Well behaved Dogs on the course??

[HomerJSimpson]

Remember playing with James Hunt a few times and he had two huge alsations with him every time, off the lead. I'm nervous of dogs at the best of times, but playing with a world famous celebrity and with his pets was off putting. They were awesome. They simply wouldn't move a muscle without his word. They were impeccable

I read through pages of this dribble? Who cares, let the course owners decide.

I remember he had one, never saw the 2nd one.

Can't say where, can't say when, but I used to give his Alsation water when JH and his buddies played at my club when I was a kid.

Had two, mother and son. Think the younger dog sadly died following an accident

Hit on the head by a Topflite?

Fortunately not and I never played Topflite Can't remember exactly what happened but the bitch never moved without his command and the other dog would look at Hunt, look at its mum and do whatever she did. Was brilliant to see

Why though? Just comes across to me as, ooooh look how well trained my dog is, how clever am I, what does the dog get out of it? he's not exactly running around having fun, it's walking a maximum of 200-250 yds before sitting down and repeat!! and if your giving the dog attention then that's just adding to slow play and yes I hear the "I take my mine when it's quiet", again that's not for the dogs benefit it's aruse for some extra Golf

Have you got the same attitude to working dogs?

Are you going to question what a guide dog gets out of not running around having fun or does that argument only wash with domestic pets and golf courses?

Great post .

Many courses are owned by the members and it they they who decide and the rules will be written in the constitution.

At my club, dogs are allowed except for during competitions. I don't have a dog but love seeing them on the course, enjoying the outdoors - just like the golfers.

What have working dogs got to do with it, and since when have I said anything against the dogs, if anything my comments are about their welfare and safekeeping.
Plenty of experience around working dogs, thanks for asking.

Stupid post, 2 completely different things,

Not stupid at all.
Have you ever owned a dog?
Personally I believe a well trained dog would get great enjoyment out of being out walking & obeying his/her owner for a 4 hr walk.

What has me owning a dog got to do with not liking them on the golf course, you believe what you like, but to me a well behaved dog on the golf course looks bored, fun for most pets is chasing a ball and sniffing around playing with the owner, they are not at work are they, if it's all about fresh air and 4hrs exercise, buy a treadmill for them and put it in your garden.

I totally disagree. The dogs at my course really seem to be enjoying themselves.

Quite a stroppy little madam aren't you?
The dog would get more enjoyment out on the course rather than being couped up at home whilst its owner is having a knock.
Personally I couldn't care less if dogs are allowed on the course because I'd never take mine,he'd be a nightmare & he's bone idle.

Of course they do,they love being out with their owners.
I was putting new fencing up in our horses field last week end,took the mother in laws dog with me.
He was happy as Larry pottering around for a few hours.

All these people who put the time in to train the dog and look after them should be admired and respected, no issue or problem with that, I am fully aware how much time and effort it takes, just because I don't agree with them on a golf course as do many others on here I'm being portrayed as anti dogs, like you've stated you sound like a lazy owner and that's your choice. Bit don't try trolling me and making out I'm something I'm not

Another example of you missing the point!! How much fun would your mother-in-laws dog had if you'd of made it sit next to you while you put the fence up instead of him being allowed to potter about, they are completely obedient on the course and don't move more than a few yards from the owner, ie not potter about!

I can see where Paul is coming from. I had a mate who would bring his dog for evening knocks and while it was only social golf, and on common land so no issue with it being there, the bloody thing was the polar opposite of how James Hunt's dogs were in my previous posts and would run all over the place, pick balls up on the green etc. He was out for fun and to give the dog a romp, but frustrating nonetheless. The dog was just out to get its nose into anything and everything.

Trolling,really??? Grow up.
When have I potrayed you as anti dog?
Please point that out.
I wouldn't class myself as a lazy owner.
We selected a breed of dog that doesn't require extra long walks every day.
He gets regular walks & is very rarely left alone.
You really do struggle at times don't you.

Well that's the owners fault,not the dogs.

Only with you, love the excuse a dog that doesn't require extra long walks every day, you mean because you can't be bothered, but then again you described the dog as Lazy,
Please enlighten us, what is this breed that doesn't require much exercise and is lazy?
