Just a quick one, I won our division yesterday for Vice captains day. I went back tot he club for a few beers and took the wife who was very proud, when I went to collect my prize some so called friends at the back started booing, I wouldn't have minded but it quite upset HID.

Do you think it was out of order?
 
Yes

Joking on the course, or afterwards at the 19th is fine.

But at the actual presentation, no.

A man should be allowed a moment of pride for a job well done.
 
Disgraceful behavior. Well done on your win and as for your so called mates, well they should be ashamed of themselves. I think you should be looking at making a move from Roundhay to a private club in the area. I thought you were looking at Headingley G.C earlier in the year?

Yeah I was, I am really thinking of it but its the joining fee thats going to cost and at the moment I can't justify paying subs and a joining fee over three years. I might have a round at Wike ridge, pretty cheap and good facilities with a decent course.

Definitely out of order. She should never have been allowed out of the kitchen :D



:D :D
 
Yes their behaviour was out of order but I think you may be overreacting. I'm not excusing the discourtesy but I'm sure most of us have offended people unintentionally when we were "having a laugh", especially after a few beers.

If you don't like your presnet club and this was The Last Straw, then fair enough but don't leave somewhere you like just because of one incident.

If you like the offenders, tell them you were pissed off because they spoiled your night. If you don't like the either blank them, report them or tell the they're a set of arseholes.
 
Seems your so called friends didn't know you that well, they must have assumed you had a sense of humour?

Them laughing at him would be a bit like me calling you a prat, wouldn't it ?
Depends if he's a member at a friendly relaxed club where the members have a pint and a laugh, or a stuffed shirt pompous place where winning a handicap trophy is seen as the equivalent of The Open Championship, and the members compare the size of their Jaguars?

I disagree

You can call me what you like when it's all lads together.

But when the mrs is around, you don't show me up.

It's knowing where the barriers are.

Anyway, a club trophy is better than winning a society do, so the reaction should be a little more restrained anyway.

And for handicappers, it's as close as we're going to get to winning the Open. So for me it's banter before and after, but raising the roof for the walk of embarassment.

Respect

Agree with that in its' entirety ;)

When in Rome.

Is it the norm to heckle, or is it a stuffed shirt type presentation? If it's the former, then Parmo needs to get in the spirit, whatever he thinks should be the form (and join a club where he fits in). If it's the latter, then fair enough.
 
MInd you - if you shot 45 points with 2 blobs..............
:p :p :p :p :p :p

:eek:

I shall be returning and just blanking them and not drinking in the clubhouse any more.


Parmo,
I know its not an excuse but were there more than a few drinks taken before the heckling....Are these so called friends usually like this when sober.....
Im a non drinker and have worked in the drinks and pub industry for nearly 10 years and to be quite frank drink makes a knob of most people and it usually brings their true character out........
There still Muppets though and if it were me i wouldnt leave a club because of them...Just find some new playing partners.....They were more than likely jealous of your new status!
