1Wally 204 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 My bull is 5 eighths 3 eighths reverse so she was never gonna be a racy dog and most of time i spend out is on golf course. Iv resigned myself to netting hares or takin 177 for them rabbits mate. You need a really quick dog for them on there. Nothing to trip em up or owt. Lads beddy whip misses most on there an its wick. All good fun but 2 fast fa mine. Boys goss does alright tho. If your into shootin or birds great... Otherwise id say a small whippet or 3 quarter bred for golf course jobs....ATB Wally Quote Link to post

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Waste of fcuken time, also could be the end of your dog should he have mishap of hitting a bunker, happened to a local lad here and he wont look at another course. Dog snapped his neck afer hitting the mount that surrounds that bunker. 1 Quote Link to post

blackpack 70 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 i tend to stay away now from golf courses, seen some good dogs come off in a bad way hitting a bunker, also on our golf courses they have short stakes from the ground which could pierce a chest of a dog Quote Link to post
