My first target is just to hit the ball. If there’s a crossbar to aim for from about 20 feet with a lob wedge, I’m gonna be all over that 😂 My brother has a driving net in his garden, I may have to pay him a visit before I tee off again.

No competitions yet and you can only have people from a maximum of two households in each group. Hopefully that bit will change after another three weeks.

Yeah, just got to do what we have to do just now. Stableford sweepers will be how we start with our group of boys, no point going back to play extra balls just now, just be glad to get out.

Wife and I next Tuesday, weekend booked solid here.. Yesterday was brutal. The portal went online at midday and crashed immediately with no one able to get times. We eventually got later in the afternoon to accommodate all 12 of us. We also have a guaranteed time for a Saturday medal, but obviously only 2 can use that at the moment. One of the boys can’t manage it, so we only needed to scrape one public one for then, which we managed to get this morning, so all good so far. Need to try and get some stuff sorted for every day next week, I’ll be out everyday if I can and she’s more than happy to get a rid of me for a few hours.

It's going to be like this for some time I believe. My wife and I get out every couple of weeks as most of my time is spent coaching football with my boys. We will have separate carts, as I refuse to walk 18 holes😉. I really enjoy golf, I can break 100 on a good day, not often mind you, but it's a nice break for my wife and I as she really enjoys aswell.. The rates have gone up aswell because of Covid, no surprise.. Anyhoo, enjoy yir round on the weekend big fella..👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at least one of you must take this game a wee bit too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ramy 1314 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If I go to the off licence here in Ottawa with my wife, only one of us can enter the shop.. That is the law here.. I dont make the rules. As for the golf, they want to show that they are practicing safe distancing so yes, its fuckin daft, she is my wife, we sleep in the same bed, but that is the rule just now...

You and your wife live together, probably drive together in the car to the golf course, then when you get outside you have to stay 6 feet apart.

If you read my previous text, you will see that I apologized. This is correct though. I asked as my wife and I are golfing tuesday, and was told one person per buggy.. It's crazy, as we are married, live together, sleep together, but the the rules are what they are. He is giving me the buggy half price..
