HATE THE GAME was only a young man in my 20s took a girl for a walk in a nice field near a beach in the summer lay in the grass ended up in some sand hole . When I hear several voices I looked up 2 or 3 blokes not a stones throw away trying to hit a hole with there balls . I was doing the same thing and about to get a hole in one when , I had to get up and run put me right of my stroke .
you try and run like this .
playing [quote=BobtheTrain]Nothing can beat a good game of golf.
You need to watch out for the sand!
I wonder if attitudes to golf is the same all over the world? There's a golf course in my village with a couple of public footpaths over it that go past the clubhouse. They are generally very snotty about people using the paths. As a contrast, when I was over in Australia last year, we walked regularly over my nephews local course at Mona Vale and the ladies playing there stopped their games to chat to us! So different....I could almost have joined them!
That golf club in your village Jay is a very famous one, I played there with the trade association I worked at, our presidents cup and over 150 corporate players booked in that day. Including a dinner afterwards. The event was organised by the regional directors secretary, a very respected lady in the association. When we arrived and the member garages golfers started to arrive all hell broke loose, they told the organising lady that she could not enter the clubhouse as women were barred....it was raining and they suggested to get a chair and sit in the car park handing out start cards..... After about 50 players and staff were up in arms a snap vote unanimously agreed to cancel the day and set of for the municipal course at the Licky's.....your local golf course even sent us an invoice and we returned it suggesting they forward it to our legal department as they were handling complains and claims for compensation from our member garages......we heard nothing more. famous and good course but with a very antiquated attitude.
Not played since the limping got worse, never any good anyway ;-).
