I played a match recently (this year) and the captain of the home club said grace and toasted the queen. It is probably the first time in my life I have been at a dinner table and witnessed either of those two things…

I've played in club matches where this has happened and you weren't supposed to remove your jacket until the captain removed his !

South Bradford is just as bad.

Both were pretty standard practice back 20 years ago. I tend to avoid inter club matches where dinner afterwards is compulsory these days.

Never played it. Which was the one that got sold off for the Next Warehouse? Members got about 30 grand each if what I heard was correct?

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
The area was massive to cover, like most courses that have run off areas where rain creates channels on paths etc. you could see the waste rock. It was very cheap to play there but there was a reason for that.
Oddly enough I was played the Faldo Course in the Algarve and was paired with the pro at Mansfield and a guy he was on holiday with. He never really sold himself as a pro and his standards were let’s say slack.

No indication of flag position, front , middle or back, it’s not that hard.

We started out with nothing
We then moved to positions of day with a b c on a pin sheet
Then we moved to red front yellow mid white back
Every club should use this.

Can’t remember the name of that one. I remember all the other clubs putting their joining fees up the year it closed.

That smacks of a military background. I had too many years of these traditions, I stuck to them but do not do so now. The only time I wear a jacket is to a wedding or funeral.

Same happened to a mate of mine. He refused to buy the knee length socks and instead wore his waterproofs for the whole round (even though it was a scorching July day)

We had a couple of visitors wearing knee length socks yesterday.
The pink shorts were bad enough but the socks.........

Thing is this was just a local like to think it's posh course and he had black socks with shorts made him buy white

Signage, or lack of is probably the biggie closely followed by the bar staff not knowing my drink order
(Any club that has a dress code for socks deserves to be closed down)

Oh but we must read and respect it .. it's their club
If they tell us to turn up naked it's just the way it must be

Signage definitely. Played at Cuddington yesterday and the signage was almost non-existent.

It certainly does! I wasn’t the only one to mention it yesterday.

We'll agree to differ then.
