Crazy things you’ve heard answering the phone at a golf course

[dgarland]

I used to work at our local course, now both my kids work there. Here are a few of the craziest/dumbest things I’ve heard. 
 

- “Do you have any tee times around 9?”

  “Yes, we have 9:00, would you like that?”

  “No, that’s too early.”

 

- “Is there a discount if you shoot in the 70’s?”

 

- “Is (the head pro) in?”

   Hand the phone to the head pro, they ask for a tee time, then he hands the phone back to you to make the tee time.

Is it raining there? (look at your weather app)

When will your frost delay be over? (when our grounds crew says it is)

What's the earliest tee time you have. 7:00 is open. No that's too early what do you have around 10:00.

In my younger days, I worked at many courses in between caddying gigs or if I needed to stay near home that summer.  Had a guy call in with this question once and the Head Pro happened to answer.  Without missing a beat, he replied "No but we do offer a discount on lessons if you shoot over 100."  Then hung up the phone.  Hilarious.

Never personally worked at a course, but this prompt reminds me of the "So i'm -2 through two, let me call the clubhouse and ask what the course record is." line hahahaha

If you haven't seen the "golf shop Chris" videos on Instagram or TikTok, do yourself a favor and go waste the next hour laughing your butt off.

The weather question has driven me nuts for the last decade.  "Buddy, I've got the same weather app you do......."

Kid asks me what the course record is. I replied 32 beers without missing a beat. His first tee shot went 120ish yards.
