Playing a round...

[Aperitif]

Anyone enthused by the British Open? that's the normal term used for an excuse to wear a randomly bad piece of knitwear or tote a tranche of nylon with the word 'PING' on the side. (Always want to write 'PONG' on t'other...one day...)
But.
There is a darker side to this phrase apparently. and now there are threats to take the covers off the woods and the drivers and lay bare people's preferences for their tee shots...here.

Do you play?

My brothers-in-law are mad for golf but I've never seen the attraction.

I've visited the local driving range twice and each time had a crack at belting 100 golf balls down the range to see how far I could get them to go. The ones that went behind me didn't count. The ones that pinged off the sidewalls and hit me (and others) didn't count either. The three that I managed to hit properly went all of 30ft down the range, but that was far enough for me to do a little whoopin' an' hollerin'

I can appreciate the skill involved though and feel sorry for the golfers who manage to find the sand pits and puddles (is that the correct golfing terminology?).

No and no.

I am giving Shaun the benefit of the doubt and like to think that he didn't follow the link, otherwise his reply could be
read as complicated metaphor for onanism.

Nope ... and now I have, I feel like a bit of a doofus.

 

[Shaun]

Errr....you might want to check that link, unless there's some subliminal type thingy going on here that I'm not smart enough to understand.

Playing a round .... Playing around ... I've only just got it myself after following the link.

Subtle 'Teef ... #yougotme!

Oh, and to answer the question ... a definite NO!

 

[Slioch]

Doh! Now I get it. Monday's are never good for me..........

There's nothing more delightful than playing an unfamiliar course and smashing a brand new Titleist 200 yards straight down the middle.

Shaun. Topics...you're all for 'em! Understandably you're also confused because people are slinging the chairs around in the café, and it is getting all political snobby 'in here' lately. I could have posted as AnotherSamSnead I suppose, but there's a fairway to go before that happens. "Fore!"
Maybe this could be moved to the tee thread?

Can I claim the 5th (it's a par 3).
I did wonder if the thread about clubs in Languedoc Roussillon was a sister thread.

 

[Shaun]

I wonder if the "players" will have their cards marked? (only took me two hours to come up with that!)

Does your "other half" know? (Have you clicked the link in the OP? )

 

[jhawk]

Did you know the meaning behind the phrase, "Be there or be square" is because you're not "a-round"...

 

[PaulB]

No, can't stand it and always thought it was the province of the unadventurous, myself.

Played every week until 4 years ago when I spent the annual c lub fees on a bike instead.
