Writing about golf, taken the plunge.

Blog 2 now live. Also fixed the follow button as well....got quite a few "followers" already!

 

[swanny32]

A decent read Chris. I've signed up and will stay tuned for me . INterested in finding out about "the incident" . Was it Jubilee Cup or Norman Plum ???

Writing about the "incident" has begun....keep an eye out.
Blog 2 is also live for those who missed the post on Friday afternoon.

Enjoyed the read Chris, cheers. Keep it up and I hope it helps get things off your chest.

Look forward to your next blog entry.

Thanks Scoobie, getting so many positive comments on here, facebook and twitter is so encouraging. Want to write about the "incident" but the current blog has gone in a different direction so the "incident" will have to wait a little longer.

Next segment is up, got a bit carried away so had to break it up, part 2 later in the week.

Quite enjoying this writing malarkey! Burnt my dinner as I was lost in typing.

Next part of the blog going live tonight, think it's set for 8pm.

For those who have asked, the "Incident" has been written and due to it's length will be released over 3 parts, Monday, Thursday, Monday....

I'm undecided as to whether I'm going to release the 3rd part at the moment though.

Good standard of writing so far.

Much prefer your 'observations on golf style' to the more 'personal golf diary" style.

If that makes any sense!

 

[swanny32]

Many thanks Huds.....blog 4 (part 1) goes live on Monday evening, which is a little more "personal" but I've tried to steer away from the usual "Then I hit a 7 iron for my 2nd shot". Someone called the next blog coming up "The Incident", didn't go with that for a title but I'm hoping this thread should liven up in discussion over the "incident". It's a good one.

Great reading, really enjoyed it.
But can I give one bit of advice without sounding too critical? Well I'm going to anyway

Sometimes reading a wall of text can be off putting and hinders the flow of the script. I think that if you put a few paragraphs in place then it will flow a lot better and be easier to read.

Great stuff though, keep it up!

Edit: Just reading the 2nd blog and really like the added pics that break up the text, looks and reads loads better!

 

[swanny32]

Yes, aware about the blocks of text hence the pictures, the problem when it comes to pictures though is copyright. Have to be a bit careful.

Why do I get the feeling I should run for cover??

 

[swanny32]

Part 3 goes live on Monday although I'm still not 100% sure whether or not I should post it.

Mate, I have read every single one so far, it is very entertaining.

Like that we can relate to it as club golfers who compete in comps etc. Keep it up and thanks!

Chris,

Enjoyed the last read. Funnily enough I had a similar instance regarding standing behind my playing partner in a club comp (it was my first ever golfing comp). He pointed out that I shouldn't do this for the reasons you mentioned in your blog so i stepped away and all was good . Schoolboy error on their part by the sounds of it.

Appreciate it Will, I'm really enjoyed writing the 5th blog last night, short, sweet and should make you smile. Scheduled to go live next Thursday.

Final part of the "Incident" is live.....wasn't sure if I was going to post it or not....the person in question might read it....could be a bit frosty down the club at the weekend!

having read your blog about the incident ,i feel that you are going to have to grow a pair.
By that i mean you really need to confront the bloke who has responded to the original facebook post.
tell him face to face your side of the story and see if the waters flow the other way when he knows the full ins and outs and not just bad feeling from bad losers on a public media site.
dont stay quiet about it as you will be seen as the bad guy ,stand up for yourself and your club .
like i have said ,GROW A PAIR .
good luck and let us know how you get on . :thup:

You're right, I think the reaction I got was more upsetting for me purely because I felt like the person in question had gone behind my back and I didn't see him as that kind of character really. I should probably speak to him about it. I think the whole situation was discussed at a recent committee meeting so I'll wait to see what the minutes say about it and then work out my plan of action.

thats a bit more positive swanny, you really must stand up for yourself in this ,if you dont im betting that even if you were to leave this club and join another it would follow you there . as sure as hell if people start slinging mud some of it will stick ,you have to get it sorted asap to stop it getting out of hand .
