More rain

So it is carry your clubs unless you are idiot enough to pay those crass trolley wheels.

Ho Ho

I have just noticed my local club has advertised the use of trolleys all the year round.

That looks rather like two fingers to Wedmore's directors.

No Trolleys

Already? Winter has only just started and Wedmore is already banning trolleys unless they have those stupid wheels with great knobs on.

All this started with that Pro who thought all golfers would believe any old rubbish they were told and he was in damnger of losing money unless he kept these wheels operating. It seems he very successfully brain washed the ground staff, the new pro and the directors into thinking these idiotic wheel preserve the course.

Those with a gram of sense can see the ground showly and already being chewed up by their use. A lady I was talking to said they were awful to pull and harder to push.

All in the name of people too stubborn to realise they have made a mistake.

Chatting in the pub.

Overheard this evening was a comment from a fellow at the bar.
"It is only because the members are so pleasant at Wedmore, that I remain there. There's nothing the directors do, or the staff that make one feel they want you or care about what you think...........................How can you run a business or club like that?.......................Bloody madness, I say"

There is not much one can say now to add to that, other than I am begining to wonder if one of the directors is slowly "losing it".

I gather there are now suggestion or complaint forms in the hall there. I think I must pay another visit.

Discontent.

I have heard that grumbles persist about the flag being stuck at half mast. One director, a A.E. said when asked about it. "I don't want to hear another thing said about the flag".

Another director G.A. asked why it was so important. The mind starts to boggle at such answers. Well, I suppose if they have no pride whatever in the club they started, we can all expect to see a decline in other matters. It is a shame because I always enjoy the course and the views. It has a lot going for it.

I have to admit, the flag, hanging as it does, looks decidedly sloppy.

"You can always tell the sort of man you are dealing with by the state of his shoes", we were taught at school. I presume much the same can be said about club flag staffs.

I find it hard to believe that two directors have never heard of Public Relations and Company Image in the 21st century.
