clubbag:
Since i am new to this site i am not as familiar as very one else on what and when i need to do things so i am going assume when you are saying country you are talking about a country club, if not i stand corrected.
Hullo Clubbag,It's just that there is no Country Flag,as in your Country of origin,showing up on your posts next to your profile picture.I am of the suspicion that this be merely a glitcheroonie of which you had no part and is thus nothing at all to worry about.
In fact,consider this as an ice breaker during awkward moments when at the tee for the very first time with someone new.You could open with:"Hi,you have a great outfit,Oh! and a Flag representing your country I see.I have never had one of those but I still do actually come from somewhere,wouldn't it be great if you had a guess at where I am from?"
Assuming you can type fairly quickly,you should even get your tee shot in before running out of time,or in some cases,before your opponent quits,in which case,don't forget to remember their name so you no longer have to waste time on them in the future.
Above all of that however,what you are about to embark upon will bring you into daily contact(seriously) with some very upstandingly wonderful people.These people will replace your current set of friendly people,since no longer will you have time to spend doing anything other than a quick dash to the kettle for another coffee in between shots,which is how come I recommend playing a 90 second shot timer.Over the months I have also found that comfort breaks can be accomodated within this time frame,always supposing you are playing a foursome.These are just my observations,feel free towith them,as you will.
Oh and another thing,there are some people on here who seem to think that they need 1500 words to say what could have been said in two.
So Welcome...
