Random Irritations

People’s parking of late. Blind summits/dips/bends, neither of these seem to deter chumps from parking in stupid places rather than walk the additional 20-30 yards to their destination from a safe parking location.

Add to that people opening doors in to traffic more in the last short while than in 26 years I’ve been driving leads me to believe that people no longer give a flying fig about road safety or consideration for others.

Its def getting worse, I'm not convinced most drivers know what they are doing is wrong or care. Was walking back with the dog yesterday, and there is a road we walked along with only pavement on one side which is double yellows. 6 cars parked along there, not only on the D Y but also on the pavement. There is an empty car park some 100 yards away. To lazy to walk 100 yards.
 
Course closed since Sunday due to heavy rain. I bet it's fine, just protecting it.

Trying again on Thursday....
We should have been but it isn't. Wishy washy statement on website saying carry where possible but so many people still out with their electric trolleys. Spoke to the immediate past captain and the back nine is in a really bad state and should be shut and in his opinion front nine only and thats borderline. With no GK staff I don't think anyone wanted to take the decision and with full booking hoped the bar would do a good business after. Surely people to take a longer term view
 
Getting towards the bottom of a bag of Celebrations. Realising that there's been only one Malteser! One!! And the bottom of the bag is covered in Milky Ways. :cry: :eek:
 
Guess the golf courses are closed and dark months are here when the sniping on the forum goes up - not long until the course is open again
 
I can play along with the nonsense that is Emily in Paris…even the bonkers designer haute couture outfits that Emily wears, but the Mindy character’s singing does my head in.
