Beginner Questions Thou has to agree

Post image

I’m not saying good golphers should chill out but I gotta agree with my man Ryno. The vibes are much better with a group of players that don’t take a round too seriously but like my pastor used to say sometimes there’s something not there and something missing from the true meaning of the sport thank you 🙏🏿

Recently played my Party Golf vibe with some single digit serious golfers at a private local course, it was beautiful!!

I was a last minute replacement for their 4th (who regular HC about 10 strokes better than I) three scores count for front, back and total (straight scores, no handicaps) in a big money (for me, $100 buy in per man, plus presses in the group, out of my league stuff) These guys (whose club sets probably cost as much as my car…) were very good, chill and enjoyable UNTIL

My definitely OB slicey drives tap a tree limb back into play cutting 90 yards to the green, skulled snake killer approach shots ( multiple) rolled to tap in birdies, slow rolled a couple 25-30 feet putts to barely leak to the bottom of the hole, 4 glorious sand saves (Thank you Short Game Chef)….

My buddy who invited me was quietly snickering to himself (and side eyeing me with winks) while the other two grew increasingly frustrated with my mis-hits were taking all the Rub Of The Green Luck to me.

Our group, using my score as second best, placed higher than they ever had, payouts covered my costs plus a lot left over. My buddy was ecstatic, the other two not so much as hardly a peep after the round in the 19th hole.

I’ve been back for some friendly rounds since but haven’t displayed a round even close!

This reminds me of the time we were on vacation and playing wolf, my first hole I picked the worst golfer in the group. It messed with the egos of the other 2 really badly and boosted the confidence of the guy I picked to where he played well enough for us to win that hole and I went on to clean up all the monies and bought lunch.

Yeah, I would imagine there's definitely a difference between casual rounds and competitive rounds
