Was what I was about to say. I drive past at least twice a week on my way to Clevedon and there’s always lots of construction going on. The players cars were on the grass instead of the car park at one point because there wasn’t any space in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The work going on is mainly QEH building new 4G floodlit pitches to west of the site. Funnily enough the planning application for that went through with no complaints, not even about the floodlights that actually almost shadow one of the houses next door!

Bristol Rob Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 18 hours ago, Robbored said: There’s a slight problem with LA golf club. The expansion plan involves them redesigning the 13th hole and City paid the golf club in an agreed fee - roughly 2 years ago but the golf club have been dithering and now the cost has risen within that time. Now it’s a question on who should make up the difference? As far as I know it’s still undecided........... I reckon they are bickering over if they want a windmill, or one of those holes where you putt up a hill, and then it goes down a bit of drainpipe on to another carpeted green. Personally, I'd go with the drainpipe. Windmills are old hat. #Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't drink on Gloucester Road where there is a constant stream of students who think pub golf is just going to the pub with an inflatable golf club and a polo shirt on. If you ask them what rules they're playing, or what the drink/par is for that particular watering hole, nine times out of ten, they have no idea what you're talking about, they are completely unaware of the rules and how the game is played. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct behaviour. 1 pub = 1 hole. 1 drink per hole. Drinks pre determined and the number of 'swigs' taken being the number of strokes made. A tricky pint of Black Velvet as a Par 3 on the 9th is always a game changer. Don't binge drink kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can`t be the case I`m sure. I`m sure the golf club will act honourably. The original objection was on the grounds of safety...people getting hit on the head by wayward balls. Now the club have released Frankie, surely that danger has passed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the head greenkeeper. They have a bit of work to do to move things around and for sure wont choose summer to wreck the two holes they have to alter to accommodate the training ground. I would guess they’ll start in October and be ready for next Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
