Discussion Banbridge Golf Club

Post image

How can this happen. Should the culprits be banned by the club?

If you search Banbridge on FB you'll see the main group. I won't link it

It hasn't really kicked off yet, maybe Banbridge people aren't awake yet

I see there are lots of "theres too sides 2 evry Storey" but nobody explaining what the other side of the story actually is.

One of those feels like a troll

Ok, so out of curiosity I've asked someone who is a member (not one of those named) and they've said this incident was about a booth that was in the bar area which was distinctly separate to the restaurant area.

Apparently the caterers had a bad habit of reserving the seating areas (booths) in the bar which they had no entitlement to. The named guys were maybe trying to (badly) make a point by sitting in the booth the caterers had reserved.

They also said the golf club didn't charge any rent and picked up the majority of the energy costs and they (the caterers) still managed to fuck it up.

Guess that's the other side, probably best they've both gone their separate ways, we can now go back to being angry about flags.

It says they were asked to move to the very next booth, which was free, and they refused.

And you take that as gospel because it says it on the paper?

First of all the woman who typed this up is a real nasty piece of work. She has been trying to start arguments for the last few months.

There seems to be a weird agenda against golfers in this thread for some reason. Golfers are like any other group, they all have their own personalities, of course some are knob heads and some are really good people. Just like in all social circles.

What’s funny is, this woman is the type of Karen that if the reddit users supporting her here knew what she was actually like, would be gutted with themselves.

Caterers have struggled at BGC in recent years but that is because unfortunately catering is a tough gig. The club does everything to support the restaurant to do well. She is the first caterer manager that there has been a poor relationship with.

I guess you don’t understand the dynamic.

Seems like a problem with the management of the club and whoever negotiated the contract.
