I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

We played a team event today and a new birdie record for me. First time I've hit 5 birdies in one round!! I've had 4 a few times so it was really nice to birdie the 18th for my 5th of the day!!
Looks like we might have won the team comp too, so that's nice 😊
 
played a charity bash yesterday,so for a change i put my old slazengers in the bag as the yonex irons and me are rapidly falling out of love with eachother.
any way a very nice day was had including the only two players who have bona fede h/caps.ie a club member .so with that being said the pot hunters turn up and tell all and sundry who are willing to listen that they havent played for months and cant remember the last time they did play .well you guessed it ,the top four places taken up by pot hunting i dont play very often put me off 24 .yours truly had a great round which scored a very impressive 42 points ,but nowhere near the winners . but i enjoyed the day and the cause was a good one .
just irks me that people play these events to basically cheat .
rant over .
 
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...

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'
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'

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.

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 up

Invite them to a forum meet!
 
Played in an 18-hole stableford comp at the club this afternoon (75°C+)
Anyway 2 PPs I had never played with - one lady and a man whose name I recognised somehow

All going along smoothly when at the 11th he hits a driver too far right and OOB
He then goes full Hatton hitting the tee-marker with half swings with his driver..and then i realised why his name was familiar.
3 weeks ago he went full Sergio on a green after a three-putt in a comp - holes all over the dance-floor and he was asked to leave the comp o_O

... me I got 40 points and left a fair few out there :D
