"get in the hole!"

"USA. USA. USA. USA.!"

i know golf is a bt sh!t to watch, but it really doesn't help proceedings when the plebs start shouting as if they were at a football game.

i blame Sky Sports and the Sun.

Also overheard:

'You're going home in a ******g Range Rover'

and

'Who ate all foie gras? Who ate all the foie gras? You fat bastard, you fat bastard, you ate all the foie gras'

Probably.

its quality, and you lot obviously don't know what you are talking about!
I dont know why golf gets so much grief from people who don't even play the sport- go slag off curling or something. ๐Ÿ˜€

It's the attitude of the old farts at clubs that is off putting

ton- you clearly aren't a golfer then ๐Ÿ™‚ you are miles off with the working class comment as well; it is played by [i]middle[/i] class people trying to be above themselves- but mainly its played by people who enjoy it!

Golf courses other hand are excellent riding spots, those bunkers make great jumps, and the grass surface is even smoother than Llandegla!

i think i'm outnumbered! no other golfers on here?

as an aside- even if you dont enjoy playing golf, is the ryder cup still not very exciting to watch?

i play golf occasionally, or at least used to.

i often used to go up to the local 18 hole play-and-play and while away a few hours with a mate.
since moving to germany i've been unable to enter onto any course as i don't have a "platzreife" or "platzerlaubnis". essentially a piece of paper saying that i know how to conduct myself on a golf course, know the rules to adhere to on a golf course and the etiquette of being on a golf course.

oh, and the "platzreife" costs moeny. can't remember how much, but you can't have one unless you're a member of a club - which costs more money.
golf in germany is very elitist, unlike in the UK.

golf in itself isn't a bad game. it takes a bit of skill and perseverence, but is very dull to watch and to hear people talking about.

oh, and i'm distinctively working class....

Yes, but have any of you ever ridden your bikes on a golf course?

@ Gary, yes.

and kiteboarded and snowkited across them. the mounds before the bunkers make great kickers.

Not just yankspeak - it's the correct typographic term for a full stop in the UK

I really enjoy playing and watching golf. Give me a spare few hours and I'll go out on my bike every time though these days!

My grandfather played off 3 and had to cycle to the courses he played at as he didn't have / couldn't afford a car - but then he was from St Andrews.

I can't stand golf - but that may be because I don't have any aptitude for it.

Tried it a couple of times, but got fed up trying to get the ball up the chute, through the portcullis and into the castle
