Yeah, it’s like Jedi training.

Castle tees are the sign of a meticulous golfer ensuring a perfect height for every tee shot

It is important to ring the 'We're clear' bell as loudly and for as long as you can to ensure that everyone across the golf course is fully aware,

Better than not ringing it like some of our members.
They hold you up all round then create a gap on 17th by not ringing the bell.
Then joke to you “ where have you been “ in the clubhouse.
Feel like ringing their neck.

I know those idiots. They don't ring the bell on the 6th and so you wait until you can see them coming up the 7th, by which time you are over a hole behind them and the groups behind you are wondering why you are so slow.

If I never again see a version of "The Match" or some other over-hyped nonsense involving Tiger/Phil/Wolff or any other pro, and retired US basketball/football players who can barely hit a ball, it will be too soon.

I think this translated into the thread topic is ‘if you realise you haven’t rung the bell then don’t waste time quickly going back to ring it. The guys behind will realise the coast is clear’ ?

As the title implies. What unpopular golfing opinions do you have? I have a few I suppose, but I’ll start with -

Royal Liverpool is one of the better Open rota courses.....

Ashdown Forest Hotel course used/s 'Grass Bunkers' which work well. Berkhampstead (which I haven't played, but hear very good reviews) is also bunkerless. Probably quite a few others about too.

Penina is one of the worst courses in Europe.

Our greenkeepers would get a mower stuck on those mounds.

Golf courses don't need car parks.

 

[USER1999]

Golfers don't like pork based produce.
