Noting the deprived and often depraved background they came from, I would be surprised if any of the Peaky Blinders gang ever played golf.
However, in my forty plus years of playing golf and being involved in the game, it never once occurred to me that playing anything other than 18 holes per round constituted a round of golf.
The only times I played less was either after work during weekdays and a full round wasn't possible before dark or else when a few of us would book a week off work to play various courses in a chosen area of the UK. Then we might play two or maybe three and a part rounds in a given day.
Arriving at WGT six months ago, it took some adjusting to 9 holes being the norm instead of the accustomed 18. I initially put it down to the whole world suffering from some form an attention span deficiency until I discovered tiers, averages, saturation, sandbagging and other stuff I have absolutely no interest in whatsoever. I am solely here to play golf and everything else will take care of itself.
Now what do I put here? Just saying, my nickle, my twopennorth, here endeth the first chapter? You choose what suits you.
