i posted my experience NOT to feel the love of my fellow forum members but to give my honest thoughts,like it or lump it deep down that's what 90% of people would have felt but few on here actually write it because of the bad post's they get back,YES i have a few quid so what,YES my club is traditional and not for everyone (expensive?),but why should i be expected to spoil my enjoyment because a fellow member needs his bottom wiping and bottle fed,you say i have a chip on my shoulder ? what chip ? i play social golf for fun and play in comps to better my h/c and merit points are YOU saying this chaps actions were correct in depriving me of my aims.

Last night i played in a comp, i played with one guy playing for handicap, and another playing in his first comp at our course. It was a long comp at over 4 hours, they played on the 9th hole and hit over 30 shots between them, yes over 30 shots............ i was slowly getting peed off, but i stuck with it, and the guys got there in the end. Thats golf for you, you have to take the rough with the smooth. We were all beginners at sometime. It wasn't the guys fault........ Take your chip on your shoulder, and get over it. Hahahaha )

Gotta hand it to 6", he fights his corner.

Wish he'd stop throwing wild percentages out there for what other forum members would think or write. This isn't Facebook so the Chances of writers posting to make others be their friend is remote.....,.probably less than 10%!!! Agh, now you've got me doing it!!!

If I'm in a comp, I hardly notice my playing partners golf ability, whether they be off 28 or scratch. I do notice their conversation and general persona though. Them hitting 130 doesn't make me shoot the same. No probs helping them with the rules and etiquette either, how are they meant to find out otherwise?

If that was the only slot available, and you wanted to play. Keep your nut down, get on with it and stop whining

It wasn't this chaps fault. Why can you not realise this? It was the pro, if anybody, that was at fault.

ah now chris. expunging this guy from any fault is wrong too. anyone with a bit of sense would know that its probably best not to enter a competition so early in his golfing career. i did go-karting last week for the 1st time. i will not be entering any serious races any time soon as i know my limitations.

He didn't enter the competition, he didn't have a handicap so how could he? If the pro told him it wouldn't be a problem to use the round for handicap purposes why would he doubt him? One question though, if this was a last minute decision to play by the OP then perhaps the old fella wasn't actually playing in the comp and was just taking the newbie out for a round? The reason I say this is that until the OP joined the group the Old fella wouldn't have had anyone to mark his card. For all the OP knows the pro may have asked the newbie and old fella if they would mind allowing the OP to tag along so that he could enter the comp, and being the happy go lucky friendly type of guys they are they happily agreed only to get a misery guts playing with them all the way round.

Just saying like.
