All the golf clubs sought and were denied waivers too. it’s really ridiculous. why not at least open them for walkers (max 2 per tee)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaRun Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 They write $880 tickets here (Hamilton - Chedoke Golf Course) for being caught walking on closed golf courses. Friends kid got one, her fiance got one too when they were walking together as they don't live at the same address. I'm still thinking there's more to the story, but I saw the ticket.

The town and city governments are hurting for money. They aren’t getting their extortion money from the courts anymore so they’re looking for any little thing to make a buck. The town of Amherst went around with a group of people (none were over 6ft apart) yesterday or the day before handing out letters stating the residents need to repair the sidewalk that the towns tree roots destroyed 30 years ago(literally the sidewalks have been like this for 30 years) We will be fined if we don’t repair it within a month. Have to take the tree down too. Nothing like not being able to work and government comes in and demands money for something they put in that caused damage. So far everyone we called to fix it is closed and everyone in the house is disabled and on fixed income. Can’t wait for the fines to start coming in.

4merper4mer Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Crap. This means Botts will have to pay attention to hockey again which means more bad forwards on the horizon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 As a child, I recall my neighbour having a tennis trainer that was a tennis ball on a really strong elastic cord, with a substantially weighted base. I wonder why someone never made a similar one for golf. ? *THWACK! * BOING! *"OUCH! Guddammit!" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Yep, it’s the idiots that always ruin it for the non-idiots. I have been playing occasionally, guys I play with and me and almost all of the club doing the right things. Most people walk, if in a cart 1 to a cart. keep at least 10 ft from each other, no touching any else’s ball, carry sanitizer in case ball hits flag or rests on foam in hole, or in case you just need it. Last Sunday we finish and a group of good ole boys standing right close to each other in a big circle, drinking beers , and settling bets in CASH! WTF! That is why courses get closed! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 My buddy and I walk with pull carts. He's a hooker. My shots go a tad to the right. Eventually we meet on the green. I have seen the 'good ole boys' thing and they are knotheads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually we meet on the green. I have seen the 'good ole boys' thing and they are knotheads. The 20th century called, they want their pull carts back (been using a push cart since the turn of the century.) Speaking of the 20th century, a few years ago golf magazine had a tips through the years section. In the early 60's some guy wrote in saying his one iron would go about 240 yards, then fade 8-10 yards to the right, asked the author what he should do. The author said Turn pro!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I knew this was only a matter of time from the beginning. I was surprised it took as long as it did before they shut down the courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great exercise and a great way to be outside. a lot of the retiree crowd where I play though spends more time huddled together and socializing for hours and hours (and then griping to the rangers about the rest of us).
