbets last night and he was on about his course. He has been there decades. When he joined it was a tough tough course. Since the tornado went through a few years ago and smashed down loads of trees. Someone or somebodies have made the decision to take down hundreds of trees. And they are still taking them down. A lot of them are mature oak trees that have been there hundreds of years. Members are asking if there is tree preservation orders on trees on the approaching road. Is there not any on the course. The clubs response is that it is a heathland course. Members say as much as it is a Heathland course, there is also a clue in the golf clubs name what it is.
On top of that he was saying that the committee has had a meeting to discuss womenās membership. It is not a high womenās membership number. They have passed a motion to allow 20 women to join without paying a ā Joiningā fee. It has not gone down well at all with members mentioning āequalityā. Itās not just that they have passed the motion, but they tried to keep it quiet. The committees thoughts were that both Coxmoor and Hollinwell do not have joining fees for women.
The peasants are revolting at Sherwood.
Yeah it's obvious from my post that I know clubs are ALLOWED to do that.
Iād agree. If a club that is looking for new members has failed to achieve a ācritical massā of female players then they might prioritise this, as such a lack might put off both females AND those seeking to join as a couple (1M+1F). Being unattractive to both of these groups, so only appealing to lone male golfers, would be a significant commercial disadvantage that it is sensible to remedy. If the club is at capacity already then Iād agree that the argument for different fees is harder to sustain, although as a male myself Iād find a near exclusively male environment less appealing, and many others would feel the same, so the argument still holds.
Won't be cut, this was in a senior's section organised competition. Not qualifying (qualifying scores are suspended over winter at our club).
.No trial from me, I am pleased for him, but it just makes me not want to bother entering again as I would need to play better than I have ever done, and still wouldn't get near that score!!!!!
I initially selected a like, then thought that it might be interpreted differently to how I meant it to convey support. I really like the rules threads but the only currently live one is just rotating around some entrenched views.
I guess as a consumer most people donāt know who owns them or who invests in themPeople going on about "sportwashing"/LIV/Rick Shiels "sell out" etc. without having any qualms with the fact that PIF's investment portfolio is so vast that they are very likely using plenty of products/services that "backed" by PIF.
E.g: Uber, Heathrow Airport Holdings, X/Twitter(through a holding), EA, Nintendo, Selfridges, Meta, Boeing, Disney...
