Bloody Hell
Do the Royals use your course?
I'm not a golfer but have had friends that are members of private clubs.
I always thought the biggest cost was joining and annual membership.
I thought ince that was paid it wasnt that much to play dependant upon week or weekends.
No wonder some golf clubs are struggling

Yes.....

Morning

I've no interest in playing golf and, even if I did, I'd baulk at the £100 a round they charge at my local course.
That's not to mention the £200 joining fee and £1000 a year subs.

I am not dead dead posh wat as like you is.
My club is very friendly. I play in the seniors (of course) and on the Thursday comp there will be 60+ of us.
No joining fee. £425 a year. Play as often as you like.
Each comp you CHOOSE to play in will be £3.50 but that all goes back in prize money eg I have over £125 in my kitty.

Good morning folks. Looks brighter here today

We may go shopping today as the cupboards are a bit empty.

 

[Dave7]

I've arrived and to prove it I'm here.
Go on, whos catch phrase was that?
Not much rain overnight and its stopped completely now, unlike further north. They are sadly in for more of the wet stuff.
Was, again, in bed early last night (my own fault for having such a desirable body ). Slept well and up early this morning.
Just enjoying my coffee. Next is breckie then golf.
Late lunch today is spag bol. I am on the wagon so alas no wine (unless I cave** in).
**cave in, wine, get it ?? Never mind, its too early for that.

Morning Campers........sort of a light dull grey colour here, no rain or wind forecast. A boring sort of weather today which is appropriate as it reflects my mood this morning.

Slept through till 5.00 (good by recent standards), noted Mrs P was not in bed, went to bathroom, back to bed. Then became aware of TV sound drifting in to room. I spent 30 minutes trying to ignore this before going to ask the good lady to turn it down. I sat in bed reading for a while only for Mrs P to reappear saying she'd been awake all night and when was I going to put the light out so she could sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I know the direction today could be heading..............................mainly it will involve me keeping out of the way.

I may clean another bike........................

We went to a pub quiz last night. Came 6th which was OK. It was one of those were one point is deducted for each member in the team, -3 for three in team, -6 for six etc. Not keen on those.

We didn't win the standard up, sit down bingo - one of our team was third.

I mixed up Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas

Max Bygraves.

Shopping in the metropolis known as Barnstaple this morning.

Sounds far more reasonable

 

[172traindriver]

Yes.....

Must be other courses that dont charge so much
