Apologies. From now on I shall remember to write:
"Hippied that for you"

the same should really apply to all bikes with only one portion of suspension too.0 -

Two of the guys in my shift are golfists, one plays off a 11 handicap :?
I've often commented on how golf isn't really a proper sport, because proper sport is something you can't do whilst smoking a cigarette and I'd rather push my intestines around my garden with a stick than play golf.
But eventually I gave in and joined them for a round, and now they can't hear me I must say I quite enjoyed it.0 -

isn't that politically incorrect though? i mean don't they have a "T" or something for that stuff0 -
Golf is great, but golfers are tossers. Especially the ones that spend all that money looking likea golfist in their silly pringle sweaters and teflon trousers. I like the John Daly approach to the game. Hit it as hard as you can,and if you find it, hit it again.0

lol i occassionally go to the driving range, i tend to go in trainers shorts and a hoody, the amount of dirty looks i get :x0
-
Same here hehe. Pull the big stick out and slam drives to the end, while the old giffers look on. Great when they hit a drive about 170 yards, then I put a 6 iron past it ;-)0

i think i deserved some of the looks though ive spooned a few balls into the wall of my little *pen* so it just pinballed back and forth before me and i once sliced the ball which caused it to sky and smacked the metal roofing letting out an earblowing noise, i think i made a few of them shit themselves :X0

I've done that loads.
Best thing to do is, as everyone turns round to look at you, do the same, and pretend it was the bloke 3 tees behind you. 0 -
Haha, I hit the metal roof once! Got a lob wedge out and opend up the face, straight into the roof. I also aim at the ball collector cart ;-)0
-
ive never seen the ball collector
, i was using a 3 wood though so its a little harder to hit the roof :C, i just ducked behind the parting trying not to laugh 
and norther why are you watching golf?WER%$%@$%@!£$0 -

I once saw him at the Open in the 90s at Royal St Georges hit a 440 yard drive on a par 4 to EIGHT FEET from the pin!0

I used to drive to Caerleon golf club...in my Dad's coal wagon.
We'd hire a 1/2 set and thrash the balls all over Monmouth, or is it Gwent?
Suppose it depends on the time of year.
( Also got into the pants of a gorgeous underwear model in the cab once too ! )0 -
We have a municipal golf course nearby that is pretty good. A 7 iron, a putter and half-a-dozen lake balls is all you need.
The actual game is fairly sh*te but as a social event it takes some beating.0 -
I sometimes go to the driving range and try to hit the pin on the 18th hole on te municipal course right next to it... you get some right dodgy looks but tis good funFormally known as Coatbridgeguy0

I'm bored witless by golf but the local municipal golf course has a bit of handy XC on it. No problem as long as you stay off the greens and fairways when someone is whacking a ball

I am a golfer and can relate to what Sonic says.
The lowest my handicap got to was 2, its around 5 now. Could have gone pro about 10 years ago.
Anyway, i agree, too many golfers are complete f*ds!
I was fortunate to be quite good at it years ago, and won a few trophies. Sadly as i come from a working class back ground this was frowned upon by the tw@ at the Golf club as i wasnt born into royalty.
Although that said, i enjoyed being club champion in 99 and having said tw@s be nice to me.
I'd say Golf is a sport though and it is to be enjoyed if not taken too seriously.
All these pringle wearing golfer arse wipes really need to get a grip of reality, esepcially the ones who look down on others
Also, some of you who mock it, should in fact have a go. its quite refreshing beating the jeebus out of a ball after a frustrating day in work!supersonic wrote:Same here hehe.

Absolutely!0 -

Can't stand golf, or the waste of good achres that it is 0 -
I think golf is the ONLY game where being handicapped actually helps.
