[Other Sport] Golf !

I appreciate it's not quite as sociable, but loving the speed of 2 ball games at the moment. Hardly any waiting, no 4 1/2 to 5 hour rounds, now done in about 3.20 !!

3.20 mins, are you stopping for 3-course meal at the 10th then

Where do you normally play ? 3.20-3.30 is about normal for a Saturday 3-ball for us with 8 min gaps and ‘normal’ rules. I’ve only experienced 4.5- 5 hour rounds on long courses abroad (or when stuck behind the monthly ladies medal).

It's great to have golf back

Depends on how many balls you lose I suppose

In fairness a good 20 - 30 mins for ambling and a bit of ball hunting could easily have come off.

Isn't golf a sport for grown men just to tow a wally trolley around full of metal sticks

Played Foxhills on Tuesday. Despite having two in front and two behind not held up once nor did we hold anyone else up. Really was Champagne Golf!

Both twosomes only played 9 so we literally didn't see another soul for the last 4 holes which given they have 2 courses that cross over each other is quite something. Playing the 18th was eerie as the terrace outside the clubhouse that is normally packed was empty. We finished up and walked back to our respective cars and didn't see another human being. It was like having your own private course.
