Room 101

Handicaps!

An artificial mechanism that changes golf from a challenging, competitive sport into a strange pastime where people who can't play it walk around waving sticks and get prizes.

:whistle:
 
Played this week at a course that had a beautiful grass driving range. They had just moved the rope forward so we were hitting off lovely fresh shortish dense turf- like a really nice first cut. Even my nemesis 3 wood was launching off it wonderfully.
Then we went out to the closely cur fairway and had a reality check!

Must have been better than a plastic mat in a box!!
 
Single golfers that turn up on a Saturday or Sunday morning and expect to be let through ;)

Yes, but the weekend ones are billy no mates, or people on medication. I'm talking the ones during the week (sales reps,self-employed,shifty workers), they should be let through with haste. :)
 
The 20 h'capper who, in a match against you, is getting a shot a hole. Then having them come off every green and, with a surprised tone, exclaim "ooh I got a shot there"

Really? Even the 120yd par 3. What was your choice off the tee? Underam or overarm throw?
 
Coming off a great course having played really badly, soaked through, every single bit of gear is drenched. Get changed and warm again, go to the bar, 2 pints of Guinness please......Bartender......thats will be £8.80 please!!!!!! Dunham Forest you thieving thieving little *****
