So I have mondays off for the time being while work is slow...and I played golf today.
Let me tell you about my golf buddies today. When I walked up too the first Tee, there were a few older gents milling about and chatting. I asked what time they were supposed to tee off, my tee time was 10am, they said they were waiting for the guys in front, and that they were next...the time was 10:00am. I said I thought I was playing along with them and introduced myself..."hi, I'm Zach. I think I'm with you guys today. If thats Ok" They really dont get to decide, but I was trying to be polite and courteous. They kinda gruffed about it but said ok and introduced them selves as Gino ,70ish yrs old, and Jack, 73ish yrs old.
I dont mind playing with strangers its part of the game, if you dont have 3 friends to play with then you get matched up with some random person who has 4.5 hours to kill the time you do. No big! I have never had a really terrible experience with golfing with starngers before and didnt expect anything to out of the ordinary today.
So these guys tee up, hit their shots away and start to drive off towards their ball. I have yet to tee up and or hit...big time etiquette no no. you are supposed to wait till everyone in your group has hit, then head to the nearest ball, (furthest from the hole) and wait till that person hits away and continue this simple procedure till the last ball goes in the hole. Well apparently when your old the rules just stop applying to you.
SWEET!!! cant wait till I am a cranky old douche bag.
I didnt play very well the first two holes of the day, partly cause I am not very good to start, and also because these guys are already pissing me off and I am thinking about spending the next 4.5 hours with them. At one point I hit the ball way off to the right side ( into the woods abit) and was hopeing for some assistance in locating my ball, or at least the courtesy of waiting a few moments while I look, but douche bags drive straight to their next shot and right past me.
ASS HOLES!!!
So I hit a ball directly at them, fortunatly for them I am not that acurate....I missed by a mile, but I ended up on the green and putted in for a par! Fucking A! from that point on I played angry golf. and I did exceptionally well for myself.
At the turn They headed in to drain their colostomy bags, and I headed straight to the next tee box. I think they were surprised to see that i was going to keep playing with them but I was hitting some of the best shots I have ever hit and wasnt about to stop. At this point they start talking to me, and commenting on my shots. Helping me find miss hits and appologizing for hitting ahead of me....what happened, I dont know. There was still plenty for me to be pissed off about.
