One of the biggest things to piss me off in lockdown has been the closure of golf courses. Despite a 250,000 petition, despite medical and scientific advice stressing the benefits as opposed to the lower risk of golf outside with covid safe practices these tits of a Government were too lazy to consider that it was no more hazardous than fishing which they allowed. Its easier to impose stupid rules than use a bit of common sense .Wankers

Back in the day, when Calloway had just burst onto the scene with the Big Bertha my wife and I were paired with an Irish couple at La Cala in Spain. Both were no more than 5 foot and a tea leaf, decked out head to toe in Calloway clothing, wielding full sets of Calloway clubs in enormous Calloway tour bags. It quickly became clear neither of them could play and eventually I turned to Maurice and said "I've got to ask mate. You must have 3 grands worth of equipment between you, but neither of you can hit the ball. What's that all about?" He just looked at my and replied "Oh jeesus, I'm the Calloway rep for all of Ireland" to which I said "But you can't play" and he smiled and replied "I know ... but I can fucking sell"!!
Turned out they were a fabulous couple and we met up a couple of times in Marbella and got seriously pissed with them!

Superb.
About 20 yrs ago myself , father in law , & brother in law went for a long weekend with our wife’s to the Lakes . We had booked a tee time at Ulverston golf club on the Friday morning. When we tee’d off it was dry & pleasant.. but before we tee’d off we made our usual wagers but this time B-I-L introduced a new bet and game - The Snake& Rake . Simple it’s £5 payed by who ever is last player in a bunker and last player to 3 putt to the other 2.. Fast forward to the back 9 holes . The heavens opened like typically does in the Lakes and the the greens start to puddle , it was horrible but we had paid £ 30 ! On to the 18th , massive green and BIL is on the green right at the back , miles from the back but has to use a putter .. He obviously 3 putted , we were pissing ourselves but in the clubhouse window were 8 old boys bewildered why 3 dickheads were playing in horrendous conditions and rolling about laughing .
Ps, he also was last in a bunker , He won our little stableford comp but lost £20 which cost him more .

Ha! I love playing snake. My home course has enormous undulating greens and three putts are common — especially from above the hole where you can three putt with a four-footer to start — so we often have a regular snake bet. I haven’t played rake before; that’s a good one. We do play barkies (par off a tree) and splashies (par from the water, worth 2x) along with sandies, and greenies on the par 3s. I like these games where one good or bad shot can win or lose you money along with the usual Nassau. The high rollers play Daytona; I like Wolf best though it slows the game down. I still marvel at how you all in the isles get around regularly in three hours and it always takes Yanks 4.
