Oppurtunities for new courses abound:

Asia is the future of our sport.

Former GCAer (still registered but doesn't post nowadays) James Edwards is about to get to work on this course inside the grounds of a fort in Hyderabad, which sounds pretty exciting: http://www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/Article/Edwards-to-build-Hyderabad-course/1893/Default.aspx

Some may remember the following article from a previous post but it just goes to show that nothing is new in golf (apart from the modern aids many golfers feel lost without, yet the game is poorer for their introduction)



So this is Golf in India when Golfers had no choice but to Walk in the hot humid conditions.

Did Mrs B take a cart?

Carts should only be used for those with medical problems.

Seems to include lazy sods who have no respect for themselves or the game so sit on a cart as they do not know any better, then you have the boy racers who just want to piss all others on the course off.

But we should forgive them for their ignorance of Golf which is a Walking and Thinking game. Neither of these seem available to these riding guys who can't think so ride a cart. But you have got to love them because they are splitting the game in two - real golf or cartballing.

Of course not, that would interfere with pacing off the yardage from the nearest sprinkler head.

[Melvyn Morrow]

Remember the time frame guys perhaps more appropriately would be pacing from an elephant’s trunk, Sprinklers, just too early, come on show you understand history and timelines.

I only hope that the golf in India turns out better than the customer service centers.

Melvin:

Everyone knows that elephants were predecessors to carts.  It would be ludicrous to imply that yardage would be measured from the elephant, as they were generally confined to the elephant/cart paths.  It did make for a long day of climbing in and out of the howdah.
