Random Irritations

[patricks148]

I don't even know when the deadline is yet, I've messaged the club sec to find out. The draw was only made on the weekend, so far I've emailed them the days we can do and all I get back is "can't do that Sunday, we're away." "Can't do those two days either." I don't know if he thinks I'm going to endlessly throw new dates at him until I magically hit the one he's available for, but if he does think that, he's sorely mistaken. But yeah, as soon as I find out the deadline date, my next email is going to simply state when it is and leave the ball in their court!

at ours you offer 3 dates, one must be a weekend, if they don't come back and suggest any alternative by close to the closing date you either contact the M&H sec or turn up at 4pm on the tee, no show, games yours.

as many other treads in the past have highlighted, i'm not sure why some people enter these comps when it appears they have not intention of ever playing

I'm not aware of the rules on when and whether you can claim the match at our club. I know that my partner is on a two week holiday from the 19th, but this is what I'm trying to arrange it quickly to get it done before then. Most of my dates offered were weekends, I also offered to take a Friday afternoon off work to play it, and still got nothing back.

i would email the M&H sec and get the comp rules and procedure for playing games, once you know what they are and you have offered dates and contacted its in your favour.

road works with silly slow speed restrictions still in operation at night and the weekend when there is not a single worker on site for the whole weekend

Are the speed restrictions for workers’ safety or because the lanes are currently sub-standard?

Hire car for the week whilst mine has some minor body work from a learner knocking it.. bigger car yet can’t fit the clubs in the boot without putting seats down..

Also no camera to reverse. I don’t mind but the wife is not comfortable lol she’s not driven a car without one for 10 years so I suppose if you are used to something

The codswallop spouted by the pundits at half time. "The USA attack in blocks of power"...do they even think about what they're warbling on about?!

The BBC deciding the England women's football is the lead story …. on the news page. Just because they've got the rights, it's rammed down our throats. It's not the lead story. It's not even the main sports story.

It's just the BBC shoving their equality thing in our faces thus have to be seen to be giving the men's and women's games equal coverage.

It’s also the main story on the ITV

And Sky

And BT Sport

The Guardian

The Independent

So what should be the main sport headline ?

Yawn, roll on The British Open next week.

It’s The Open.

 

[Beezerk]

It’s The Open.

US Open
British Open, seeeemples

So in that case, it’s the American Masters they play at Augusta is it?
The Open was first, and therefore is “The Open”. Every other open after that needs location.
