Webbed Feet!

Recently I've been playing golf and when it's been wet my left foot has been a bit damp after the round.

Today, after all the rain we've had I played the Priors course at Stapleford Abbotts GC.

The ground was wet with standing water.

Phil in the shop said that only two other people had played today and they gave up after nine holes!  But it was raining and I wouldn't have started the round.

When my playing partner and I teed off at 1pm the rain had stopped, but the wind was blowing!

As we walked down the first fairway I noticed my left foot was getting wetter and wetter.

My left shoe had finally given up the ghost.

So I played the full 18 holes with a soaken wet left foot.

You could hear the water in my shoe as I walked along the sodden fairways.

I'm a very lucky man, as I walked in my wife, Paula was coming into the hallway and I showed her my wet sock.  She said I would have to get some new shoes as I couldn't carry on like that.  When I said "Don't worry, I'll just put a bread bag inside my sock for now," she wounldn't have it.

So we went down to Decathlon at Lakeside and I'm now sat at home with a new pair of Footjoy Aqualites.

So I was wondering if anybody what stories you have about things you've played through?

I've had the sole of my right shoe come right away from the upper during a round.  Played a couple of holes walking like a clown but then did manage to find an elastic band after rummaging around in my golf band so managed to finish the round in reasonable comfort.

Played at Belton Woods 7 years ago with 6 work colleagues as a treat from the boss. 

Morning was fine, but in the afternoon playing the Lakes course the heavens opened. Me and my playing partner survived 3 holes but then waited for the group behind (3 players) to decide whether to play on.

Because the 5 of us weren't with the Boss, who was in front of us, we decided we had to continue as he had paid for us.  The 5 of us managed 1 more hole, with visibility of about 5 yards before we jacked it in !  Some how the Boss managed the final 4 holes and made us look like a bunch of softies !!!

Not softies, Darren, just five normal guys who realised that they were not enjoying the game and doing the sensible thing.
