Honest_Man#1 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Now that we’re all heading for tier 4 again, does that mean no golf? Or is it just golf only within your own tier same as tier 3? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netan Sansara Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Golf within your own tier (or 5 miles of your LA boundary) is my understanding. Played 9 holes today. Course was soggy, my putting was dreadful but just good to get out and get some fresh air. Looking forward to making full use of having a membership for the first time ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Random but what the hell does a tiger line mean??? Every time I’m on the tee my mates say I’m taking a tiger line and I’ve literally not a clue what they are on about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 M My friends used to call me Faldo, cause they would hit driver on a tee I hit a rescue or five iron or whatever. Faldo-golf. But you score better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tee shot off the 1st also appears to have gone from one of the easiest in world golf to one of the hardest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 What’s everyone’s thoughts on a gimmie putt? I play with my mate often and I like to hole out every putt like a medal, he moans because I don’t give him putts from 3ft but he’s a terrible putter!!!!I get that it slows play down a tiny bit but if you practice how you play in medals it can only be beneficial?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing on a tee at a par 3 watching the group ahead take the time to hole out every single putt in what is clearly a bounce game is annoying TBH. Lots of little things that folk do which only slow play by 'a tiny bit' are cumulative factors in slow play.

I wouldn’t do it if we had folk behind us waiting, I was out with him the other day and we were stuck behind a 4 ball of a more mature age ( older women ) did they let us through??? Nope 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing that I hate is people waiting until the people in front have holed out before they take a tee shot!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing that I hate is people waiting until the people in front have holed out before they take a tee shot!! On a reachable par 4? Or just in general? As an aside, if someone is putting on an adjacent green (ie one within ear shot), I'd normally wait before hitting my tee shot. I once missed a 3 footer in a medal as I was put off by the sound of a guy murdering his drive into the trees and screaming "fucking fore" on the tee beside us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
