AlistairB Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Get in!!!!!! i've been wanting to get permission on my local golf course (where i find loads of balls - see other thread) for ages. Went for a pint tonight and a member of said golf course said "the bloke there in the green top is the head green keeper" So i went and said hello, explained how i've played his courses a couple of times, said "you've got a rabbit issue on 14nd 15 on xxxx course (they have 2 courses) would you like some help? His response, "Yes, shotguns or rifles? And there is an issue on the other course on 6, 7, and 8 " Me " Either, on my own, shotguns, with my mate over there, rifles" He said " Will you walk or drive?" I said "Either, we can walk if it's easier for you, but i've got a disco shooting truck, you tell us what you want us to do" He said "If you can get it onto the course (the gates are narrow), and stay in the light rough, you're welcome to drive, it's clear after about 8pm, just call me" (as someone else also has permission) So pigeons and rabbits a go go - i'm so pleased, and he said after a couple of visits doing a good job, he'll sign my FAC application as a perm! What a great pint! Happy as larry! AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbuster Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Top man. A proper pub is the best way to get permissions, 90% of mine have come from having a chat with the local farmers over a pint. Hard work i know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
