Random Irritations

Worst thing post pandemic golf for me was 2 balls. Excrutiating. Even with your best mate. 4 balls only please. Just get round in 3 1/2 hours please. ( yes, we have been doing this, easily).

I was happy to get back out playing and so accepted 2 ball was the only way forward to start with but it was only 9 holes and over in just over an hour and home. Far better now we're in a four. Banter better and still round in well under four hours. We were out today stuck behind two pairs who were then stuck behind loads of fours (why they didn't pair up sooner than the 17th is another issue) but we didn't care. We had no-one behind, it was a nice day and so happy to pitch chip and putt before rushing to the next tee. Why pressure those in front when they have nowhere to go

I love two balls, round in under three hours. Mind you I struggle to find one mate to play with.

People who are still stuck in 60’s!

What about those stuck in the 70's ? Asking for a friend.

went to the big tesco for the first time in almost 3 months today, i do have to wonder why they bothered to mark out the store as one way and SD marking... no bugger was taking a blind bit of notice

Did you give out any infractions?

You’re ok mate, you’re special.

I'd just enjoy the extra time I have with my mates. I don't play if I'm time limited.

I’m not time limited, I just don’t like unnecessarily waiting.
If I wanted to sit in a field I’d go for a picnic. fortunately they was forced to wait aside after a phone call.
Plenty of time to socialise after the round for a “post round woodland beer”.

I nearly always go barefoot at home. We have been away this weekend, and have come home and trodden on something sharp in the kitchen. No idea what, but my foot is bleeding like a stuck pig. Claret everywhere.
Flicked the offending object out of my foot, and now can't find it on the floor, so it is lurking for tomorrow.
Either the cleaner, the cat sitter, or who ever, has broken something, or disturbed something previously broken.
Either way, ouch.

Have they got a 25 year old son/daughter?

???
Actually it isn't a laughing matter, my suspicion is she was just extremely drunk and on a mission to try and upset me for whatever reason.

Delete, delete, run for the hills. Hide any bunnies that are outside in the garden . No good can come from that, or have I watched too many films?

Obviously, can’t believe you are even questioning the situation ????

Some plonk telling me I don’t hit my driver correctly when I stated there was not a significant difference between it and the strong 3 wood ... having never seen me hit a ball or take a swing. But then again he was a golf shop owner ?

Golfers not sticking to the two meter rules.
For those now playing in four balls can you honestly say that all four of you are ALWAYS two meters apart from each other? Think about walking from green to tee. That's the bit where you all gather and move as one. We are still in two balls. My mate walks right next to me. I've given up telling him. But today as waited for the blokes to walk by me, giving them 2 meters, he marched past me and them. Yes I told him. Yes we got into a discussion. Yes he lost. I had to point out we have a public footpath through the course and it only needs one non golfer to see things aren't being done right and we're shut. "THEN I'LL BE MAD". Another mate last week giving me a playful fist bump on the arm after a joke on his course. Yes I have more than one mate.

I'll be glad when this is all over.
