Practical Jokes on the course

[HomerJSimpson]

Why did you not ask to play through? I'm sure if they weren't in a rush they'd have let you through no problems.

We tried. Not met with a particularly polite response. We didn't even mention their antics, just they had lost ground. One of our less diplomatic (although built like an outhouse) suggested a few holes later if they cut out the antics they'd move faster which wasn't well received. They were there to have their fun and sod everyone else. It definitely got the backs up of the groups behind us and one wanted to take it further in the bar. To be fair it wasn't a resort course per se like the Ashbury. We were there on a golfing break as were a lot of others and unfortunate they happened to be out at the time we played. It was one of thpse times you were desperate for a course marshall

They were soooooooooooooooo painful. A group that finished behind us were all for having a row in the bar afterwards.

So they were rushing thru a round of golf to just get to the bar?
Maybe just skip the golf and go straight to a bar then.

Did you not read? They were slow. They held us up. They were holding those behind us up. They didn't let us through when asked more than once. It was a 5.5 hour round. One of the groups behind us had the hump and wanted to have a dor with them

If he had done then he wouldn't have had a story to tell on here

I put a half brick in the bottom of a 'friends' carry bag.
It took him a few months to find it.

I don't carry but I found a load of our work weekly documents we have to read in my bag ... About 2 months old so somebody had decided to put them in there when I brought my clubs in one day lol

When I found them I was with a manager playing who is from another control room

"Been reading your traffic circulars then there's a good lad"

St Mellion - old course

Played there and the New (Nicklaus) a few times and never had issues like this. Both can get very busy but play moves on

What a ridiculous comparison



It’s always quite amusing how some always seem to find the extreme example that happened to them

You never fail….


….to somehow have the worst opinion, on almost any topic

You seem to be suggesting that Homer is lying.

And I'm sure you'd have plenty to say about it in great detail if it happened to you.

Equating people having fun on a golf course to people flying around at 70mph in a 30 zone is prob up there with the worst

Not suggesting anything of the sort

You're right, but evemcc is using hyperbole to demonstrate that not everybody has the same idea of what fun is.
You are intelligent enough to know that, but still rose to it

It’s a ridiculous hyperbole -

And it’s always the same on a golf course , if you are getting held up by those having a bit of fun and enjoyment - then just ask to go through. And many of those resort courses have marshals who can also help

There's no such thing as ridiculous hyperbole!

 

[Billysboots]

Folks, please let’s not fall out over a thread which was supposed to be the epitome of lightheartedness.

I really think if we had to step in and start moderating this thread of all threads I would find it just too depressing for words.

Seriously.

There is always an exception

I once parred out 11th a par four up hill dog leg right. I have never hit the green in two. Anyway my third hit to the edge of the green and I chipped in for a four. I was chuffed to bits.A PP chucked back my Titliest ball he had taken out of the hole. Only I was playing a Srixon. I was bloody lived having somehow played the wrong ball. His giggling Made me cotton on he had swopped my ball when taking it out of the hole.

Could be worse. Could have hit a green and get to your ball and seen it violated in green ink

 

[Voyager EMH]

We have a 202 yard slightly uphill par 3.
Chap I played with in a comp hit a 3-wood - looked pretty much on line - we can't see surface of the green.
I got to the green first - had a quick glance in the hole - then walked off the back of the green and started gazing around.

Of course his ball was in the hole. He was able to enjoy the joke - eventually - after calling me a few names.
