Golf Random Irritations

[HomerJSimpson]

Pulled the curtains open at first light to see very dark overcast sky and wet ground (Tues&Thurs are my range days before work) Still I’d already said I’d drop my wife off at her work on way to range so I couldn’t back out
Amazed to get bucket of range balls and 50+ chips done in the dry before heading to putting green. But only a dozen putts in and the heavens opened big style and sitting in office now it’s still coming down

Still, it should get the reservoirs back over the 50% mark but annoyed I couldn’t finish off what was turning out to be a productive practice session

Little and productive will always beat long and aimless

Anything used properly will do the job, and lazy people will always be the ones causing the issues

The same ones that don’t repair pitch marks , divots and rake bunkers

Agreed, or “fix” pitch marks in the wrong way.

Yes fixing them wrong is bad as well , do appreciate the effort

I'm all for junior golfers but you can walk faster than 0.5mph whilst talking to your fellow players and everyone doesn't have to visit everyone elses ball prior to playing a shot.

Depends how they are being educated and supervised.

That’s pretty much how the seniors play at my place. It’s even worse when they have carts. And even worse when it’s a mixed group playing from different tees.

I'm sure that would be an irritation if it was the case here.
Fortunately all our seniors are good humoured, even tempered and fast moving.

Must be the only club in the country then

Golf Clubs who advertise Opens on Golf Empire, but still want you to print out the entry form and post it with a cheque.

Strewth, I can't tell you when I last wrote a cheque

Not sure I even have a cheque book in the house. If I do no idea where

Same here

Have they asked you to cross it as well and place it in an envelope sealed with wax

 

[Crow]

I like cheques.

I often wonder, on top of personal losses that can't be reclaimed, how much of their/our money banks lose in repaying account holders who have fallen victim to scams made possible by the ease of on-line purchases?

 

[IanM]

Bank fraud isn't a new thing because of technology. You can now shut stuff down quicker than you used to be able to

Scammers always scam, they just migrate to alternative methods

Isn't that the same for handicapping?

You don't know how much either then.

I retired 2 years ago, last worked for a major Bank 9 years ago, and if my data was up to date, I still wouldn't be allowed to tell you!

But I think it all started falling apart with the introduction of graphite shafts and metal woods!

 

[AussieKB]

Banks do not lose money, it is passed on to us in the way of charges etc.

That’s got high and to the right written all over that golf shot the lad in the pictures playing

Most seem to love it...I hate it..
The Build Up to a major sporting event....right now it's The Masters.
Love the 4 rounds, quite like the Par 3 contest..everything else can go in the bin.
Watching players on the range, chatting and speculating on scores, who's going to play well etc etc etc.....just No.
Waste of time for me....can't be doing with any of it.
