ri Alban Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Matched the longest drive today. Not many left to come . 🤞 I'd have won it if I didn't clip the bank of a bunker.

A tip for some, if someone attacks you on a golf course, don't throw your club away, wrap it round their head.

If so, there is something far wrong. Issues arise with guys using rangefinders for shots under 70 yards all the time and kidding themselves on they can read greens. Like @Irufushisays, they should be seeking out a bowling membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Enjoyed that today. Should have carded better, but a big improvement. I had a shot of the F9, the club I've been chasing and hit it about 280+. It felt so comfortable. If I can't get one in excellent condition, I'll go for the SZ. What a difference to my R1, tho that was going 260+ today. My chipping let me down a bit today, which is usually great. Putting coming back. I'm gonnae enjoy the course in this weather while I can. Out Sunday, but might go again the morra. ⛳🏌️♀️🏌️🌞😎💪🏴 The third one was supposed to be 👍 no idea how that is showing.

One guy, gave himself preferred lies, everywhere, balls hit so far OB they were in a different postcode miraculously are in bounds, find your ball out of bounds apparently not a penalty shot if you play out of OB 🤷🏻♂️, giving yourself putts, took +8foot as conceded twice and clearly used a broken calculator when scoring. It was beyond ridiculous. I get it’s not the Masters but we weren’t even playing the same sport the rules were that different 😂 Thankfully, me and my partner won the game fairly handily. However, I did wonder the point of this pretence was. You're a bigger man than me. I'd be banned by now. I can't abide cheating. Tho I do believe the rules should be changed about landing in divets. Boils ma piss when you hit a great shot and you end up in some ***** mess. Tho we thieving birdies could be part of the problem.

kila Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 What about being in a footprint in the bunker from a group in front? Worse than a fairway divot. And why do some leave the rake in the middle of the bunker instead of edge where you can collect without leaving additional footprints?

When I took up the game and played various courses in team matches or opens, just about all had signage or local rule info stating the rake should be placed in the middle and on the flat of a bunker. I've always followed this etiquette to this day and don't agree with rakes being left outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rake outside of a bunker can impact play, if it’s inside then it’s not really going to affect anything.

But I'm sure we all know this. Or don't hit your ball near the bunker 🤗😆👍🤪😎⛳🏌️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irufushi Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I would leave bunkers as proper hazards and not rake them, if you go in one (not been in one for years) then just smooth it out with your foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 In the bunker but the handle touching the edge so you can get it without walking into the bunker? Otherwise you leave footprints getting the rake before you've taken your shot and if you don't get out in one there's a risk your ball will end up in one of those footprints.

Mikey1874 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It has seemed to gradually get calmer. The LIV trip to Australia seemed to soften some attitudes.

Byyy The Light Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 So many people looking very silly now and will have to do an about turn 🤣 Writing was on the wall when they announced they’ll be selling the teams as franchises. Player trading/transfers etc will all happen eventually and PGA have gone for the blood money they were so appalled at. 4Aces etc will become Callaway/Taylormade etc backed teams and it will be like F1 eventually which was always the plan.

Top players must’ve been aware what was going on behind the scenes. Rory had massively softened and the cynic in me wondered if him being one of the first and only on camera to congratulate Brooks as he walked at the end was staged.
