The thread asked for unpopular opinions, doesn't necessarily mean the poster holds that view!

Somebody buy me a gun.

You'd never be allowed a licence!

You'd never be allowed a licence!

I'd only need it the once

Everyone should learn with bladed irons. As it demands good ball striking.

The long game is the most important part of the game

No, you wouldn't.

 

[Captainron]

No, you wouldn't.

The smiley is misleading....

This is the sort of thing where the article ends with the words

“He then turned the gun on himself”

The WHS is a really good handicap system.

3. Anyone over the age of 65 shouldnt play on full courses
?

Damn my eyesight. I was just about to agree with when I realised it said play and not pay

 

[jim8flog]

practice should be:

40% putting
30% chipping
20% pitching
10% driving range

What is 'practice'.

Playing through should be abolished. Worrying about pace of play is a cause of unnecessary stress. If you are in a hurry, don't play 18 holes. You should keep your position on the course for the full round.

 

[jim8flog]

Practice swings should be banned or limited to just one.

Speak with Richart, he has written the book?

I do realise now that as an athlete I need to warm up before a round. Cup of tea and bacon roll works perfectly.

Mines in 2 parts

1. People should stop being so obsessed with 'slow play', they've paid thier money same as anyone and are entitled to enjoy it. Calm down.. Stop rushing

2. If you're not aware/polite enough to let people through promptly when you're playing slower than they are... You should be banned.

Excellent idea. Fail to keep your position, you get "sent off!" ?

If you get a shot at a hole you should be able to use it to shoot a slow player on the hole in front who won't call you through!

Pretty much every american tour player (bar maybe Ricky Fowler) is as dull as dishwater.

The thing golfers should do instead of playing actual golf.

 

[Maninblack4612]

Fourballs playing strokeplay, holing out everything, should be banned

I wonder how many of these are tongue-in-cheek, and how many are peoples’ genuine opinions????

This thread is 100% genuine opinions or it makes the whole thread pointless.
