You could go sourdough and poached if your worried ? .. skip the butter and have crushed or smashed avocado as well .. but I haven’t taught them that one yet.. maybe have sprinkle of sliced and diced chilli to give it some zip.

Now you're talking, I dint know if I'd vibe able to resist your heart attack on toast though ?

 

[woofers]

Drag it out and I can see some looking for pastures new and a cheaper option

Not much choice in your neck of the woods is there ?

lol like youre ever choosing the second option

Admittedly I am a pessimist but I fear there is a real possibility that golf courses won't be open for play at all this year. The question of renewing next year after paying a year's subs for nothing will be difficult.

£1300 paid in January. Wettest winter ever saw very little golf now this!

????

 

[Jacko_G]

My mate is a golf course general manager. This is renewal time and they're 130 members down on last year at this stage. He knows that they have him and the club over a barrel.

They know from the club accounts that the club will not turn them away in August (or whenever) when they come back saying that they're prepared to pay pro rata basis for the rest of the season. And he knows he'll have to accept them with a happy smiling face despite what he truly thinks.

Limited aside from Downshire which is a council owned P&P. Assume some will go nomadic

....true. Some clubs will be able to hold the position, some won't as you say above.

The longer this goes on the more lumpy this will be.

My own club is saying no refunds (from sub year that starts Jan 1) I wonder how many will resign now and be eligible for a pro rata refund for rest of year, then join somewhere else on the resumption.

Believe it or not I'm 4st lighter in the last 18 months or so by eating the latter instead of the former!!

Surely you can't and wouldn't get a refund for the year if you put in a resignation now?
