I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving weekend and ate alot of food. I was lucky enough to spend it with my beautiful GF and her family and they are all great cooks so you know I ate my fair share!! Even went to the range a couple of times this weekend, but didnt hit one ball straight at, but chipped it really well which made the practice sessions worth it.
On the Tuesday before the Holiday I got a call from a guy I played a round of golf with at Costa Mesa CC. He said they were having a little scramble and he needed a high handicapped player to join his 4 some. He said he knows I can play better then my *cough* 23 handicap and wanted to win some money. Since he was paying, it was a free roll for me and of course I agreed to play. I had a good front 9 for me and shot a 45 which had us a little ahead in the $$ column. When we started the back 9, something happened and I forgot I was golfing and shot a whopping 59 which lead my partner to end up paying out 23.50 for me....WHOOPS!! I apologized and expected to get punched in the face, but instead my partner was happy and said "next week your playing again and this time play for reals".....HUH??? I said " yea i was just messing with them"!! So long story short, next time I have to atleast hit my handicap or ill never be invited back!!
One last thing, I saw that Wilson golfs twitter (@wilsongolf) posted something about
a gentleman who has a site called http://www.novice2scratch.com/ which follows his journey from new golfer to become a scratch golfer in 1 year. Mind you I started this blog 2 months ago and just started following this guy last week, so for those that say I copied his idea im obv not that smart (read on to see why). Its pretty cool to see that I have great ideas, but im just to lazy or slow or both to get them out there. He got sponsored by Wilson Golf and a few other brands to help him along on his journey...WTF?? I think its awesome what hes done, but it got me thinking, Im a marketing guy why didnt I think of this (maybe thats why im unemployed)?? Either way you guys should definitely check out his site for a good read.
So the moral of this post is.....
Gambling on the golf course is only fun when your A. really good or B. its somebody elses money!! So either go practice or become friends w/ the best golfers at your club who like to drink whiskey!!! I myself will be at the range and putting greens for a few hours before heading to the clubhouse bar to drink with my friends!!
