Golf Random Irritations

[jim8flog]

I know I've mentioned this before (sorry!) but why don't some open organisers publish the results? I won't name the club but I had to chase them twice to get anything at all, and then it was just a list of the top three with their prizes.
I don't care who won, and I don't care what they won, I don't know those people - I want to know where I came in relation to everyone else.
I've fed this back to the club and, to be fair to them, they did reply. They just said "we don't do that"! OK, I'll enter somewhere else next time.

I used to get annoyed with clubs that said the result was published on How did I do.
If your club used another ISV you could not get on to HDID.

Managed to hit one behind the net in my warm up on Saturday.

Happens all the time at ours, but you can just pull the net up by hand and get the ball out again.

Warming up at Aldwickbury on Friday, one of my shots hit a horizontal piece of wood at the top, bounced back to me and I caught it!

Stylish. Did you have an audience?

We see sending the results as the ‘completion’ of the Open for participants. We send a complete results list, stating who won what prize/amount and which club they from. We also send marketing information to every organiser of the team with information of next year’s Opens.
If that doesn’t happen, it shows a poor attitude to the entrants and a lost marketing opportunity.
I take quite a bit of pride, when manning the registration desk, from being told ‘We like coming here, it’s a great course and really good organisation’.
