You can usually hear them with their kid or a mate as well given those golden teaching nuggets like keep your head down. I find if you make the mistake of getting the bay next to them they start offering you help as wellMy swing must be great as I have never had that - or it is so bad it is beyond any help

the best one I heard was 2 yoofs in the bay next to me getting their mate to call a shot shape when they at the top of their backswing and then claiming they could hit that shape. As I never heard their mate say "complete mishit" then I don't think they were succeeding
They were also claiming to hit forum distance, and further, with all clubs but I never saw evidence of that

Why not ?
She is very genuine on social media , and her reaction is the exact reaction you would expect from her , just being polite and getting on with it
Here is the instagram link - read the comments

It's just obvious. This sort of thing is rife all over social media, set-up videos pretending to be genuine interactions - they give themselves away by going on too long. In reality she'd have just said "I'm just rehearsing a swing change - I'm actually a PGA professional" and that would have been the end of it.

It was me in the next bay and it wasn't set up. I was genuinely trying to help her. Wish I hadn't bothered now

This is one of the biggest problems with all SM...you've no real idea if something like this is genuine or not....
As a result I tend to ignore 99% of it...

Reminds of the pro singer who happens to be passing a busker singing their song, and then starts a duet. Conveniently all caught on camera. Coincidence, honest guv

It’s obvious if you have cynical view on everything and everyone when it comes to social media , think it’s clear when you see set ups on social media but if you watch her then this isn’t a set up , her mannerisms very clear and polite and she just wants to get on with her range work
There will be plenty of set ups with social media but reading through comments and knowing some that are near her in Rainford - she always comes across as genuine
But it does highlight the cynical world many live in now

There is one absolutely classic one that I saw promoting a song - the guy would play/sing his song on the street and have a sign up saying that he was looking for guitar players to see who could do the best guitar solos. He would always look so shocked when they were good, but they were always on social media with tens of thousands of followers of their ownReminds of the pro singer who happens to be passing a busker singing their song, and then starts a duet.

My 56 wedge has been handed in , one of the greens keepers found it after a few days.
That saves me getting a new one

Should this be in the irritations thread?

Oh no it's very much a good thing . The Garmin sensor on it was £30 on its own and I'd of wanted to match it to my 60 so might have been 2 new wedges
I like my wedges

That's great news, I personally don't think that things get handed in as much as they used to do.

Agreed - it’s a classic staged video in my opinion.

Our course is proper flooded. There is a video doing the rounds of a stream that has appeared from one lake to the other, never seen before. On a positive our fuddle has managed to get into Bondhay and College pines next week. Not picked a Club up for three weeks by the time I have played a provisional next week.
