Old Course - Xmas Day

[howbow88]

Can't believe anyone would rather play golf than spend it with friends and family at that time of year. It's stealing plain and simple and would be officially closed and plenty of H&S considerations with the public walking about

I often work it now, as I just can’t be bothered with it. Seeing family and stuff is kind of nice I guess, but after a few hours with them I’m bored out of my mind. I don’t play on Christmas Day but I can absolutely understand why one would.

Usual, Homer makes an innocent or harmless remark and the thread details!

😂😂😂

Homer I'm with you, time for family and yes I appreciate not everyone is in the same boat.

If you play a golf course without paying the required green fee or membership then in all essence you are stealing from the club

If it’s not stealing what is it ?

Question: Is it true the Old Course is FREE on Xmas Day? (as we'd been told by a St Andrews resident) ie. the Green Fee is £0. ZERO. NOTHING.
Not question: Will I be able to nip onto the old Course without paying?

Taking advantage of the goodwill rumour* offered to all men (and women) on Christmas Day?

*now confirmed to be nothing more than a rumour

Not sure I'd agree with that but hey you're welcome to your opinion!

@HughJars. Post(s) may have been removed because of abusive language that is totally inappropriate on a public forum.

Just a thought!

Re earlier theme... I'd rather play golf than sit indoors on Xmas Day.... but the weather is usally rubbish and besides, my Mrs would kill me!!
When I was a teenager I once cleared off pike fishing on Christmas Day... I said it was only the same as kids who went for ride on their new bike!!

If you ask me a free round on the Old Course after opening pressies and before a slap-up Christmas dinner with family and a load of drink is just about the perfect Christmas Day if you ask me!!! 😉😂😂

I wouldn’t play even if it was free as I have a young child.
Christmas Day is family time imo.
