As I said, seeing my golf club being used as a centre gave me the expectation that I could have it done there. Finding out I was wrong is irritating! Still I'm not in any rush so I might just give it a couple of days to see if I get the magical letter that lets me do it there anyway. ??

Ah, nice. I don't want the jab until after my team's cup final on the 28th anyway just in case there's any side effects.
Does the golf club come up at all as an option on the online booking system? If not they may be getting inconsistent supplies of the vaccine and so waiting for a letter could drag this out. I was jabbed weeks before my equivalents who waited for the letter up here. I think you may be over optimistic in your vision of the timescales and availability of all of this. Saying that, we live in very different parts of the country so it may be easier where you are.As I said, seeing my golf club being used as a centre gave me the expectation that I could have it done there.

Incidentally, apologies, you were not complaining, merely irritated. That's the point of here.

Oh come on, you're a golfer, the most moan-ist of sports people.... the greens, the tees, the booking system, the handicap system, the bad lies, the state of the fairways, the rough, the bunkers, electronic scorecards, PSI terminals, Apps, the COVID rules and on and on and on

How dare you, I am a regular! Especially now I've got on the scoresheet as well! I'm the stalwart of the team, like Denis Irwin.

On the news last night they did a bit on the dumbing down of spelling at primary schools. Spell it like it sounds. One of the examples was changing wash to wosh. To me, that just looks as if woosh has been spelt wrong.
That is phonetics and it has been in and out of fashion for a while now. The theory is a little like kids hitting a golf ball, playing cricket etc. The sporting analogy is 'hit it as hard as you like, we will straighten out the faults later'. The spelling concept is as you say, spell it how it sounds, you will correct it as you get older.
My mum was an old school infant teacher and disliked phonetics with a passion. She was pleased that when she retired it had just gone out of fashion, proving her right in her eyes, but then sad to see that when my kids went to school it was back in again. Assuming that the individual will just magically fix their spelling one day is a big leap of faith and based on my own kids learning this way I have to say I am not a fan.

By which time the fault is well & truly ingrained & will never be properly rectified. It might not be fashionable, but there is a time & place for the old fashioned methods, like learning by rote, and spelling is one of them in my opinion.
