I played with Chuck today.

I got a chance to sneak out to the local short muni for a quick nine. Its really short, a par 66 course that is under 6000. The front consists of 4 par 3's and 5 par 4's. I left all my woods at home, just went out with 3-pw, sw, and putter. Anyway, the place is packed, but the foursome waiting at the tee allowed me to jump ahead of them to join another single. +1 for them. I get up there, and a big dude with a stogie sticks his hand out. "I'm Chuck!". Pleased to met you, Chuck.

We tee off. I bogey one, a frickin' 250 yard par 4. Hole two, I hit a nice fade 4 iron just over the back. Can't convert the up and down. 2 over. "Nice playin'!" Chuck says. We talk. Talk about career, life, wives. I hit number 3, two putt. I hit number four, one putt for birdie. I hit number 5 in one, 230 yards with a three iron. Barely missed the putt. Chuck's gabbing all the way. "What's your handicap?" "Oh, I can tell you were a single!" "What clubs are you swinging?" You did these yourself? That's great!" You really love this stuff, don't you?!" I par 6, and 7, and 8. Duffed my tee shot on nine, a 393 par 4 dogleg left. Really the only hard hole on the course. Hit a nice 4 iron to 20 feet, 2 putt for an even par 34, irons only.

What a day. I played a fun round, and the best part. I got to meet a great guy from my area who loves the game, and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. When we shook hands, he says "It really was a pleasure, and I hope we cross paths and play again"

Me, too, Chuck. Me, too.

Sounds like you've found yourself a nice playing partner there Clugnut. It's always great to find someone you enjoy playing a round with.

I find that to be true more often than not in this game.

years ago before the original owner died.there used to be a guy at our course that seemed to rub everyone the wrong way but for some reason.well he was kinda cocky and had a big mouth but when he was playing with us he was a different.

the owner back then gave us numerous free rounds and carts just to hang around and play with this guy.so he wouldn`t cause any trouble.one day we were finished up and i was heading home to mow the lawn as i am loading up my truck Curt walks out and says stick around i just saw (you know who)pull in take a cart and go out with him.i told him sorry i have to mow the lawn.he says i will throw in lunch also i just cant send him out there alone or there probably be trouble.

other then him most every body i have met on the course have been very nice.

I played with his evil twin "anti-chuck" last year. Guy & his buddy weren't any better than I was & yet this dude wouldn't shut the hell up with his free unwarranted "advice". Was a miserable rd & I think it's what soured me on playing with strangers. Was playing 18 that day but after 9 holes there was no way I could anymore so I ditched them at the turn.

I've played quite a few rounds here lately with a man I met. Rev. "Izzy" Moorehouse. He is a preacher obviously, a great golfer and fun playing partner. Plus, hanging out, playing golf with him has had the added benefit of cleaning up my language on the course considerably,

i have played with a couple of some of my old high school teachers.alot of them a members at our course.

i remember the first time i saw my 9th grade science teacher over there.it was about 20 yrs after i had his class i wasnt sure what to call him.do you still refer to him as Mr. _____ or just by his last name or by his first name?

after about a month i went with just first name. the first 3 or 4 times i think i just said hows it going.then i just figured were both adults so go with the first name.
