Random Irritations

Missus did the clap a few times till she broke the guidelines. Pulled her up on the hypocritical actions. I’ve not clapped for personal reasons.
 
Clapping for the NHS has prob run its course the minute people started setting for fireworks and it became a competition to see who set of the biggest. Neighbours around here set off lots of fireworks then have friends and family around all day long
 
Some of our members. Played first yesterday - greens pristine with no pitch marks anywhere. Just played late evening today. In 36 hours, a ton of pitch marks. We are only allowing members on the course so it can't be the usual "societies or green fees" excuse. I guess they hadn't read their instruction manual for using a pitch mark repairer since the lockdown started.
 
Continuously clicking on the wrong thing on this site because it has a few seconds delay before it finally sets itself in position.

Golf ranges who can't be bothered to update their website/Facebook/phone message to say if they're open or not.

The tool at Toolstation in Watford. There's a reason they put him outside ?

Apart from all that, having a lovely day thank you.

Yes, yes and yes again to your first point
So irritating, happens on all devices too
 
Getting to the golf course realising I’d forgot my golf shoes..
Golf shop couldn’t sell me a pair despite having them in my hand. Had to borrow my mates Sweaty corona spares out the car.
The range was selling coffee and sandwiches though!

Thought it was the craziest nonsensical thing I’ve come across since “lockdown“, till my mate said he went to the chippy and they wouldn’t serve him unless he had phoned up. So he phoned up in the chippy, ordered and paid in the usual way.

Is this real!?

It's real.
Our Pro shop is only open for people booking in.
He cant sell anything to you in person.
If you go outside, phone up, pay over the phone he can deliver anything to the first tee for you....
These cant be open at the moment to shoppers - only online or phone sales

Yep, pro shops are non essential retail and so cannot open for person to person sales but can make arrangements for distance selling as with any other retailer.
