I figured that I had enough hobbies to enjoy the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat without adding this one. Click to expand... Sheesh! People get so cranky when they get pelted with golf balls. I had a similar experience playing golf very poorly at a challenging course in Arizona. I lost approximately 6000 balls that day to the Arizona desert but there was one particular drive that went hurtling towards the houses lining the fairway. A pretty large fellow ran out hollering about how I put a hole in his house and said he'd meet me at the clubhouse. Boy was he mad. He thankfully never showed up but did you really expect something different when you bought a house 150 yards down the fairway? Bad golf isn't all bad though: I did once get a hole in one -- on the wrong hole! I teed off on hole 5 and had a terrible drive that went straight up in the air toward the neighboring green of hole 6. There were some younger kids putting on that green, so I yelled fore and cringed in embarrassment. The kids started freaking out and asking if it was my ball. I admitted that it was mine, cringing and thinking they were going to be mad. To my surprise, they were totally stoked -- they said it took a bounce and rolled right into their hole. |
