I played with my son and 6 of his mates this morning. there is no better feeling than a game of golf with your 36 year old son!

I'm sure that feeling is reciprocal too. For meas a 30something there's no more enjoyable game of golf than with my dad. Only manage 3/4 a year but always great.

I'm glad for you both, I'm sure my lad enjoyed it too. All 6 of them should join a club and play more as they all be single figure handicappers
I wished my dad still played as we had some great times on the course

Played in the usual Sunday roll up. Not as good as yesterday and only got 30 points. The pleasing thing (if there can be a pleasing thing with 30 points) is that a few months ago that would have been 23-25 points but I am now getting more out of the bad rounds

I played yesterday and shot one over par (as a 14 handicap). This was 49 points and a combination of good play and amazing recovery putting!
the course is playing short with a few winter tees shortening certain holes, bunkers out of play (not that I hit any) and one winter green, but on the same course for the previous two weeks I shot my average of 15 over par.
Anyone ever managed to take 11 shots off their previous best score and be so close to par!?

Second time ever in a golf course this morning. 9 holes of par 3.
Turns out golf is hard.

Back from a slog around the zoo...
Fragger came along and got right royally stuffed, although he did have a 4 point lead halfway round the front 9
First few holes I felt like I hadn't played in months
No timing, no tempo, no speed, no swing - just dreadful. 5 points after 4 holes isn't the way to beat Fragger
27 from the next 14, however, is a bit more like it
Found the tempo and timing and picked the speed to play almost normally.
Not bad in the end.
Must do better tomorrow

Good day on The Links today, rather warm for this time of year. Course was in tremendous condition and the greens had all been cut fresh this morning so they were true and pure. Comfortable win in the end so all in all a good day, what will tomorrow bring.

Course was absolutely rammed today with members and green fees. I assume a lot of other local courses must be shut to get that amount of traffic. I still have concerns that many are simply walking on without paying but after my PP and I confronted a three ball yesterday and they became aggressive (but had paid as it turned out so no idea why the attitude) I decided to not bother today on my own. I met a guy from the Saturday roll up but we gave up after three holes as pace of play was processional. He bailed and went home and I ended up doing a constructive couple of hours working on my putting and chipping. Pretty sure as it was getting late some of those nipping out for 9 this afternoon about 2.00pm also didn't pay. Reported it to the club (well the captain as no-one of note or the general manager around) so doubt it'll get taken up
Maybe they had an 'attitude' because you 'confronted' them and basically accused them of stealing?

9 holes out in the lovely sunshine , well it was when it was behind us 
. Impossible to follow ball flight on 4 holes , thankfully PP's had good ball tracking and we only lost one ball.Apart from that was very enjoyable , level par

I didn't actually initiate the conversation. That was done by a former captain and my PP. He simply asked the member where his bag tag was and why the others hadn't had green fee tags on if they had come from the pro shop. Seemed a perfectly simple question but the member (none of us recognised him) was the first to get confrontational. It is a clearly stated pre-requisite that all members display a valid membership tag on their bags.

We're asked to do the same but, as I swap my bag almost as often as I swap around my clubs, I often find myself transgressing the rule as I've forgotten to swap over the bag tag.

And I totally agree especially as we've been carry only in order to try and get some play for members while it has been wet and of course it is easy to forget and leave the tag on a trolley bag. It would only have taken the member to have said something to that effect or at least been a little apologetic but he seemed aggrieved from the outset he'd even been challenged.

I ended up getting a full 18 in course was quite busy but in no way affected pace of play for me, course is in lovely shape for this time of year greens are looking great and rolling well, new green keeper has made some changes to the green keepers area, looks tidy and organised now
Apologetic because you've left a tag behind and you're getting called out in front of your guests at a place you pay £1k+ to be a member? No wonder golf struggles

You call it "calling out" but I would call it a polite enquiry. More so to the guests coming from the pro shop to the tee and not having a green fee tag.
Your first comment on this, you said confront.
That word has connotations. Changing your story or wording after people side against you Won’t change that it appears at least, like your pp made a less than polite request.
