have they put it up £2,if you know the place you can understand the reason we asked for our money back lets face it i could play FORMBY HALL and get a brekky for £35.
Have you ever avoided paying for a round of golf?

I have played it a couple of times..... yeah it is suffering and would never have paid £55 for it ... I am sure it was £14 las time i played...
Its a pitty they ran out of money its a shame seeing a half built club house!

Ive done it, a mate told me he had a free two ball and invited me along, it wasn't until the next time he invited me that i realised he wasusing the same ticket repeatedly! Havent played with him since, god knows how many times he used it.
Think this is the reason why you have sparked a bit of reaction - not an absent-minded oversight but rather a conscious decision not to pay - very big difference!

I've never deliberately dodged paying a green fee. It's basically stealing in my book.
I did once turn up at a local course in the summer for twilight golf only to find the pro closing up. He said we couldn't go on the main course but could use the par three course for free. We managed to finish 9 holes before it got too dark to see. I've since paid to play there may times so they've probably got their money back for the free 9 holes.

I played a local course to me a few weeks back, had a 3 ball booked for 11:05 and as per norm I turned up at 11:04.
Ran to first tee and off we went. (Hit my one and only good drive on the first)
Played 18 and even had a drink in the bar afterwards, but it was when I was driving home I remembered I had forgotten to pay.
Turned the van round and went to see the pro to pay, he couldn't believe I had come back to pay, saying if I were you I would have kept on driving !!
Had a nice chat to him about the course and then paid my £30
Just as I was leaving the shop he called me back and gave me a free voucher to come back and play 18 holes at any time and thanked me for being honest and coming back to pay.
