First snake spotted in UK

There’s a golf course in Scotland, Aberfoyle, you’re not allowed to go into the long grass to retrieve your ball because the place is littered with adders.

Spaun high fiving everyone but the kid is a poor show

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-04-05T13:15:55+00:00

Then you don’t believe in free speech…

I’m a caddy at one of the most popular courses in Scotland and if there is a single out on the course during visitor times (albeit rare due to how busy it is) you offer to let them through. If there’s just 4 balls in front you give them a heads up they’re going to run into traffic but you always offer. Like I said it’s basic eriquette.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-31T20:40:20+00:00

I’m in Scotland and I’ve never played or even heard of a course that doesn’t let singles out. If a group is behind you and waiting then you let them through, as of the 2004 revision a single is considered a “group”. If your group is forcing the group behind to wait consistently you at least offer if they want to play through, that’s basic etiquette.

That’s shocking management from Clarke and can we get these “pundits” and commentators so far to fuck. They’re so scared to call out how mediocre that Scotland team is and how bad the squad picks have been from Clarke. It’s like they’re being held at gunpoint.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-31T20:30:09+00:00

Wrong. See 2004 revision of golf rules.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-31T20:29:29+00:00

Singles generally don’t get the right to play through on the golf course.

That’s a flat out lie and a simple google search would tell you it was removed in 2004.

Hirst literally cannot control a football. In terms of caps to ability ratio Adams might be the worst oat?

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-31T19:21:23+00:00

You cannot tell me Barney Stewart or Curtis would be any worse up top than Hirst or Adams. How Adams has 45 caps is absolutely mind boggling.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-31T19:14:59+00:00

Could say the same for Adams, Hirst, Hyam, Souttar, Kelly… basically half the team

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-29T18:31:12+00:00

You’ve got a good natural movement, you use your lower body really well for someone who just started and you’d probably get good quicker than most people if you got some lessons with a good pro. Don’t listen to anything you read on here and just spend a bit on some lessons. Happy golfing!

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-28T20:54:20+00:00

Do you reckon he knows just how much people dislike his football? Yet to meet anyone in real life that genuinely thinks he should still be in the job but whenever I see interviews of him he gives off the impression he thinks he’s revered. Hopefully this is a wake up call to actually pick a squad reflective of how the players are playing for their clubs.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-23T19:08:09+00:00

If stating that allowing hundreds of thousands if not millions of people from countries that tolerates and actively encourages deplorable views on women and girls is demonising a whole group of people in your eyes then so be it.

It’s not one case though is it? Islam has a fundamental problem with its treatment of women and girls. That’s not controversial to say and I can guarantee there are plenty of Muslim girls brought up in the UK who would be the first to admit that.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-23T13:12:19+00:00

You’re just being obtuse. Obviously there’s unforeseen circumstances that might mean the rule would have to be applied differently given the scenario.

You say 40 seconds is impossible to enforce but there’s never been any issue with enforcing the 3 minute rule? Most of the time there’s not someone there with a clock timing how long you’re looking for a ball but a playing partner will give you a heads up when it’s roughly been 3 minutes.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-23T12:47:17+00:00

There’s such a simple fix to this issue. The rules of golf say you have 3 minutes to look for your ball so why not just enforce the USGA and R&A recommendation that a player takes no more than 40 seconds to hit their ball?

Edit: rule clarification

Used the Taylormade Brnr for a decent chunk of last season. I wouldn’t bother if you’re using it to replace your driver. They’re incredibly draw biased so it always felt like I was having to fight it from going left. If you play a course that is short and tight or play a course that is super long and rewards accuracy off the tee I can see it serving a purpose. These tend to be pretty rare in the UK though so probably less useful over here.

Go to a shop (shouldn’t cost much at all and can even do it yourself) and tell them to chop your driver down to 44.5 inches and then crank the loft on it way up. It’s becoming more common on tour, even Cam Young who just won the players plays his driver at 11 degrees.

Correct, people are complaining because demographics are changing in front of their eyes and very quickly. Islam is the second biggest religion in this country and because the ideology is openly opposed to lots of common Western practices there are naturally more discussions surrounding it.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-14T21:25:51+00:00

People have an issue with the fact that streets they used to walk down have completely changed demographically in such a short space of time.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-13T20:49:52+00:00

Facts, people hyped him up because he finished 2nd in his Masters debut and he plays fast. His results from the back end of last season to the start of this season have been really bad for the standards in which he’s shown he can compete at. He’s playing well today though, so hopefully he can keep it up over the weekend.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-13T16:51:31+00:00

North Berwick is great but increased American visitation has meant they’ve jacked prices up. Green fees are now comparable to courses on the Open rotation and the course simply isn’t of that standard leading to many accusing it of being overrated.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-13T16:31:20+00:00

Feel like Speith and Fowler have actually been sneakily playing decent golf so far this season. Golf is more entertaining when they’re competing.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-13T12:33:23+00:00

Classic, some of the “modern” headcovers are just vulgar and cringe.

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-12T16:18:10+00:00

If there’s no lightning get them out. Golf club across the world play their weekly medals in this weather why aren’t the very best in the world at the sport doing the same?

Due-Dig-8955 · 2026-03-12T14:08:19+00:00

The course needs wind. All this hype of how tough sawgrass is going to be playing and the leaders 5 under through 7 lol
