get to it man. i'm just pleased my friend left his head pro position at a public course (due to poor ownership/management) and took a assistant pro position at a really awesome and very private country club.....that i am golfing for free on sunday

best perk of knowing a golf pro is free golf lol

That's where the booze comes in handy

The last round I played a few months ago, there was a Par 5 where I started with a nice, straight drive and then rolled a beautiful 4 iron up to the front edge of the green about 25 ft from the pin under GIR (not a terribly difficult two putt). I guess I was still a bit amped from the great second shot and blasted the uphill putt over 10 ft past the hole. Coming back downhill was another terrible putt 8 ft back below the hole. My putt for par then ended up perched on the lip and did not fall until I gave it the final tap in for a bogey. When I got back to the cart, I slammed the half empty beer that I had waiting, and said, "man, that was a nice 4 iron!" My father just chuckled and told me I needed to work on my putting. I just ignored him

I think you read it wrong. Slammed = chugged = gulped = drank fast I'm a few years out of practice, but I can still shotgun a 12 oz can in ~2-3 sec. In my heyday, I could chug a full pint glass (16 oz) in about twice the time it took the Fox (from The Man Show). Considering he could do it in under a second, I was still incredibly fast

i thought more literal definition of slammed out of anger lol now with the correct context i'm ok with that now haha

RIP fox lol

back on golf talk i think its time to upgrade my driver and hybrid. only 2 clubs i didnt upgrade in the past summer or 2. last year was new irons and putter. the winter just before last spring i upgraded my wedges.

I used to get so frustrated on the golf course as a kid (even though I still loved the game). Once I started drinking on the course, I stopped worrying about crappy shots as soon as I got back to the cart and my beer

see i've always been drinking on the course i didnt start golfing until i was about to be 21. i only got about 4-5 years experience so far and i had to switch from lefty to righty lol

i'm lefty and learned lefty at my aunts in FL when i was like 7 for 2 weeks never touched a club again until i was 20 and was taught righty for ease of learning.

golf and drums are about the only things i can do right handed lol
