banjo48 928 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 #24 Pianoman, think watching paint dry is more exciting ! Lol. My SIL's are always trying to get me into golf, but I keep saying "maybe one day" but not for me just yet. Wife's younger brother spends a small fortune on it, golf that is, he travels all over Asia just to play golf ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Golf is OK as a form of exercise and getting some fresh air. It really becomes stupid when taken seriously. My local golf course is in beautiful Staffordshire countryside with the river Blythe running through it. It is a pleasure just to be there. I fish in the river so no shortage of golf balls.

benjamin1945 16,139 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Kath - in that case I've taken plenty of practice swings! Don't mind tennis, do enjoy watching snooker though. One that I can't stand is cricket! Possibly because I have no idea what the rules are! Melissa,that could be a 'silly backward point' or even a ' backward short leg' but thanks for ' declaring' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I built a 5 hole par 3 golf course and named it Kerput International GC. It became international when my mate visited from Wales. Only 2 greens remain due to complaints about trees growing in the other 3. We had a few fun tournaments and there were special rules. Handicaps were given out following aperatifs. Ladies got 2 shots per drink. Men 1 shot. So after 3 drinks a lady had a handicap of 6 and so on. Of course some contestants really worked hard at getting a big handicap, resulting in a 3 ball rule having to be made. Once 3 balls were lost then back to the pro shop (shed with wheelbarrow full of rusty clubs). The last time the course was used was after my cider tasting open day. We also had a regatta with toy boats on the pond. Unfortunately some contestants got one events mixed up with the other. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
