I was at St Andrews Fairmont the other weekend, having something to eat at the club house and nosey at the pro shop.
Some guys were shouting and making a lot of noise….’have you got a pound (£1)?’ shouts one of the guys. I don’t think £1 is a big deal when it’s £90 for a round of golf. Then the other guy says ‘what chip shop we going to?’. The club house serves more expensive food but in a more civilised atmosphere, I just don’t know why 8 guys wouldn’t want to get something to eat at the course and a few beers – unless they were cheapskates…in which case forget playing golf at St Andrews!
One previous time there I heard a mother and daughter talking about how the husband put golf days on his credit card….and the mother encouraged her daughter to spend on her husbands credit card herself. But she was fortunately of smarter sense.
