...you arrive at the first green and realise your putter is still standing in your living room where you'd been practising putting the night before :o
 
borrow your playing partner's putter, at least then you have something to blame when the score goes the wrong way!

That handicap seems high for the scores (forgive my ignorance, am new to the game and the h/c system), have you been playing for a long time and only just got a h/c?

Welcome to the forum!
 
Yes you're right. I think I should be more between 16-20 but I'm yet to submit a proper score this year. Just haven't had the time to play a full round yet, just quick 9 holes down the local range every now and then.

In fact, you've convinced me to drop my weekend plans and go play 18 instead! :)
 
You know you're in for a bad day when...you come down to breakfast and the kids come running in with cards and presents singing "Happy birthday mummy" :( :eek:
 
When you get your first client of the day having only had 4 hours kip, she gets in the car and traps her hand in the door, then puts it in reverse instead of first and nearly hits the car behind, then tries to kill me by trying to pull out of a junction with 30 tons of lorry about 15 yards away.


And its only 9.07..........
 
You get to the golf club for an early breakfast (prior to a visit to the docs) to find nowhere to park, and 200 women milling about for a 5 county match. So no breakfast then.

Then it dawns on you, they will be there all week.

No practice nets, no range, no chipping, no putting, no bar (til after 5), no locker room.
Course closed at 12.00 on Sunday afternoon, until Friday at 3.30 (if I'm lucky).

Apparently, it is a privilege to hold one of these events.

Yeah, right.

Does that not mean you get courtesy at other courses in your area?
 
you get to site and realise you left your waterproof jacket at home.... and its raining.... and you've got shorts and a t-shirt on... feck! Today was a chilly day to say the least!

You get to the golf course and ditto.....

Still, not as bad as working I suppose :D
 
Can you go to someone elses course for a 'courtesy' breakfast?

That sounds like a good idea :D
Golf courses could slap on a fiver on the green fee and offer a "free" all you can eat breakfast.
Although some might not reach the first tee. :)

Not sure my track could afford this. A fiver doesn't cover the food i'd eat if it was a free for all :o
 
A fiver wouldn't get you a bacon roll at my gaff - but then you can't get a simple bacon roll.
A full english would knock you back at least a tenner, more if you want toast, and tea
