I think I am about to be chided, shamed or find new kinship. Will you admit to playing or watching golf? For example, The Open?
BTW, I'm terrible, no, hideous, but still carry on a love/hate relationship (with golf, that is).

Here’s a poem I just wrote…
An ode to a noble tradition
Determined to my peace abuse
They turn up in BMWs
Hoards of fat business buffoons
In ugly chequered pantaloons
With bags of sticks n tiny balls
Faking urgent business calls
Arses stuck in silly carts
With all the thrills of wet cold farts
Poncin round in stupid shoes
And ruining my f****ng views
Golf w4nkas!!

Each to their own, as we say! I used to play golf, was never very good. I'm playing golf in a couple of weeks at my son's stag weekend. I think it can be an enjoyable game, gets you out in the country side, a bit of exercise so OK. But it can also be very frustrating!

Non-golf here, but am following most of the big tennis tournaments. Took some time before realizing it's a fascinating sport, getting to 'know' the players, looking at new talents evolve, legends fade away, hoping to see 'that' epic match etc.
Must be exactly the same for those interested in golf, just another ball game.

G'day Fellas.
Ever noticed the higher up the social ladder they get the smaller the balls they play with.

I just swatted a wasp before one of my dogs could catch it.
That's enough sport for one day.
Somehow my dog knows not to chase bees and wasps but goes after flies🐕

E,
I'll watch the big matches in the tennis Grand Slam tournaments as well.
BTW, I assume you know that a Norwegian is in the lead at The Open and is the first ever to lead a golf major starting any round?

I used to live in St Andrews. The Old Course was a great place for walking the dog.

As I understand it, the ceding of the land was "for the general enjoyment of the townspeople, " or to that affect.

That'll throw the cat amongst the pigeons LOL

Ah, cricket. At school, I inevitably found myself in the left-overs 37 or so down on the pitches on a sports afternoon. I made sure I was one of the 18 or 19 fielders first on and just slip down the bank to the river and retrieve my stashed fishing rod and spend a happy afternoon failing to catch any of the fish that lurked quietly there. Great days!

G'day Fellas.
Not wanting to get too far off topic.
Cricket, ha. Back in the day my bike club had cricket matches with other clubs. We played tackle cricket. The batsman would hit the ball, one fielder would chase the ball and the other fielders would try to tackle the batsman before he got to the other end. The batsman had the advantage of being able to swat the fielders off with the bat *ex*

So, I'm on an island here. I get it.

I know that story
I "played" golf as a school sport in my senior years .
The golf course was a comfortable 15 minute walk from home
So it was go home for a long lunch , tee off in the last 4 , play the first 3 holes then under the fence & home after inventing scores for the final 5 holes .
Around to the girlfriends place for a bit more fun.
