Why are some many courses lacking these basic facilities.

If i cough up $60-80 buck in green fees, why should i have to take a piss in the trees come the 6 or 15th hole. Surley with all the infrastructure in building these courses it would not be too hard to put a couple sets of loo’s out there. Not always practicle to go back to the club house.

Even as a guy, when the world is my urinal, i should not have to go out in the scrub.

Worse off is the next poor soul who has to play his shot out of someone elses water hazard.

Too bad for the ladies, they have less options

you’re not serious.

Do you really want to have a discussion about this or are you just a serial thread starter?

I think he is pissed off.

Try standing up to take a piss!!!!! Just Kiddin… We have a dunny at the 7th at my home course but no-one dares to use it cause we all know if you goesin there, its a licence for everyone else to get the driver out & take pot – shots at you!! I say be a man & piss on a tree.

I think we have some competition for KY

Exuse me for being civilised, and in this world of running water and sanatation wanting to use proper facilities. These corses cost countless millions to make/build, the addition of toilets on course is not much to ask

Quickly, you’ve only got 72 posts in 13 days. You’re falling behind the competition.

We have toilets located on most courses I’ve played. I’ve never noticed this to be a problem nor heard anyone else complain about it.

We have toilets at the 6th/15th tees, I don’t know what they are like from the inside though since I enjoy the freedom of pissing in nature.

No official toilets where i play. links style course without any trees so one but be discreet when watering the shrubs.

Our country course has a bag of toilet paper at the end of the 5th and 16th for anyone that needs to duck into the bushes for a drop. You should suggest this option for your local club.

thats all class

No shovel?

A shovel? I was thinkin No. 1’s.

Don’t want to encourage this sort of topic, but…

We have a few strategic outhouses on the course, but never seen anyone use it. Given you spend up to 15 min playing a hole, the call of nature would have to synchronise itself pretty exactly with the location of the convenience to be any use. It’s not like someone is going to walk back or forward a hole to use it.

But I must admit, in a sport with so much emphasis on etiquette, dress codes and the like, I do find it weird to find people stopping to pee on a tree. I’ve never had to resort to this while playing in a group.

Are there any etiquette guidelines or explicit rules people have seen about relieving yourself on-course?

Reverse every natural instinct you have and do just the opposite of what you are inclined to do and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing. – BEN HOGAN, POWER GOLF

Very good point muntz, i can take a leak anywhere on the course, but watch out, there’ll be hell to pay if i’m wearing a hat in the clubhouse.

Many of the more expensive courses have strategically placed toilets.

Brookwater springs to mind as having some really nice pitstops throughout the course ~ ie interior decorated and with drinking water fountains etc.

My local has a simple out house on 11th but no one uses it because of the “bigger than average” family of spiders that occupy it! shudder

you’re not serious.

actually and honestly i wanted to start something along this line
like how many really do the pissing in the bush

but waited long enuff for someone like chessman to take the step 1st LOL

anyway
since it’s out now
i think personally it’s a personal decision
and yes tracks should have strategically placed latrines

mine a 90% public course unluckily doesnt have …:((
and the trees are our best friends in this

I play better if i am busting, keeps me focused. hence on the 17th have a spot near T box and when i have to go lookout. I try and time it with a mates T shot as tree’s are very very close. Our group agree this juvenile and ungentlemanlly behaviour comes under sledging. There are no toilets on the course.

We’ve got plenty of trees to hide behind, but there are M & F toilets at the kiosk at the 5th/15th holes and the clubhouse of course, so no probs for us.

Half way house male and female toilets only on my course, but nature does provide with plenty of tree’s to go behind.
Golf course pissing behind a tree etiquette states, back must be turned away from all other players or possible places where players might be coming from, preferable no splashing sounds so pick a good angle and fire also no conversations while doing the business. Any others you can think of?

You’re right. It’s really important to make sure you have determined the lie for your setup to allow your mechanics to produce the correct loft angle in order to minimise splashing.

Go to the bathroom before you start, then after 9 holes. You should make it through then. My club doesn’t have any relievement facilities on the course, so its all about waste management!

This is unbelievable. Maybe they should sell nappies in the pro shop? If you gotta go, you gotta go, piss on a tree, use your golf cart as cover if you are on a links course, do a crap before you go out to the course as there is no way possible your anal passage can do another one unless you have a problem or you eat bogus food around the course.

Drinking fountains are a far bigger priority.. not just to keep hydrated.. but also as an offensive weapon for anyone playing chessman.. go to the fountain.. set that water running.. wait for the noise of running water to distract the poor fella…
