Forums

[Doc]

Forums are a great place for people to visit because you are anonymous, so contributors have a safety net of sorts. Many more people visit and browse than actually contribute to a topic or even create a topic, and there's nothing wrong with that. People pick up tips, have a laugh at some of the posts and many actually learn something they weren’t aware of, which is all healthy.

I was thinking recently about the people who post, and would they still contribute to a forum if it wasn’t anonymous or even a Skype type thing where everyone was live and real. I had a chuckle thinking about some of the characters, as you have a picture in your head of what they would look like in the flesh. Some scary images for example:

Navyblueshorts sat in a skimpy pair of y-fronts, Maverick a x-dressing fat bloke in a nurses uniform, LJ a moaning pensioner with pictures of executions on his office wall, Smithers a 7-year old Etonian, S_R a 23 stone foody stuck in a wheelchair, Davie the smashey/nicey type, Hobo with a can of special brew in his hand, LadyPutt a husband abuser, D4S a parish priest, Kwini a 9-year old golf geek, Mac a 7 foot black drug dealer, Jas living in a van on the move every day trying to find as many golf courses to play as he can (He went for a newspaper 3-years ago and his mum wants him home) Pedro the kebab shop owner, OP the school headmaster, diggers from the diplomatic service …… Yes you were right I'm a Brad Pitt type
:606laugh:

[Davie]

Davie the smashey/nicey type

You're not wrong there mate, lots of good work for "charideee" - let's rock! <cue Bachman Turner Overdrive>

Actually I prefer to think of myself more the Tommy Vance/Alan Freeman type (though Smashy and Nicey were undeniable parodies of those legends)

:friend:

[LondonJonnyO]

D4S a parish priest

He told me that collar was something his other half made him wear for luck!

[Maverick]

Maverick a x-dressing fat bloke in a nurses uniform,

:606laugh:

The cross dressing bit I can live with but hold off on the Fat bloke comment :crying:

im athletic at worst so for that comment :yellow card:

AS for the nurse uniform I tend to find unless I suspsenders with it i don't get the attention im after as hold ups tend to chafe he muscular thighs

[Doc]

I wonder if mustputtbetter is actually Rory and noshankingtonight a catholic nun :606laugh:

[MustPuttBetter]

Unfortuantely i don't have the golf swing
Fortunately i don't have the hair

I do, however, have plently of excuses as to why i don't often win. There, the similarity ends!

LadyPutt is definitely a husband abuser though!! ha ha

[Adam D]

By the way, if you know any pro golfers who would be willing to a live web chat, we could do it on this forum.

we are trying to do something similar with other threads but finding it a bit tricky to get people to commit - do any of you know Craig Stadler for example?

[LadyPutt]

LadyPutt is definitely a husband abuser though!! ha ha

Not me - with Valentines day coming up it's all :love: As long as he stays at home and does the housework, the cooking and the cleaning - oh, and the gardening. He's the househusband and I go out to earn the pennies.

[MustPuttBetter]

Ha ha

What i wouldn't give for someone who would let me stay at home whilst she earns the pennies........drifts off into a daydream.........

[Maverick]

Wouldn't that be lovely as could then do lunch and pop to the club for a quick 18

[MustPuttBetter]

Or.....she could pop home at lunch to prepare two lots of sandwiches, one ready for me when i return home from 36 holes

[Maverick]

When i said do lunch i meant at the club with the guys pre/post round, if she wants to pop home while im out to prepare her sandwiches and my tea for when i get home bonus

[MustPuttBetter]

Mav a for that
I'm obviously not at your level yet!

[Maverick]

Chers MPB it takes a lot of practice, and grooming er I mean persuading!!!!

[SmithersJones]

7 year old Etonian? I don't even know what that's supposed to imply, but I'm going to take it as an insult followed by a possible compliment!

SJ

By the way has anyone heard from the Right Revend D4S today :606laugh:

[LondonJonnyO]

Incidentally.. If I'm a pensioner does that mean you young whippersnappers are going to give me your seat on the underground!?

[McLaren]

Well a 7 foot drug dealer, have to say that is not very accurate. I do wonder what i have said to give that impression.

I will admit that in my head LJ dresses like poulter, on and of the course.

I think S_R might be a bit of a rab c nesbit types ranting from his dundee council estate.

[Doc]

It's a scary picture isn't it 606 meet-up somehwere and we'll not be allowed on the course. The car park full of Reliant Robin's, Hearses, D4S and his pony and trap, Mac in a blinged pimpmyride escort, LJ and his lime green Cortina :606laugh: Davie in a stripped out mobile disco van ..... Nobody will ever turn up at a meet for fear of cracking ribs pissing ourselves at Mav's handlebar mustache and stethoscope etc.

[Noshankingtonite]

I wonder if mustputtbetter is actually Rory and noshankingtonight a catholic nun :606laugh:

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on (queue Father Jack aka LJ) shouting DRINK!!!
I don't look like a nun, but I am bald and do lead a rather monastic lifestyle so you were partially right there Doc :606laugh:

[drive4show]

I'll settle for parish priest as long as nobody mentions the young choirboys.

It wasn't me, I was out on the golf course!

[LondonJonnyO]

So if I'm Father Jack and we've established D4S is a priest... does that make him Dougal?

[oldshanker]

Goodbye all!

Actually Doc, for all of his protestations, you have LJ bang to rights. Also the dresses like Poults is not far from the mark, it all depends on whether LJ is on a dress down day.

I hope you will be entering todays round on your eclectic D4S!

Soon be time for an update on that, but there seems to be numerous injuries around.

I wonder if 1grumpygolfer has managed to dig himself out of his front door yet?

Hello everybody!

[drive4show]

Shanker

I didn't play today, I had to take choir practice. Supposed to be playing tomorrow but the forecast is pants :crying:

How many eclectic rounds have I got left?

[oldshanker]

D4S - you have 2 rounds left and to date, you haven't birdied any of the holes that you get a shot on! So concentrate on holes 2-8 and any that you have a shot on.

[drive4show]

Yeah it's not been very good to date, really could do with a couple of rounds with 2 or 3 birdies in each. I'm submitting my cards from the club eclectic, languishing a long way behind in that one too :crying:

[LondonJonnyO]

I don't remember protesting. Even at the lime green cortina.

It's actually a Capri. Complete with vinyl roof.

[McLaren]

Have I missed something. Is d4s really a priest?

[navyblueshorts]

:606laugh: Things involving communication are always different on the Interweb. Skimpy Y-fronts? Inspired guess, but you forgot to get that they're usually patent red leather a la Full Monty.

Complete with velcro for an easy tear off?
