If your bats are graphite/carbon/composite, they go all strange when burnt.

My bats died with Spanish soil on them, so thats at least 3 yrs of no use :o

Stop complaining. My aged pensioner mother regularly played up to five games a week (sometimes two in a day) and played off a single figure handicap.

As far as I can make out the game is supposed to be fun not a chore. Are you spending a lot of time looking for your ball in the longer grass? ;D ;D

If the ball didn't go where you wanted it to, its clearly faulty, and not worth looking for...

...I've been known to get through a lot of balls ;D

Ah, I see you have played this game. Fortunately, I'm interested in wildlife, as I spend a lot of time amongst it. ::) ::) ::)

I dabbled at Sewerby Park when I was 18. My Mum and Dad persuaded me it was the next best thing after sliced Bread.

It wasn't, after taking 13 shots on one green to get into the hole, I decided it wasn't for me.The signs were there! It was for both my Mum and Dad though. My Dad even managed to play off 12 for quite a few years.

Have you played on Mr Opti's private golf course yet?  ;)

I've heard it is a good way to see a small part of the grounds on his Lincolnshire country estate.  ::) :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes, the game for those with a competitive streak but who are too clapped-out to do real sport. ;D
