The guy is probably shy and wants to make a new local friend. And why not.

Very noble of you. When I last played my father in law, he hurt his back and had to drop out after about nine holes. I was winning at the time and had yet to engineer his comeback. Interestingly, that was 15 years ago at Builth Wells Golf Club.

Why are you still talking to yourself?

Hello DS :wave

I'm a sticker for etiquette too but I had to consider the wider issues surrounding the incident; primarily that the interloper was a newly acquainted colleague of mine.

By the way, I threw the game. Was playing the father in law.

Hello Malc. That was an amazing coincidence indeed!

However, I'm a bit of a stickler for golf etiquette. If he just popped up out of nowhere as you describe, to raise his flag as you stuck it in the hole, I should point out that he had no right to be on the green.

The correct action on reaching the clubhouse would have been to report him to the Steward for such a transgression and have him ejaculated from the premises.

Although, not if he had actually been playing against you in disguise. There is nothing within the rules to prevent him doing that, as long as he declared his correct handicap.

Now that that's out of the way, did you win? Or post a good score?

Really Doggy? Or should I call you Gricer, or Malc, or Palatino, or Pacharan?

Her husband had been entombed in ice...

Poor form old boy.

The flag would should have been out as you were putting the 6 footer.

Good point, it's almost like it didn't happen.

No, I normally leave it in for anything over 4 foot and my playing partner removes the flag once the ball is on its way.

[FiveTimes]

Saturday comes round and just as I'm about to hole a 6 footer on the 18th a familiar figure strolls to the centre of the green removes the flag and issues a round of applause as my ball plops into the hole.

You are quite right. Golf is very odd.

[MyUserName]

He was probably going to be there anyway and happened to recognise you.

[BrilloPad]

Is it just me or us there something just a little bit odd

You are quite right. Golf is very odd.
