Not bizarre. Stating facts. Not slagging you at all. Don't be so paranoid. Good tune by Garbage that one. And stop twisting words. Compared to a decent amateur you were garbage I said. There's nothing decent about hacking it round playing off a handicap of 10. It's pretty indecent and ugly actually. You're using above average as a mark of decent. Most, like 99% of people who play golf are garbage at it. For reasons known.

No I don't play. I have done for more than half a century and I would take that bet any day of the week. But only if you made it worth my while. A month of whatever your wage is. 

Check out the big shot

Singular, only one other moniker/poster concerned. He/she has your back and defends your honour day in, day out. How sweet?.

I've no idea who you're on about? Given I get stick from everyone, it's a bit bizarre to have a pop about someone not giving me stick. 

Im sure if you ask whoever you're talking about really nicely, he'll join in too... ?

Think its safe to say Rocket would beat Parky in a scratch game. Parky not really knowing Rocket's background here. 

Haha probably. What's the background? Ex-pro?

It's terminology. Definitions need to be made on what is good or decent.

I agree. I did just say I was decent compared to an average club player and garbage compared to professional. From the comments above by others, I'm guessing your vastly above an average club player, so I may very well be garbage in relation to you ?

Being such a learned man, I am very surprised you have not identified who the poster I am referring to is. I think Mrs. Parklife may have some competition.

I already said I don't play. Don't see the point. My main point was that you should not make silly bets against people you know nothing of, on a game you don't invest much time in. I did play, over six decades and even with a 2 handicap I wouldn't describe it as being good at golf when the best at every club I've been at were far superior than me, and they were far inferior to the best amateurs, only a very small fractional minority of which had even the slimmest chance of being decent enough at the game to get even close to touching their ambitions. Too many dreamers in golf. Lots of wankers too. As I said, metaphorical correlations with life. 

Haha fair play, Rocket. I'll cede to your superior skills and knowledge on this one.

You're reaching manboobs level of nonsense. Interact like an adult FFS

[Fridge]

I am utterly shite at golf and I mean we’re talking no handicap level.

However I always seem to do win when playing my mates (match play) I just knock a hybrid down the middle 150 yards and then again, take my bogey while they are melting their new driver 350 yards into the trees.

But a revealing exaggeration?

You've gone from the batterer to the batteree. When I first noticed you on this forum, you would slag gratuitously. Perhaps you have noticed that this type of strategy gets met in kind and having taken a few online kickings in the years since, you feel like everyone's against you?

I don't mind getting slagged, I wasn't complaining. I was merely pointing out the ridiculous nature of Shep having a pop at me about someone sticking up for me, when most folk do the polar opposite. 

Agree on focussing on the words. That's what I try to do, although I do at times stray to insults. We all have our flaws ?

I'd probably be class at golf. Always fancied it. Cutting about getting pished and stoned.

I remember using a crate handle as a putter out the back of the house when I was a kid.

Crate handle? You lucky bastard. I used to use my mum's spine as a putter after we'd boiled it for soup.
