The Lodge (Lounged)

I know exactly what AllFor Nun is talking about, bet a lot of you don't though.

It's like we're in our own special club.

EH?

the room above the EDT has masonic emblems on the ceiling i think that must be where the name of the new private members club

Well frankly the world is not yet ready to see me roll up my trouser leg....

As an aside, someone told me the other day that Golf originally meant Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden. No idea if there's any truth in it, but wouldn't be entirely surprised.

Load of bo!!ocks, but quite a common myth it would seem.

The medieval Dutch word "kolf" or "kolve" meant "club." It is believed that word passed to the Scots, whose old Scots dialect transformed the word into "golve," "gowl" or "gouf."

By the 16th Century, the word "golf" had emerged.

That may be so Keef but it's still a game played by men with small balls.

Indeed.

As Mark Twain famously observed.. "Golf is a shit game, played by men in silly trousers"

The name for the Lodge actually came from the fact that it was originally a Masonic Lodge (rather than a Club in Notting Hill!)
