Have you ever had a round you were fairly happy with and when you added it all up it just didn't look that great?
Well.... after a shocking season where I'd only managed 2 buffers out of 15 or so Q-Comps...…… that's my first Captain's Day WON!!!.... 40 pts with a blob.
Didn't see that coming
Sorry it doesn't help.... but all Clubs have them. It's the problem with drawing for playing groups. "It's more sociable" is the argument, that is until you're draw with the Club's 'knobs'Played in a board comp today medal format. Drove it well, hit irons well, putted fairly well shot a 78. But absolutely hated playing courtesy of the 2 prize knobs I played with. They were 2 older guys I've had issue with in past when playing behind them. From the off today nothing but issues, they had a buggy whilst I was carrying they would literally drive off ahead soon as they'd played barely time for me to make a swing on my tee shots. On the 1st hole one went into the fodder I helped them looked but time came so I stopped helping and went off to my ball yet they carried on till found and played on.
On the 7th par 5 my 2nd shot finished pin high but in the sprinkler head. I took the relevant relief, then got accused of taking illegal drop telling me I should play as it lies 😒.
Get to half way hut they said they werent stopping, no issue with me I went to 10th tee, they then decided to stop for a bacon roll and 2 coffees each, meaning I had to call group behind us through then got questioned why I did that. From then on during the back 9 didn't speak to me or even wait for me to play, except to ask me on the 17th why was I so slow and not keeping up, a swift reply of well when your driving off before I've teed off its hard to keep up . At the end I shook both there hands and said thanks for the game but should we be drawn together again I will be pulling out.
Had a chat with the pro who advised I had taken correct action in the 7th and duly noted their extended search on the 1st hole. Also to state if the draw ever comes out and I'm with them to automatically withdraw me from comp.
That has got to be one of the most unenjoyable rounds of golf I've ever played. Chat with a few of the lads in the bar who have had the exact same issues and also refuse to play with them...
Oh indeed I could even name the ones at my old club and not been there in nearly 10 years, seems I've discovered the ones at my new club to. If I'm drawn again I will pull out.Sorry it doesn't help.... but all Clubs have them. It's the problem with drawing for playing groups.

We have BRS booking & folk often try not to leave a space available, in case one of the Club's 'solo-knobs' sign's in with you..... booking then becomes a version of 'musical-chairs'

Yeah bad luck.Was it just luck they got drawn together?
God knows after how that went today all I know it was my bad luck. But I have an inkling them being drawn together wasn't by chance more through nobody wishing to play with them. But imo even more reason to split them upWas it just luck they got drawn together?
