Golf Club "Suggestion Books" - helpful or hellishly funny?


Every Club has one.

Most sit in a corner of the lounge gathering dust..

Some are in a prominent place and updated on a regular basis by committees who have 3 hours of a Tuesday night spare to discuss the merits of putting cheaper toilet roll in the mens cubicles to cut costs!!

Others are so often "vandalised" by dry witted/drunk/bored/ironic/genuinly retarded members that the secretary now keeps under lock and key hence completely nillifying the purpose of its existence.


Well, I must confess..we sat down over a few beers and read our suggestion book and some of the entries over the years could not have been funnier if Ronnie Barker, Peter Sellers and Ricky Gervais had got together and written their thoughts.

Absolutely class!


Dear Secretary,


May we suggest that Juniors be allowed to play in Mens medals at the weekends?

After all, we are the future of this club


How the hell did you get into the lounge!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

31st Dec (written at closinng time) - I suggest the committee resigns en masse

2nd Jan - I withdraw the preceding without reservation and offer my apology to my Committee

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was shocked and bewildered to note the bar shutting at 9.30pm and me being asked to leave.

Can the bar stay open longer?


I note your shock and bewilderment and will speak to the staff.

However, in view that you reported this in the Greens suggestion book I feel that perhaps the bar has been open too long!

And finally, possibly thr funniest suggestion/complaint ever...

Jan 1968 - No Stilton.Females at every table.


If you have any you want to share with us, please let us know and we'll post our favourites.

Whilst some individuals may take cheap laughs from their clubs suggestion books, they do serve a purpose and are essential in helping to maintain club standards.
