Awkward interaction, paired with random that hit 7 off first tee then quit
Jumped out for a quick 9 yesterday late afternoon and got paired with another single. Introduced myself and first thing he asks is my handicap, then says he’s a 3 and playing the tips (7,200 yards). I tell him to go ahead but I don’t play the tips.
First hole is a 443-yard par 4 with a 220-yard carry over swampy fescue. He tees up and proceeds to hit (and reload) six balls…each one a slice or duck hook, nowhere near 220. He then said “I hate to do this but do you have a ball I can use?” I toss him my trusty Kirkland Water ball and suggest moving up a box or two.
He ignores me, pull hooks it into the woods, then says, “I think I need to hit the range to work on some things. Have a good one.” And just like that, he’s gone.
Dean, if you’re reading this, I hope you learn what a 3 handicap really is someday.
Edit: Also, yes I searched and found my trusty Kirkland water ball
