Golf Random Irritations

Mixed Opens. Virtually all Greensomes. No thanks, we don't want to travel for two hours and play half a round.

Having to call in and get a Marshall to come & hurry up a 3ball of young lads who were dawdling today, I’d already asked them pick the pace up to make sure we’d get round in time, but they just took forever on every tee, and walked like it was a long summer’s day….

And....? Did they hurry up? Seems like I should be singing something from Grease.......like.....does he have a car?

They did for a few holes and we got into a nice pace without waiting, they then slowed down and we had to wait over the last few holes.

Another switch of clubs this year. Going back to my original club....and maybe keeping my second club. Oakdale is getting cut out. Knaresborough has a large practice ground.

I had to go blunt on Monday, today the payment has arrived .

We got there eventually but I won't be booking him in for future opens. It makes it trickier as most up here are 4BBB but I'll get around it and leave him to his own booking.

I was having a look on Golf Empire around Northumberland for opens.
Virtually no individual opens but some clubs have a few pairs ones.
Assume there is more money in these for clubs.

They are pretty much all 4bbb around here, Northumberland, Durham. In the same way Scotland seems to be all individual, we are all 4bbb. I presume it's trial and error and that's what fills the timesheets

If you are not seeing many yet, I think January is probably the main release time.

What area is that as I don't think we've ever come across any that are that format.

I am pretty sure that the mixed open at my club is greensomes.

I play with 2 guys at a weekend. Decent guys but one is tight. I've booked 2 opens for next year, two of the more, comparatively, expensive ones. One guy pays me within seconds of booking. The other..........

I've tried subtlety but today I've had to be blunt. It's a real shame, I shouldn't have to do that. It puts me off inviting him but it would be awkward if we didn't and played almost behind his back. Disappointing.

Hopefully, you being blunt will be a wake up call. In future, I’d still book and pay up front rather than lose the slot. Equally, I’d give him a deadline for payment but also tell him if he’s late you’ll get a sub. If he doesn’t have a consequence, he won’t rush to pay.

Every where I've looked. Where are the 4bbb you know of please?
