Municipal Madness

First topic message reminder :

There are a great number of municipal courses in the UK catering for the chavs in our society. (We even have a resident caravan dweller in Edinburgh who admits to the use of these courses on a regular basis). My question today is this: Are these places really a worthwhile use of the land?

In many cases the course is laid out in the middle of a housing estate, or very close to one, and attract a clientele who are in some cases unable to afford or have the desire to join a private club. Now given the housing shortage and lack of places in inner cities to park your caravan would these areas not be better given over to the unmarried mothers of 12?

I feel that by forcing the private members clubs to re-introduce artisans clubs... or forcing them to have a lower (non-voting perhaps) membership category then more people can become members of these so called higher echelon clubs and free up much needed inner city land for burnt out mondeos.

Obviously a select few of these places could be saved.... but not many. It would also ensure that the illuminati down in Surrey could be exposed and made to integrate with the rest of the populace.

The course is generally in good condition despite the fact that the council has not put in automatic greens watering, something any sensible operator would have done in the 1960's.

DTW

Can I just remind you............... Bellisle is on the westcoast of Scotland, possibly the wettest place on the planet

Surely the wettest place on the planet is going to be somewhere in the ocean.

Oh yeah, forgot about there

It's ok. It often happens when you live inland and not near the coast.

Will Lord and your goodself be putting in an appearance or are you off to foreign climes (volcanic ash, strikes, sharks, terrorists and bankrupt holiday companies permitting)?

Sadly the Lord and I will not be able to attend this year to enjoy a bevvy or two with the 606 gang as we have just returned from a fantastic holiday in SA (safari but no golf) to celebrate (if that's the word for it) my becoming an official pensioner! Please raise a glass or two in our absence.
