scothunter 12,609 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Once caddied for a guy from Dumfries I used to work for Many years. He played of a handicap of 3 or 4 . He was playing in some fuckibg fancy tornement. Load of snobs not my cup of tea. Had one women shouting over " hey cad I say cad, what's the score"? Haven't a f*****g clue hen ! My other only involvement was a 9 hole pitch and putt. Spied a tee on the green bbtvdown to snatch it up, and was duly whacked on the coupon with a lee Trevino !

Bosun11 537 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 The one sport i'll never take up nor try... Why... Because i'm sure i'll like it and, seeing my brother the golf nut, with every spare minute either playing or watching, I have too many things and one in particular, that I love to do and fecking golf I fear would ruin it...!!!

Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I played for quite awhile, got very serious, 2/3 times a week. Brought lots of kit back from holidays in the US, that sort of thing. Needed another knee op, so didn't re-new my membership at the golf club at the time and found i didn't miss playing, so iv'e not bothered again. It can/did get addictive though.

I play Mick.......Played alot when i was younger and was not too bad actually. If i hadn't stayed in a tiny wee town with a shitty golf course maybe i could have been a bit better. Anyway i took it back up again more serious this year and just got my handicap of 11 a few months back. Probably nearer an 8 if i'm honest but playing once a week doesn't get mean consistent enough...... THL golf tournamment????.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratreeper 441 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I used to play with a group of mates as a teenager, never serious but we were pretty competitive at everything. I don't mind it but I really hate snobs and golf attracts some of the worst, I remember going to a new place with my Dad and the smuggest looking prick strutting across the car park and asking 'is this your car?' whilst looking like there was a bad smell. He proceeded to say 'this isn't the kind of club for you' and marched off, total tit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
