Well behaved Dogs on the course??

what percentage is that?

Difficult to tell as I'm not sure it's a metric clubs are measured on. I pretty much ignored this thread as I don't care. The only dogs on a golf course I've had issues with have been those owned by non golfers on common land. No member would take a poorly behaved dog to their course, and they would of course clean up after it.

The alcohol gel in the golf bag though, really? Do you sleep in an oxygen tent ?
 
Just as much as I refuse to shake a pp's hand if he's popped in the bushes to relieve himself during a round, why should I accept the risk of getting dog piss on me because someone wants/needs their dog with them, plus why would a dog owner want to risk exposing their dog to significantly damaging chemicals, not exactly sure who needs to get a life?

I think you are being a bit over precious to be honest. I reckon as a rough guess, 50% of guys I see in public toilets don't wash their hands. Do you ask someone you meet if they have washed before you hold your hand out?

I tried, and like you.... failed :D


Can't stand the idea of someone having to walk their dog on the course.... take it for a walk PROPERLY where it can have a run around and chase a rubber ball. I think I'm basically 'doggist' as I can't really stand most owners.

Chlorine aside that would be like someone going swimming and taking their pet fish with them :D

Doesn't surprise me with your checkered sexual history:o

I've never taken my gold fish to the swimming pool, but I did tie fishing line to my budgie & took it kite flying.

Maybe it's in addition to the walk, not instead of?

Anyway, you don't strike me a fella who would 'hand gel'?

Yeh, I'm probably the opposite of sanitised,... sexually even more so :mad:

Hmmmm.... take your dog round the course then take it for a walk when you get home, doubt it.

Take it for walkies and a bit of ball chasing THEN take it round 18 holes, also probably not.

Can't see many forumers 'what's in the bag' listing a packet of dog poo bags :lol:

Think what you like, my personal hygiene is my responsibility, knowing someone has been the toilet during the round and meeting someone with no prior knowledge what they have done is down to them, yes i may be risking they don't wash their hands, but i know for sure I do and if your saying it's ok for people to risk passing infections or whatever, regardless of how remote then fine, your call.
next time one of your pp visits the bushes while playing and then shares his crisps on the table, dig in, but were else does he put his hands or fingers without washing or cleaning them, your issue not mine.
Grown men questioning someones personal hygiene, fill your boots!

I thought you said in post #127 you weren't posting on this thread again? :ears:
 
Playing RCP this year we got caught in a halestorm. It was freezing and I'd lost my mitts.

I used natures own hand warmers, we all shook hands afterwards:o

Saint hacker and cookielad are still with us. I've not heard from hooker for a while though:(

You ok Charlie? I hope it cleared up:o
 
Lets be honest with each other here.

Dog mess. Take a bag, clean it up.
Dog urine. Anyone that thinks dog urine is a problem after licking their ball clean after it's been in touch with the chemicals used on a golf needs a serious look at a chemistry book.
Dogs barking. Humm. FORE!
Here's a deal breaker though. You get offered membership at Sunningdale. Would you take it? Seriously. Sunningdale. That actually welcomes dogs.

Who one here has been to The Forest Of Arden with it's nice (penned in) deer. Where do they go to the lavy?

Glad you weren't in our four ball. There wasn't any fumbling in our lot. We remained hygienic throughout. Thoroughly sanitised. Apart from the language.
