Golfing etiquette is an outdated concept that only goes to limit the attraction of the sport to newcomers (this has no doubt already been pointed out but I think it's worth emphasising )

To be fair he did say sport. Not sure pool and 10 pin bowling qualify.

Golfers should carry unless they have a dr's certificate.
Shorts and White chino's should not been worn by male golfers EVER.

1. all-male and all-female golf clubs should be allowed
2. there should be a basic competency test before a player is allowed on a golf course
we have a large number of lady members at our place. a few of them struggle to hit the ball more than 20-30 yards at a time. getting stuck behind them is soul-destroying.
3. If there is a trolley/buggy ban because of the weather, clubs should not allow members to get round it with a doctor's note.
we have had such a ban in place for the last few weeks, yet there is a sizeable number playing regularly with a trolley or even a ride-on single seater buggy, wrecking the course. I have sympathy for genuine cases, but it's the easiest thing in the world to go to the docs and pay him to write you a note saying he recommends you should be allowed to use a trolley/buggy.

That's hardly a cast iron definition! I suppose eating Ritter Sport counts as a sport too?
Pool is a pub game. Darts too.

Haha, same lockdown theme ...... With tee times restricted during lockdown priority should be given to those who work during the week at the weekend.

Going out for a friendly knock with fewer than 14 clubs is a waste of time - it is essential that a full 14 plus all the gear must be taken out at all times - necessitating the use of a bag the size of which could comfortably accommodate the average junior.

Scotty Camerons overpriced clones of other golf designs have been their only successes. Any designs they've introduced themselves don't sell and are soon discontinued.

Leather gloves are mandatory and are essential for feel and grip

Known reoffending slow players should be drawn at the back of swindles and comps. There’s nothing worse than seeing a draw sheet only to realise three out of the first four ball in the roll up are the slowest in the club... oh and your the 8th-10th group

You're right, we can just bump the previous one up again! No sense us all writing our names a second time.

Or golf gloves are a marketing ploy and with modern grips make no difference to the vast majority of golfers.

The most unpopular golf opinion I can think of right now is Boris's opinion that playing golf will spread Covid (but gathering in a church won't).

Just a quick FYI - The truth of it is that due to the demographic of regular church-goers many (if not most) churches are not open for congregational worship as they recognise that many of their congregation will be elderly and vulnerable. Where a church is open - doors are opened to create a through draught; the congregation is strictly socially distanced; is face-masked; do not mingle or socialise before or after a service; and do not sing. I wouldn’t worry too much about church congregations being a vector for transmission of the virus ?

They don't always follow the rules....like so many other people. It's an exception that shouldn't be there......
