Yes but they don’t mind taking the first tee after the men’s comp.
So equality only works one way.
If they can’t just go and play with members behind them they shouldn’t be playing .
They all got off after 9 holes ,but we only got 14 holes in as it went dark.
It’s just so unnecessary, if we catch the ladies just let us through same rules for all members.

a lot of the ladies at our don't like being watched....
i remember playing in a club match one afternoon and the game finished, it was a lovely warm evening we were all out on the patio.. well 20 guys at most. on a Friday some of the ladies had a sort of roll up on the 9 hole which the tee is in view from the back bar patio, but a good 100 yards away at least. wasn't noisy in the slightest. but the women didn't want to play and sent someone over to ask us all to go in the bar while they tee'd off... most of the guys on our side's wives were in this group

Well I hope nobody moved , it’s a part of the game first tee nerves, lots of men get it to , But I have never heard a man ask for the patio to be cleared, YET.
Although this is an issue regarding the ladies.
My main complaint would be the etiquette of the men.
They knew us ,we are both single figure golfers ,we know how to conduct ourselves on the course.
I just don’t understand the problem with them and the ladies letting us through! If they are holding us up.
It’s one of the commonest thing that happen in golf so why do they think the ladies need protecting.
The ladies were two holes ahead of them , it’s pathetic.
TBH, sounds like a load of box locks.... making and excuse for the slow play and not letting you through

Played a quick 9 hole loop, 1-6 then 16-18. It was wind and rain but went 3 under my handicap, no doubles and a few pars. Was v happy with some of my decision making, when I put myself in trouble not trying to fly everything at the flag, between trees etc and working to put the ball in places I can chip and putt from, paid off, enjoyed it
Ended up paying Godstone as my mates dad couldn’t make it!
It was muddy, very muddy!
Shot an 82 for 40 points so it could've been worse

Fragger and CVG in tow....
There's a tee booking system for Sunday mornings so no non-booked starts before 11.30
We rocked up and walked straight into the first tee for 11.20...nobody about so off we went.
There was a group 2-3 holes ahead that we didn't catch and another group started about 5 holes behind us.
In effect millionaires golf.....
This could become a regular time...
First time the 3 of us had played together for a while so the banter was flying
I had a good front 9 after a blob on the first and turned with 19 points to Fragger's 16 and CVG's 13
Once on the back 9 the wind started getting up more and the scores faded a bit but still respectable
Teed off on the 15th and the rain came.
Finished the 16th, which is right next to the clubhouse, and decided to call it a day as it was getting really quite unpleasant out there
I finished with 31 points from the 16 played which included 2 blobs - so quite pleased with the scoring when I scored.
Not sure what the others scored but it wasnt 31

Another good day on the Hotchkin.
Won my pairs Matchplay 6&5, we were 6 up on the turn, 4 x excellent gross pars on the front 9, 1 x double bogey, 3 x bogeys and 1 x NR for 19 points.
We shook hands on the 13th, I lost my concentration on a couple of holes after we’d won but I finished strongly to help not allowing our opposition to win a single hole and finish with 35 points ?
Still working on a few things which should be ironed out over the winter in readiness for the competition season.

Did you get away with missing the rain, it started when I was nearly home.
Anyway I walked round the Hotchkin today ?
My driving was crap. Took out a new mavrick. Oh how I hate you mavrick. Chucked it back in the shop within seconds of walking from the 18th green.
I can’t remember driving so bad.
We did matchplay today 3 down after 4. Got it back to level after 7. Then lost the next 5 holes.
Got it back and lost 2&1.
Result ?

The rain started as we were taking our 2nd shots on 18, so pretty much missed it.
Thankfully got round in under 4hrs even though it was busy out there.
Course was bone dry, amazed how much 13th green had dried as that was drenched last week.

I see Soderberg completed his final round in the Dubai Desert Classic in 96 minutes!
Played on his own and ran between shots, can’t see the comparison your trying to make?

No comparison, I was just saying.

Weird few days. Had a lot going on off course (hence my incommunicado status - a welcome break for some no doubt). Played on Friday in "midweek" comp. Head all over the place with what's been going on and checking the phone most holes for updates. Not conducive to good scoring and really didn't have any idea of what was going on in terms of playing with any purpose. Stand there and hit it for a miserable 29 points all told
Played in the Saturday roll up and a little more in tune with life and my golf and going steadily until a mini-collapse towards the end. Still managed a reasonable 32 points. Played a pairs knockout yesterday. Had been arranged for a while and the last day to get the game played in time. Giving 1 and 7 shots to the opposition. I played brilliantly, especially in terms of putting and was knocking ridiculous lengths of putts to halve or win holes. We got to 3 up at one stage as a result then lost 7 to net par and 8 to birdie. All square playing 14 and the guy getting 7 shots was struggling. Off the green left after 4 (net 3) with both of us around ten feet away with par putts. He thins the chip that would have run over the green but hits the hole and drops. 5 net four and we miss our par putts so one down. He repeats the dose at the next with a putt from around 35 feet that was careering at least 15 feet past but hits the flag and drops. Two down. To rub salt in the wound I then hit a putt on 16 to make a half and it hits the flag at far less pace and stays up! Lost 2&1 but had approximately 38 points with my own ball. My partner didn't really turn up at all and did feel like it was 2 v 1 most of the time. Having said that we win as a team and lose as a team and there have been times when I'm sure he'd felt the same. Just annoyed at how it panned out and the win was so close
Good news is the issues are being sorted, golf seems to be in a good place and back on line. Roll on the weekens

I forgot to mention we were held up on Saturday as well. Three of us who normally get round in 3:30-3:40 ish, took 4 hours 10 mins. A four ball in front of us, we caught them on the 8th and were waiting for them the whole way round. Seemed to be putting out everything, no matter how close, even though they were playing off yellows so clearly not in the competition. On one of the par 3s, they cleared the green (or so we thought), I was just about to tee off, then one of them emerged from the trees on the left, dropped a ball and then proceeded to finish the hole on his own, a good 5 minutes after the other three had cleared the green! Didn't even look back to acknowledge us let alone apologise. Utter clowns. We should have had a word at the end really, but by the time we totted up our scorecards and handed them in they had gone. Quickest they moved all day.

My first post on this topic. For a bit of context I’m a relative beginner to the game having only taken it up about six months ago.
Played The Oaks in Carshalton yesterday and shot my usual 119 ( I seem to shoot exactly that every time I play there at the moment!). We were behind a fairly slow competition group but still got round in under four hours.
Parred the first and had the ball roll off the lip of the cup on the second to just miss out on a birdie on that hole.
The rest was a mixed bag of ok shots interspersed with terrible ones and the odd fairly decent one.
Despite my score not changing it felt like a really good round in general where my putting had improved and I understood why I duffed shots here and there. The one to one coaching I’ve been doing definitely helps.
Up until the 13th I’d not lost a single ball and then proceeded to hit my usual sliced drive to lose a few out of bounds. Oh, and my mate managed to snap his 5 iron in half when he underestimated how close he had parked his trolley and hit it with a full swing!
All in all a reasonable session and the rain stayed off too.
