Question for papyt....

Re: Question for baby....

why would i contact a complete stranger who apart from golf i have no apparent empathy with if i wish to play golf down south i'm sorry to tell you i have plenty of friends i can go with,sorry.

One of the great things about golf compared to other sports is that it gives strangers the opportunity to spend time together and build friendships.

That appears to have gone right over your head :ears:

Re: Question for baby....

I don't like chopping bits out of someone's post because taking some thing out of context doesn't really qualify an argument or debate but I've looked long and hard and can't find anything that moderates your position.

I'd guess that the flak you've been getting has led you to post a few generalisations, or I hope, that you maybe in the cold light of day you might change a wee bit.

But "never looked for an opponents ball." If this is true you deserve everything you've got and more.[/QUthe word never was meant not to be taken literally and should have meant sometimes,and i don't believe anyone who says they haven't,so what people are saying is that you hit your ball to the extreme right in the rough your opponent hits to the extreme left so you both go to your own balls cant find them so you then both look for one ball then walk across the fairway and look for the other ball cant find either haven't played privisionals so both walk back to the tee and repeat the drives,what do you think the group behind will be making of this??

I'm sat here with a huge dollop of Glenlivit wetting myself with laughter... every post that comes back at you you focus on something then twist it a wee bit. Buddy, I'd play golf with you because you're either the best wind up merchant ever or you're absolutely genuine. Either way I wouldn't be able to hit the ball for the tears rolling down my cheeks.! Rock on buddy, plough your own furrow

Agreed, but no Glenlivet, only red/white wine (I'm very refined). My offer to host stands.

Hobbit,

I think you are roughly the same vintage as me. Can we fix a game with Papyt at your place or mine?

Papyt, this a genuine offer, we're not all ogres, anyone who's passionate about golf is welcome to a game..

Spooky!

You've read my mind pretty much to the letter - there's only ever short words used.

I think Papy is down south, and I'm north of you. Notts is fine by me - daughter no.3 lives in Nottingham, which would make life easier.

I now realise you are much older than me - Papyt's sig says NORTHWEST. I thought that was further North than Yorkshire. Can we get someone younger to tell us where we can meet?

Anyway, if Papyt doesn't want to play ball, come and play when you come down to see your daughter in Nottingham.

Outed!

Yes, Alkaselzer has set in with me!

And you are way older than me. Papyt is also older, albeit only just.

Re: Question for baby....

isn't it comical how uptight people get about one little comment!!!! i do look for peoples balls ( ooh matron) in the rough, it seems to bring out the best in people don't you think (?) and you can normally tell by how people respond.some of my comments were tongue in cheek including the original and i was just seeing how far some would go,im hope some of you on here read your words and don't forget golf is just a game and not that important at that, so i'm sorry if it made you upset and i was going to let it run but being the gent i am i wouldn't want you all going to bed in a mood.smile your on candid camera

Re: Question for baby....

I've read the thread and I'm sorry Papyt but I can't find anything on here that redeems your attitude. I admire your steadfast competitive nature and will to win but frankly see it as being at the detriment to the great good of the game like enjoying the company of your playing partner, the spirit of the game in terms of helping (and being helped) looking for lost balls and yoru frustration that higher handicappers can't meet your own exacting standards.

To be truthful, and that is what you say you have been, I wouldn't play with you now based on what I've read here. I find your attitude elitist and isolating. I wonder what happens when you hit the ball in the rough or does that never happen? If your opponent is there by your side helping do you turn round and say "no don't worry you go back to your ball and return to your zen like state". I bet you enjoy the help especially if they find it for you. And yet you won't repay the favour. Sorry isn't the right word and pity is too strong but I do think your approach is out of kilter

Papyt

My invitation is absolutely genuine. I am in no way upset at your opinions which are clearly heartfelt. A round with Hobbit and me ( I can't believe you are older than both of us) would calm everything down - PM me.
