Which historical figure would you like to play a round with?

First topic message reminder :

There are so many to choose from but I think I would like to go 18 holes with Jesus. Granted he would probably get 18 holes in one, but I would like to play with him mainly to see what all the fuss is about. It would be fun in the bar after too changing water to wine and whatnot.

If JC was busy I would probably call up Leonardo da Vinci or Gengis Khan.

How about you?

I'll be genuinely upset if someone I know dies, if someone who happens to be a well known figure, and who seemed a good and decent person dies, then I'll think "that's a shame" and I'll get on with it.

You have to question the lengths some of these other people go to when they are wailing on the streets and buying up every lily in sight.

Err he turned out for Ireland last Saturday actually.

Christ super if you think that Di was a slapper you obviously haven't had a night out in Essex lately!

Perhaps I should get down there Blue.

Good point blue

And if you think Essex is bad- try Newcastle !!

There are many places closer to you that are full of them dude!!

Essex is actually pretty tame to some northern places!!

When Diana died, I was working round the corner from Buckingham Palace and on the Monday lunchtime I took a walk over there. It was a really eerie feeling. The atmosphere was tangible. I also took my wife to see the flowers at Kensington Palace.
We didn't leave any messages or flowers or anything
There I'm "outed"

Don't you mean 'when' and not 'if' Grumps?

Still, technically historical though. Plus it means there's an outside chance of a game happening too.

Cheapskate - least you could have done was buy her a bunch for her birthday.

That is not what I would describe as a mourner.. You haven't really outed yourself at all. Come on tell us the truth- the weeks of tears, the not being able to get out of bed and all that

You should have stolen some.

I guess the biggest factor in grieving for someone is that you will miss them not being around any more. Should that be a loved one, a celebrity or even a pet. I guess the paparazzi grieved for Diana more than most.

I realise that, I was referring to his age.
Quit old to still be playing at international level at 34/35.

You're getting the idea, that's the only chat up line you need in Essex super!

Would think the Daily Mail loved it. SOmething to add to headlines other than House Prices and Immigrants.

I'm the same.

I would have to agree with the second part.

They loved it but obviously hated it at the same time,

They had lost a massive on going news worthy celebrity in her demise..

Its not surprising they milked it.

Almost everyone feels that way. That is what SR cant understand, he sees a few hundred mourners and thinks its the way most people think

They still are Oakey. They've made a fortune out of her death. Must be rubbing their hands.

More than a million of the sad cases lined London's streets on that day. Countless more no doubt were weeping into their commerative china on the day.

a million- what a load of tosh- there are millions in london every day- they would have just popped out of the office

The Cardiff City fans didn't do much mourning for Di. The Saturday after she died there was a minutes silence before all football league games. Cardiff were playing at Colchester that day and when the referee blew his whistle for the minutes silence to start they sang:-
 
"You can poke your Royal Family up your arse, you can poke your Royal Family up your arse..."
 
The ref let it go for about 10 seconds and then had to blow his whistle. It was the only ground in the country where the minutes silence was not respected. I guess the fact that she was the Princess of Wales was lost on those morons...

I don't think they are morons necessarily. THere is no reason for anyone to show respect to her, certainly no reason for football fans to show respect, it's a little distasteful, but it's not remotely like breaking the silence on Rememberance Sunday for instance.

ONe woman dies, big deal, no need for a minutes silence anywhere.

Oi, I can hit the odd good one and I'm talking about the one that's going to disappear never to be seen again.

Its only people like you SR that keep her memory going!

What about a 3 ball with Robert Bruce & William Wallace? It would be interesting to watch one smash driver after driver off the tee, 3 woods in the rough out the trees and over water attempted glory shots while the other carefully plotted his way round with irons off the tee for position.

super- why the synthetic offence against Di mourners? you are not directly affected by these people's actions so your fake outrage is retarded, vacuous, suggestible and, quite frankly, laughable.

OK.... I hate slow play, so I got no interest in showing some historic "newbie" (with the exception noted below) around the course for 18 holes. That leaves it to an "historic golfer". Morris (either), Vardon or Hagen works for me.

Exception: If it's gonna be a newbie and a 6 hour round... what go back in history? I'll take Kate Upton for 18 holes right now. At least she shows some interest in the game, and I'm sure there's gotta be SOMETHING I can teach her... or vice versa.

Zip it Maris Piper nibbler

I want Sr to post something UNGRUMPY FOR ONCE!

JUST ONE THING THATS ALL..  

And I bet the day he does that he will go out and get laid..Its all about the aura

I can imagine him meeting up with a bird and going off like this.. He would last 3 mins..

Women think differently- rightly or wrongly they dont get turned on by conversations about false mourning! Its part of there weaponary!

I doubt they'd be remotely interested in anything anyone has ever posted on these boards.

Oh so you do act slightly differently out and about then SR?

I expect everyone does. If we all talked about golf all day none of us would ever get our legs over.

when do we ever talk about golf?(20% of the time maybe!!)

and many women have no issue with golf at all. Thats all in your head!

Judging by the women I've seen around golf courses I'm happy to not bother with any of them.

We were blessed at my club- we had 3 stunners at junior level when i was also a junior

1 actually became a pro

which historical figure would you like to golf with super?

Anyone that would give him head  

Seems to me that some of you wouldn't be out of place with this lot ..

As for historical characters, might have to be 'religious' figures. Jesus and Mohammed(sp?) - might be interesting to see what they actually might have said. Others might include Julius Caesar, Einstein, Alexander etc. Ernest Shakleton or Scott. Nelson. Some of the prominent U.S. Founding Fathers maybe.

to be honest i was a bit upset when Steve Irwin died.

Great entertainment.
