We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!
Are the pages in the rule book regarding ettiquette actual rules or just guidelines? If they're rules then all clubs that say a single has no standing are in the wrong. Doesn't one of the rules say - you may not waive a rule of golf?
If they're just guidelines that becomes a whole different ballgame.
And no-one has been able to ever convincingly explain to me why a single player has no standing.
Homer, you know me too well
In the last two days I have completed 2 rather respectable rounds of 41 and 40 st. pts respectively.
Girls rule?
Yes, I'm feeling smug.
And we know what pride leads to ... (but it's good while it lasts)- and I still sympthise with htl. The rule change is a good one.
Thats great shooting and the truth was I was afraid of the wrath of all female members not just you which is why I refrained from judging any female golfers performance
We have a few mixed events coming up so I'm actually looking forward to a game with the ladies for a change
If you and FIL have agreed that the game as a 2 ball is the game you wish to play then you are under no obligation of courtesy to invite anyone to join you.Unless an unwritten members or players rule at the club has been casually agreed I wouldnt worry about it. Anyone who expects to be invited to join someone is being rude in my view, such invitations should be spontanious and willing or through casual agreement when people meet at the club or prior to play, maybe occasionally during a round when groups catch one another behind slow players for example.
