Got to our ninth today, it is the furthest away from the clubhouse so nice and secluded and we were greeted with all the old hole repairs dug out, and motorbike tyre marks all over it. AAAAAAAAAARGH!! if only I could get my hands on them. What is wrong with this generation of kids? I know it's not all of them just a minority of petty mindless idiots. Jail is too good for them. They can have the rest of the course if they must but they want to cause the most amount of damage possible. I just do not understand it.
 
There would be no point them doing it if it didn't cause the most amount of damage. They know how to upset people and do it to cause maximum disruption. It's totally deliberate.

I really don't understand their mindset. Each generation seems to go just one step further in the how to hack off everyone else. My current bug bear round here is teenagers in 'Halfords' up hatchbacks with very loud exhausts at two in the morning. It's not even as if thet're any quicker! It's still just a tossy 4 pot, 1000cc engine producing about 50 bhp!

Can you tell I didn't get out today!!
 
I know the course where HID works is experiencing similar problems. It is fenced off and they have gone to the trouble of unscrewing the locks to the gate to get in and then dub up the green, smashed the flag and busted the bunker rakes. I'd like to tee up one of their "two veg" and see if I can hit a 300 yard drive
 
Just be careful you don't hit it fat.........

String 'em up for a week, then stocks for another week, then send them to sit in the Commons for another week - they'll be begging for mercy.....
 
Interesting comments...

I was at a conference recently and one of the seminars started with " tell the person next to you about something you did in your youth, that you didn't tell your parents about..." In a room full of boring, staid "middle-managers", there were admissions of drugs, theft, arson, alcohol abuse, weapons abuse, burglary and much much more. Just goes to show the youth of today aren't that different to the youth of yesterday.
 
I'd agree with backwoodsman. I'm not condoning their behaviour but young people today are no worse than we were as a collective. Those that are engaged in negative activity need support, guidance and quite often self esteem rather than a good old fashioned stoning. Make a difference and volunteer to mentor a young person, I guarantee it will change your perspective.
 
Sorry mate but I'd rather take one down an ally and do to them what they do to others then they can have all the councilling they need at the hospital.

That would've been an interesting conference if Venables and Thompson were in it!! :mad: Sometimes you just can't educate pork!!

The difference is the communication available.

20 years ago you'd complain about this in the club house, then maybe to a few mates.

Now-a-days five minutes on a forum or social network site and 100s of people can see.

Things like this are not necesserally happening more now-a-days you just hear about things like this more often.

I agree with you 100%
 
surely there's a member or two in the club that knows someone, who knows someone......:D

A word of warning from the right person may be enough to stop further trouble......

and how many of them did you believe?
anything that seriously criminal (theft, arson, rape and pillage) is not likely to be admitted - if true. a lot of the rest - my black cat's blacker then your black cat.
 
The reason it seems more prevalent is the increase in the population. Since all the scum have been breeding like rabbits to get a bigger council pad there's more of them! That combined with the ridiculous overall rise in the number of people living in the UK in the last 20-25 years and it's hardly surprising there are more scum kids.

I'm 27 years old and last summer saw the reunion after 10 years of us leaving school. I can honestly say at least 40% of the girls I went to school with are now living off've the social with at least 1 illegitimate child and no stable partner about. How many of these kids are going to be up to stuff by the time they hit teenage boredom? Pretty much all of them if you ask me and it's not going to get any better until the "have bastard sprog, get a free flat/house and everything paid for" benefit system is disincentivised.

Couldn't have put it better myself. And Labour/Gordon Brown don't think Britain is broken....my backside. What worries me is that it is so much broken that it is irreperable.

They can't fix it as there's too many scum with the right to vote who negate a majority made up by the working person who pays their way. I've moved back into my parents and so has my girlfriend so we can both save effectively to buy a house. It's a horrific step to take but it doubles my saving power per month.

How many did I believe? All of them. We had to reveal it to our "neighbour" in the room, then there was a round robin of who did what. It was me who admitted to arson (set fire to a telephone box after a few brown ales too many), and the weapons abuse was someone who made home-made mortars. Burglary was someone who nicked some stuff from a neighbour's house, and didn't <u>everyone</u> abuse drink & perhaps a spliff or two when they were young...

Perhaps the difference between now & then is that when I did get found out, I got a proper belting off my dad, and was scared witless by being dragged before the the old bill - it never went to court, just a caution. And that was enough. That doesn't seem to be the case these days. But who knows?
