The under-par golf thread

[Murphman]

Err....Sports England from the looks of it.

 

 

The first bit is b******s, as has been pointed out and explained several times in the thread already. But yeah, the poor, persecuted, golf-playing classes....won't somebody think of them? "First they came for the golfers, and I did not speak out, because I was not a golfer...."

 

The second bit sounds like a great idea!

 

Sports England did an ethnicity  survey on every public course, righto.....

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

could've just had done with it and called it the tory thread. f*** golf. and f*** working class people getting older and playing it and thinking it's all sound. golf is none more tory. and go watch 'you've been trumped' the movie you pseudo-tory get.

 

 

f*** off flog

[Murphman]

Bet y'all can't guess which county has the highest percentage of green belt land used for golf? Yes, as I thought, it's the Tory heartland of Merseyside.

[New York Red]

If the americans ever get hold of it there'll be bigger holes and 7 timeouts in each of the front and back nines

They've been playing it here for years. There was a version of it played here in the early 1900's too.

Bit rich bemoaning the personal attacks Leo given what you said about me in the last line of your previous post.

 

You being able to provide for your family doesn't offend me at all, it is great. Your constant flaunting of your wealth/how generally great you are ('I'll tell you what car I definitely WON'T be taking to Wembley and that's my brand new Porsche!") doesn't even offend me either...I just find it a bit laughable.

 

Am sure you are a sound lad. All I'm doing is responding to stuff you say on here, which comes across as overly serious and more than a bit smug - whereas you find my stuff needlessly belligerent. Sound. We're probably both nicer than the other sees us.

 

I've not generalised everyone who plays the game and I've no wish to remove golf courses out of spite - the idea doesn't even make any sense to me. I came into this to point out that I'd arther see a golf club not have its lease renewed and that land be used to build much needed housing than I would see more public green spaces lost.

Honestly mate I think you're alright - just being defensive of my golf and I think you'd find that people mention my Porsche etc a lot more than I do. I sold it 3 years ago now! To put it down as a deposit when we bought our office building. It's just a bit of a running joke. Edited March 6, 2016 by Leo No.8

Same for virtually any sport though. Why football is so universal. and if we are talking stuffy sport for the well off then tennis can f*** off for a start.

 the statistics paint a very different picture for minorities involved in mass participation sports like football and rugby.

there was an american entry in a hotel guestbook in Edinburgh:

 

"we are so pleased that golf is catching on here"

 

also

 

"what a good idea to build the castle so close to the station"

You're a good sport, Leo.

Haha

[Murphman]

I've no idea what this means.

 

Or at least I've an idea but don't think anyone could seriously think that.

 

If you own your club you can get a bit more then. What is your share?

 

We have 600 members. The course is in prime green belt 20 miles outside London, if planning were passed and it were sold for development on the open market I reckon all members would become millionaires over night.

Oh bugger off. Don't let me catch you at Chelsea Piers.

I've got hundreds of them John. The ones the caddies tell are even more imaginative.

[Stevie H]

tories. the lot of you.

[New York Red]

Yeah, well Communists play Volleyball.

[John am Rhein]

Kim Il Sung was good at golf

[Stevie H]

communists and volleyball are both nice. golf is none more tory.

[John am Rhein]

Snooker's the most right-wing game, anyhow

[New York Red]

Kim Il Sung was good at golf

 

 

Kim jong-Il actually. The greatest player in the history of mankind. A 38 I believe it was.

[John am Rhein]

Runs in the family...

 

Ho Chi Minh, on the other hand, excelled as a Nascar driver

[New York Red]

I was wrong. It was 38 under...

[D.Boon]

Tennis and formula one are way more tory than golf i reckon.

[D.Boon]

 Formula One isn't really a participation sport, granted.

[Leo No.8]

You're a good sport, Leo.

 

Pint/round?

Haha - definitely mate!

You have an open invitation for a day of golf with me the next time you are in town. You don't even have to play. If you like, you can just drive me on my golf cart, get me beer, and fan me.
