Finish this sentence...."You know you're in for a long day when..."

Back in 2000.....my boy and I are waiting for our ‘2some partners’ at our local gritty muni.

A 5’6” African American fella strolls down to #1 Nike’d out in a red polo black slacks black hat...... with what appears to be a homeless caddy carrying his name staff bag.

 

Were speechless...... shank left off first tee.

 

Dude looked like an overweight midget version Tiger impersonator. We assumed maybe he was a dealer and his caddy a customer, Tbey played through. Never seen anything like that in 30 years of golf.

 

I've played WITH that guy!

When one of the people you get paired with use the club to align their shoulders and feet on the first tee box.

 

When you go to introduce yourself to the people you've been paired up with and when you put your hand out for a handshake they just look at you and say "yeah we're shy and really don't like talking to people"

Why assume he was a dealer? Cause he was black?

When, after 3 holes of waiting on every single shot behind a slow foursome with nobody ahead of them, they ask if you want to play through, and before you can get "yes" out of your mouth, one of the random guys you are paired with blurts out "nah thanks, we'll stay behind, we're not in a hurry, take your time."

One of the guys in our group sometimes drives me nuts..

 

If he's having a good day, he tends to talk nonstop. If he has a bad game, he becomes silent.

 

He'll start to talk when it's his turn to tee up, that way he has everyone's attention..

He will start talking, when it's his turn to putt..

He drives the golf cart in half speed, so that he can talk..

Brings to memory of an older guy and young guy my wife and I always used to see on a public course we were members of and it was a little crowded so we asked if they wanted to join us. We knew they drank beer, but didn't realize how much. We were more amazed at watching them drink 1 can/hole (each) more than we were watching their golf shots (actually, the older guy was pretty good and had me wondering how many beers would he need to drink before I bested him on a hole). After the front 9, they went to fill up again, and sure enough guzzled 1 can/hole on the back as well. I thought, dam, in the sun I'm toasted if I had 3 beers and I said something to my wife like, I think I should suggest they not drive if they intend to drive home?.... but they decided to play another 9. Amazing, my wife started referring to the older guy as 'happy Jack' and they did this all the time.

 

Just for fun and not meant to degrade anyone. Just finish the sentence above.

 

Here's mine:

 

"you are joined up with a threesome who, at 7:05 in the morning, are already chugging beers and are worried that the 24 pack they bought won't be enough."

GHIN Index 12.9
LH Epic Flash Driver-LH, 10.5*, Project X EvenFlow Riptide 50 (Light)
LH Callaway Rogue 5-wood (18*), 7-wood (20*); Aldila Synergy 60-Reg
LH Callaway Rogue ST Pro 4-AW, Recoil Dart 75 F3
LH Cleveland RTX 50*, 54*, 58*
LH Odyssey Double Wide Stroke Lab Putter

When a 4 some pulls up in the parking lot on a Sunday afternoon at 2:00.

It's crowded and they get 2 carts.

They get back to their mini van and proceed to open up 1 set of Wilson clubs from Wal-Mart.

We start on the back nine to avoid them.

I watch one guy shoot a 21 on a par 4.

We walk the back 9 as a 2some.

When I'm getting in my truck, they are still on #4 green.

They wouldn't let anyone play thru, so everyone went around.

Your wife texts you on the first hole

 

Sometimes you don’t even make it to the tee. Was changing shoes the other day (one shoe on) when she called. They were cleaning out her grandmother’s house and her dad (81 years old) was trying to lift soemthing heavy. She called for my help to try and stop him. So I went flying across town, moved the item, and went flying back. So instead of a nice leisurely warmup it was run to the tee cold. Not a good way to start.

What's a warmup? Haha

I have to admit I’ve become spoiled by our home course, the first tee is maybe 30 yards from the range.

 

At our hold course (didn’t even have a range at first) we’d just jump to the tee right from the parking lot. That jut doesn’t work very well anymore, that first swing is painful!(and usually pretty ugly too).
