Bob cost himself a chance of a wn with 6 dropped shots in his second round 72. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_nomad Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Played in a betterball trophy with my mate at Ladybank yesterday - we dovetailed really well and a couple of birdies on stroking holes plus a chip-in magic 2 set us up for a really good score. We didn't quite convert down the stretch and had to settle for a 64 which lost out on countback. Gutted as it'd have been a very early invite to the prizegiving, and we missed holeable putts at 16 and 17. I also played in the medal at Tulliallan yesterday afternoon - the greens there are in terrific nick given the recent chilly east wind, but I had played all my good golf in the morning so wasn't surprised to limp round in a nett 76. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 After a spell of terrible front 9s followed by good back 9s I managed to put a decent score together today in a medal in tough conditions. Out in 39 and back in 41 for a nett 72. Should generate a wee cut. By my reckoning Handicap Index down from 7.8 to 7.4. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we came onto the 18th we spotted him hurriedly loading up his car and disappearing without having made a visit to the bar.

D Angelo Barksdale Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I've always found it strange that you have to buy everyone a drink if you hit a hole in one, surelyyou should get the drinks bought for you after achieving something like that. I wonder if someone got it the wrong way round years ago and its just stuck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how many "fake" holes-in-one would be made in bounce games if people were getting drinks bought for them from a full club-house (and likely to be conveniently made in the week prior to pay-day...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this but would go further in saying you should have your drinks bought for you by your golf party, not the entire club house. Being guilted into buying a pint for complete strangers (who are most likely old dicks) for doing something brilliant is an alien concept to me. See your mates right and f**k everyone else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 My golf insurance covers the bar bill for a hole in one, which has been extremely handy on the whole no times I’ve had to use it so far 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 There’s no way I would be buying a round of I got a hole in one at my course. The prices are quite high and as has been said earlier I’m not buying a drink for the old duffers who infuriate me with their slow play and all round arse hole ness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The done thing at Bishopbriggs the last few years is that the bar staff will lay out a couple of trays of vodka and whisky and you just replace the bottles used, rather than shell out full price. I can only dream that this will be a problem I have someday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
