It's odd how so few of these places have a downhill escape route. You stop at the top?
You could have cast yer expert eyes over it before declaring that it all needed relaying. And you knew someone who could do it, at a "reasonable price".
Shut it for a day, they'll have been overjoyed at you doing that. Did you roll it all or just parts, leaving the roller visible.
Big Orange bloke just buys the course, setting his own figures. Don't like it, go somewhere else. The biggest moaners just don't want to admit it's them that's the problem.
Never having played, or tried to play, I'll take yer word on it. Grass is important though, I do know that much.
Don't have to buy toys now, nor sell them. Woolies were handy right enough, look at how many other places started selling toys when they went. Then the Irish came over with Smyths shortly after Woolies went.

Makes it easy to get them something though, being into something like that.

I avoid them now...
A green(s) are so expensive to maintain..
Some clubs have those who consider it a labour of love...

Golf courses always seem to have a hierarchy..
Many who start on the council courses with a club always want to move to a private club...
Some of the council courses I've played on were in far better condition, but it's being part of the social scene.
Mind you, annual fees reflect that..
I did have a freebie anytime I played the council course. The course I joined was at my back door, 5 five-minute walk, and my kids were juniors plus handy for a pint:whistle:.
The other was an hour's cycle away- hills included:laugh:

I visited Woolies most Sat to look at the new Airfix stuff..
I grew up with yon glue that stoned you....
Pick'n'mix, less said the better..
They just never moved with the times....

Mrs M is in charge of kids' toys..
Our g/kids play with some of their granny's toys..
and Mrs M kept almost everything from our three, Toodles has her Mum's Baby Annabelle and lots of other stuff...
My kids have stopped saying, ' Still got that?' :laugh:

Can't say I blame you. Especially after yer near miss at one.
Maybe the one you pedalled away from, at speed, were hoping you'd do it as a labour of love, thereby not having to pay you.
Never been a member, but I have been to one of the local ones for meetings with the Chair of the club. Lost count of the number of members who ignored me going in or out. I didn't look as though I were there to take to the greens. Both local ones are private ones, no council ones round here.

Used to visit Woolworths, when it were in it's original location for much the same reasons as yerself. But we'd two decent model shops in the town centre as well. One doing balsa kits.
The pic n'mix was an attempt to move with the times that backfired on them. Thefts and people spoiling the whole lot by pouring the contents of bottle in them.
You never buy them any toys!!
How'd you manage when they see something they want in a shop.
A relative of mine has done similar. Toys and games from when their kids were little.
Embarrass them in front of their friends.
