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

They are busy getting their entries in for Opens. Just seen two they've entered so they are off our list to play.

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 ??

Yeah, I know I deserve that, but sometimes you have to let's it out or it can do you more harm by holding it in. The lads in the shop then told me of a comp at Siloth they were in where two blokes smashed 50 points in a 30 mile an hour wind. See, it happens everywhere, and even to good golfers. It's good to vent. Their story obviously still rankles them

Perhaps EG (and the equivalent organsiations in Scotland/Wales/Ireland) should bring in a rule that all affiliated clubs MUST submit the scores from their opens, so that the serial offenders can be identified and appropriate action taken.

My line manager's manager's manager's manager is sitting in our office on a Teams meeting.
He's got his feet on the desk.
He was just talking about his mother's "catarack" procedure and has mentioned something being a "mute" point.
I'm irritated that he gets paid double my salary.

Learner drivers driving on the main A-road in town during school run.. Pensioners (use P plates) and Learners (use L plates) should not be allowed on roads during school runs. Pensioners not allwoed to queue up at the post office during lunch hour either

Either they're underpaid or you're overpaid :unsure:

One thing I really hate about my company is we get documents sent to us, people put their name to them

you notice an issue with the document .. email the name and then all hell breaks out

people dont like being held accountable it seems

it was potentially an issue ... but we stopped it being an issue and asked in future could the document be worded different ..

"its how its always been" well for 1. does that make it right? no it doesnt and 2. no it hasnt .. considering we had 5 of us looking at the document and we all missed the same thing because it was hidden in another section in a massive paragraph about something else rather than listed page 1 like it should be.. (like tonights is)

Fall out from this was hilarious

Person in charge of doc didn't like me apparently "firing from the hip" she spoke to my manager who said no this has caused confusion a few times and not just on our line

Oh we going to change it then

Well why not just accept feedback from those who actually use the system and your documents

If we say it doesn't work and we have to authorise things on what's in that document.. then change it .. it's our jobs on the line not yours

Was probably the male of the couple with a friend!

Sky - send out an email criticising BTs broadband price rises, then a few days later send out their price rises for their TV offering which are almost identical

RPI or CPI increases fair enough but RPI plus 4% or whatever it is ...criminal

It should be RPI or 4% whatever is higher .. 11.7% one of them ...robbery

Five blade razors. Just how are you supposed to fit this monster thing under your top lip?

And I can assure you they don't work any better than two or three blades.

I cannot for the life of me understand why this isn't in place already.
