Reply to: Who here plays golf?

[darmstadt]

I hate it, and what is more I particularly hate the petty institutions that have grown up around it

I think you need to ask a Scotsman, didn't they invent it?

NW golf meet anyone ?

That's Buckinghamshire, isn't it?

[lukemg]

Love playing golf, hate virtually anything to do with golf clubs (not the sticks). I did join one club for a few years but had nowt to do with the admin of it, just turned up with mates to play. Now I just get a game wherever I can.

I think someone should organise a CUK golf day

Paintballing would be more fun.

If any of the golfers out there who live in the Surrey, Berkshire area fancy a game, early doors on a Saturday morning, I can offer a round at New Zealand Golf Club?

If you play all three in a weekend is that like an Ironman?

You wood have to ask Brillo.

Yes but are they any good?

Brighton has at least 2 (possibly more) but only one of them is any good.

Littlehampton has 2 good ones and another fairly rubbish one.

As I learned at the weekend, Shanklin (IoW) has three, yes three, crazy golf courses.

Indeed I am Mich, indeed I am.

And thanks for reminding me because I was in the middle of compiling this year's edition of Gricer's Golfing Almanac - A Review of 2013 (exclusive to these pages) and if it weren't for you I'd have forgotten all about it!

Watch this space...

To the OP - if it makes any difference, I do prefer this though :

What is that bloke at the front doing to that poor dog?

Gricer's a golf fan.

I do. I enjoy golf.

The hopelessly uncoordinated are unlikely to take to it obviously, as are the unconvertably ill-mannered, but there are golf courses available for all social strata.
