Unpopular golfing opinions

[tugglesf239]

If a Club has a dress code, then the age of the clothes should be on there. Old beige chinos and scruffy polo shirts should be treated just as militantly as jeans and vests.

oh that’s a good un

You see plenty of Compo’s knocking about and they need policing. Scruffy oiks

18 should be the maximum handicap for an able bodied adult.

You should always use the word 'game' when talking about what clubs you use!!

The vast majority of players can't tell the difference between Premium Tour balls - with the possible exception of the X versions..

Distance measuring devices should be banned from use in internal club competitions...

Well I used to think that. I have a laser rangefinder now - but sometimes I still do.

One afternoon a week should be a two-ball afternoon with four tee times cleared prior to the first two-ball tee time (I've enjoyed the speed of two-balls). At my place Wednesday pm would be good as it avoids Tues am Ladies and our big Thursday am Roll-Up.

Do not grow the game! I’m fed up of being stuck behind newbies who’ve just watched a major or Ryder cup an thought the golf course is a great place to learn how to play

Add into that, anyone over the age of 75 should be thrown in the bin

People that subscribe to golf ‘YouTube’ channels are weirdos

Wentworth west is a very very good golf course and people just moan about it being ruined because they’re too rubbish to actually appreciate it

As mentioned, opinions are allowed. The key for this thread is not to get bogged down in a back and forth.

I should’ve added a smiley to the post, as it was written tongue in cheek, just based on the endless discussions that is just going round in circles every once in a while here.

Lydd is actually a decent course........


Never played it, just stirring ?

Rolls ups will be the death of some Clubs.

The use of the word “golf” as a verb should be banned

All new players should be required to pass an etiquette test before being allowed into the course, and breaches of etiquette should be subject to penalty during play

Agree. Would never do it myself.

???

Oh good thread.... I have so many I don't know where to begin!

Lets go for the big one - there should never be a single sex block booking on the course at the weekend

There should never be a single sex block booking period.

And no comps should be single gender

The halfway house should be abolished.

Take what you need to eat or drink during your round with you form the start.

Speith is done as a top golfer. He rode his luck for a 3/4 year spell (and did he half get some serious luck) and will never win another major

Oh I like this game. Let me think.

“I prefer watching the women’s PGA than the European Tour”

I was nearly taken over the coals over that comment one Sunday morning. No one spoke to me for 3 holes.

Absolutely 100% agree ?

Golfers who wear golf-branded baseball caps in weather other than hot and sunny are just copying what they see golfers on TV do (since about 2000) and should be banned - unless they’re themselves sponsored by said companies

Completely agree
