Maybe we should organise a forum picnic on the 10th at Carnoustie. It’ll be nice in the summer so we should make it late July.
Never seen that on a golf course before

When I was at Wimbledon Common, the first green had a nice horseshoe bank around it and went out in the comp and there was a family sitting on the bank eating and drinking while the kids were playing footie on the green. They were reluctant to move until the group behind us drove the green and as I had warned them were in danger.

We have a pond in front of our par 3 5th, one evening there were 3 Eastern Europeans fishing, presumably for their tea. They didn't move while our 4 ball all played,even though it's only 125 yards to the middle.

A loved up couple having a quickie between the fifth tee and the 11th fairway. Ok, they were in the trees, but there are only 3 trees, and 15 yards off the fairway. Full on, clothes off, girl on top, going at it.
Just didn't give a stuff.

Playing the Fores course at Le Touquet many moons ago, we were following a family. Mum and dad had a buggy each, with the kids split between the two. Horrendously slow but, tbh, it was a lovely sunny day. They waved us through on the 10th tee, as they got the picnic hamper out of the buggy and set up base camp for a good while. Bizarrely, it actually felt right. The kids disappeared exploring in the woods... it was a lovely, idyllic scene.
They appeared back at the clubhouse nearly 2 hours after we finished, having let plenty of groups through.

At Heaton Park there's quite often people shooting rabbits and trying to sell them to you between the 8th and 9th tee. I can't imagine they get many takers.

Something happened to me today that has never happened in 30+ years of playing. In the medal and not playing well over the first three but making a score somehow. On the fourth tee and par would get me through the tough opening quartet in the equivalent of level 2's. Tee it up and as I got to the top of the downswing and stated down, I could clearly see the ball toppling off the tee. Tried to play catch up to no avail and made the merest touch and moved it five yard right and a yard forward. Ended with a double and on the back foot after that

I’ve never the ball end up behind me
Off the tee before until last week...
Teed off but hooked it straight into our bags that were 50 yards up the fairway.. smashed it back accross the par 3 we had just played. My pp was convinced I had to play it (match play) I later discovered I was right free replay as was his bag not mine
Still won the hole as he lost his tee shot. Irony

Had a similar experience myself. Playing at Ruislip (public course), we got to the par 3 seventh, and saw a lad and a girl sitting on a picnic blanket on the green. We stood staring at them and waving for 30 seconds before they got the message and scarpered off.
Another time playing at West London (Northolt) nine hole course, there was a couple of kids - looked like an older sister and younger brother - wandering around with a carrier bag picking up golf balls. Wouldn't care if they were just in the trees and rough, but the little git actually picked up my ball that I'd just landed on the fairway and chucked it in his bag with the others! I starting running up there yelling for him to put it back, eventually he threw a ball out of his bag in the general area and ran off. Wasn't even the right ball, it was some other old knackered one. I was fuming!

Once saw a man wearing skin coloured underpants (and nothing else) doing somersaults in the first cut of rough on the 10th at Mitcham golf club.

Many years ago on a Sunday morning we arrived at the 10th green. The flag had been replaced with a pair of ladies skimpy knickers.
In the modern era you would all have had a phone on you to take a picture. I feel that deserved a picture

A few years ago a young couple put on a 'display' in their bedroom window that backed on to one of the par 3 tees. There were three groups on the tee at one stage and no one playing the hole. I'm not sure what the hold up was!

Wouldn't have happened at mine - none of our lady members would own anything skimpy 😂

No photo necessary. They were black and we made sure that we didn’t touch them.

Nor at my club. There again with an average age that must be in the high 50's if not older, not sure I'd relish the idea of any of them in skimpy anything

Thanks Homer. I now have a quite awful image in my head. It’s not what I want to visualise

A bunch of teenagers playing a 5 a side ice hockey match with spectators on the frozen lake.
Late in the day on an early part of the course, causing nae bother.
I did warn them that it was 8' deep but they laughed and said they could all swim.
