    What would be all-right? 3 bottles over a round would be fine, 4 might be pushing it?

    Some people can't seem to understand that "drinking" and getting drunk are two different things.

    Very Irish perspective really.

    The OP doesn't seem to make a distinction.

    Well he describes golf for him as being all about the craic and getting plastered, so maybe we need to better define what we all mean by "drinking" while playing.

    No, you said plastered. I said a few drinks. Please read the thread.

    In Canada golf is all about the craic and getting drunk. For the majority it something to do during hockey offseason. I have to say I was shocked that Ireland of all places wasn't the same. Find it a great place to live, even though this experience left a really sour taste. I won't let it put me off venturing out on some nice summer days in the coming months. It's a great way to spend a day(most of the time)

    As above.

    You can read ? If you have learning difficulties I apologize.

    That's Canada's general outlook. Mine as first post " We(My friend and I) don't take it serious, just like to hire a cart have a few drinks and a bit of craic"

    I'm happy to say that in my experience of Canada, it is far from the "general outlook" but you have obviously played different courses to me.

    If you want to play golf like that, Canada is only a few hours away and you seem to know where to go.

    But don't start it here please.

    In a quite a few places it is.

    I'm obviously not starting it or trying to. I was just surprised that it wasn't the norm to have 4,5,6 drinks during a summer round. Especially here.

    The Irish would be known worldwide for liking a pint.

    Put it like this, if you were playing tennis at a tennis club and you were drinking while playing would you be expected to leave?
    If you were playing soccer at a soccer club and were drinking while playing would you be expected to leave?

    IMHO, yes you would.

    Ehhh - that wasn't the question?!?!

    You will get a puritanical response here , but that is an Irish response to an Irish problem.

    Its not the done thing in Ireland, so what? I don't do it. You probably don't either. No need for the anti-Irish dig. And yes I know you are Irish.

    The GolfForum would be known boards.ie-wide for being intolerant of racial stereotyping.
