Popped into Painswick GC for a bite to eat while on my travels last week and picked up one of their scorecards to look at. Delighted and surprised to see that was still a 7/8 handicap matrix on the back. Remember that from stablefords of old?
It got me thinking about the things that are different now from when I started playing. So far I’ve got -
Waterproof suits that were nowhere near waterproof
Balls individually wrapped in crinkly paper
Paying your annual subs in one go, by cheque, on time. No monthly direct debits and I’m not sure about credit cards either(?)
The clack of metal spikes on the patio
Banging your shoes against a wall to get mud off - no compressed air machines
I’m sure there’s dozens more.
