Things I Miss

Juniors giving us seniros approriate and unquestioning respect at all times
Quiet club house bar
Golf shoes that didnt look like trainers
Shirts with collars and tucked in
Not seeing a woman on a course
INterview for potential members
High joining fees to keep the plebs out
...


;)
 
Ping Eye 2's. Fantastic bats.

Adidas torsion golf shoes. They were the muts nuts, though I was the best thing since sliced bread when I got a pair of these for my birthday as a junior.

MacGregor golf.

Maxfli Revolution balls. They were superb.

The original and best Country Team format Dunhill Cup.

Pro celebrity golf.
 
A seve ballesteros 5 wood (made of wood).

Playing the local muni in tracky bottoms.

Playing the local muni at 5 in the morning, before work, in 2 1/2 hours.

A round with Pace.......
 
I miss a proper halfway stop with a beer and a pie and salad. Halfway house time is factored into your round in South Africa and you can't skip it to jump ahead of a few groups. Not seen many open halfway houses in the UK (even on the weekends) which is a shame.

What does salad taste like?
 
Persimmon drivers. The look, the shiny varnish (the smell of the varnish) and the whipping. Cor, I used to run my hands down that whipping!

What about US golf on terrestrial tele? Even if they didnt put enough dimes in the meter to provde coverage of any overtime (remember Stadler and Pohl at Augusta? in 82 I think). We used to have the three US majors on ITV I think (before Channel 4 and the beeb).
