I'd get a big fishing catapult and launch a dozen back over the hedge onto the green while people are playing (y)

Can't stand golf. Absolute shower of deviants.

Have a little fun at times returning them.....

I’ve had a call this morning from the council, some one has complained about mud on road after hauling some digestate and three spreaders went along a lane this morning at about 10:30am


Said I’d go look and report back and when there bumped into the plaintiff, the manager of the golf course next door. She had a right moan and admitted she’d called the council and also the environment agency🙄.

This is the mud in road in question..............I kid you not!

I went back to see her and said there was nothing to worry about but she was adamant it needed clearing up.

I said I was not going g to and rang the council chap back and sent him the pictures...he burst out laughing as it had been described as “a river of sh!t”.

I told him he needed to have a word with the lady for wasting everyone’s time.

I have followed the advice here from you and a.n.other Member, re dog walkers and sheep, and I now have a high power battery energiser, soon to be mains, triple steel wire electric fences, 3m from the footpath. I was pleased to see one particular individual who Herself has had a run-in with in the past, is now keeping his spaniel on a lead... :sneaky:

Our Tenants said they heard a dog howl last weekend who had they reckon had caught the wire, in spite of numerous signs...
We let someone put winter sheep on our grass 3 miles away a few years ago so he Electric Fenced it, 46 acres beside a public byway and close to a disused railway that's now a "sustainable transport route". He kept the fence 12 feet back from the byway.

2 days later County Rights of Way got in touch saying they'd had complaints the electric fence had injured someone's dog and demanded we put warning signs on the fence. They didn't appreciate the response "Why, can the dog read?"

The only sign needed is, "Keep your bloody dog on a Lead!"

You could knock up an air cannon that would fire them a fair old distance with parts you can buy from B&Q easily enough.

I really wouldn't recommend any method that uses an explosive material to propel a projectile down a barrel. Not unless you want to share a cell with Big Dave from C Block, who likes to pretend you're his girlfriend at the weekends ;)

You need to get Colin Furze to make you some kind of rocket launcher that can really fire those golf balls a hell of a distance... Something like a modified propane pigeon scarer with a much reduced caliber better matched to accommodate a golf ball- a mortar, if you will.
A Bangalore banger would probably fire them , it does with empty tins and tennis balls
