Random Irritations

[chellie]

So basically someone else won more comps than you and youre not happy about ?‍

Do you think someone else was saying the same thing when you spent your winnings ?

Phil, the people he is talking about are well known bandits in the NW who also lie.

If they are well known then things can be done about them - clubs etc can put things in place to stop people winning big prizes.

If they have manipulated their handicap then the county and club can do something

Hence why certain people are banned from national comps etc

The club have. It's not been done enough though.

Good that the club have - hopefully they involve the county as well , stamping out the HC manipulation will certainly improve the regional/national comps

A depressingly common theme, I'm afraid.

Popping into a golf course to spend our winnings from last years comp and finding one of the xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx (you can add in what ever you deem fit) people that cleaned up in countless comps last year spending her winnings. A brand new set of clubs costing, my best guess mentally totting up the vouchers used and cash added, about SIX HUNDRED NOTES. We hung about at the back of the shop as the person spouted the same carp to the two blokes in the shop about how she had "only started playing last year" bull smelly carp and I got more and more wound up. The wife tried to keep me calm. Then as she, we thought, went to leave and we moved toward the counter she walked past us and then hung around until we said who we were to the two lads to confirm our winnings, she then immediately left. BOOM! I exploded and left the two lads in no uncertainty as to what those golfers had been up to last year. They were a tad startled as first, well they would be as they didn't know, but the realisation that I was telling the truth hit them, she had handed over three winning vouchers to the tune of FOUR HUNDRED NOTES, from a person who started playing golf only last year. We left as the one of the lads joked, "well we'll see you in August as you compete for second place" Oh how we laughed.
What are the chances of them being there at the same time as us?????

So you had a rant at two blokes in a shop who were nothing to do with what you have assumed has taken place?

We’ll done big man. You must feel really good about yourself.

I’d would have torn your voucher up and thrown you out.

Maybe play in the scratch comps this year. Then you don’t have to worry about bandits ??

We had that an hour ago.

Hailstones and lightning. Garden looking like a lake.

Roll on spring.

You're surprised that stuff on a public forum gets commented on?

Likewise. The storm that was during the Wolves match warm up reached us. I'm so fed up with this weather. Allotment is waterlogged.

You'll be, quite reasonably, be commenting about it being as dry as a bone in July/August!

Well yes in the context of this thread I guess. I always considered it a safe haven to have a light hearted or serious rant without fear of repercussions, look at the early pages I’m sure there was a gentleman’s agreement to not have digs at posts. But hey, I come in this forum for a laugh and have some banter like you would over a beer, maybe I’m just strange ?

Indeed! Goes like concrete. Husband has a plan to rig up some sort of drill pump which will also pump water from the trough to the water butt - sounds good in theory...
