But not enough bitter scratch golfers.
Mind you, Bobmac on his own makes up for it.....

Hazards are irrelevant if you can hit your target, so short game and putting practice is admitting you are a slapper with your irons and woods.

The Ryder Cup is now little more than a circus.

Stableford scoring is just an excuse for mid and high handicappers to kid themselves that they are better than they are.

Not mine but one that is bandied about a lot...

“The Old Course isn’t the best course at St Andrews.”

 

[Wildrover]

18 handicappers who bang on about the feel of forged clubs should be made to hand them in and told never to darken the doors of a golf course again.

Putting with the shaft up the arm like Deshambles & Kuchar should be banned.

Handicaps should be a max of 36.

Knee length socks should be mandatory with shorts. Standards need to be maintained.

I’m genuine with my thoughts. If I wanted to portray a bit of tongue in cheek I would add an emoji like some people do

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

That would be a cop out (I did see the emoji incidentally). If you post it then mean it, as per captainron ? . Just in case anyone is tempted ?

Mine was a genuinely held opinion.

It is an unpopular golfing opinion .. most people respect hazard escapes .. but to refuse to practice it is unpopular you will often hear I need to practice my putting or bunker play.
