Not sure if it affects my game or not, sure as hell appeared to do that today though. Usually if I am playing with better players I will somehow rise a bit to the occasion & usually play better.
Today I played as a single & had a couple in front of me. I parred the 1st hole & then it got ugly real fast, lost 4 balls due to the massive amount of leaves...you could literally be standing right over your ball & still couldn't see it.
Anyways this couple in front of me was a husband & wife & for some frickin reason which I don't understand because I never asked them, they were playing from the tips, even the women was. Each & everytime they would tee off their balls would go about 50 yds & to the right. The woman was a lot better with her irons than her old man was, he was a major league hacker with the ugliest swing I have ever seen. I actually counted his strokes on 1 par 4 & he had 9 just to reach the green.
Don't know why but they wouldn't allow me to play through, I was walking & they had a cart. I would hurry up & finish a hole, they would see me coming & would tee off real fast, get in their cart & drive the 50 yds to their balls.:real angry:
I was hitting driver fine & dropping it in the middle of the fairway, but I could not hit an iron shot to save my life. I was getting pissed off with them playing from the tips, was irritated by not playing through, upset with their horrible play & absolute lack of golf etiquette. These horrible horrible people got into my head & I let if affect my game. I stopped keeping score after the 1st hole but if I had to guess I would say I probably had a 65+ for 9 holes....I didn't even finish 3 holes because I was so pissed off. I would hit my ball up on the green & then just picked it up & walked off without even attempting a putt. I even tried to skip a hole but the would just speed up their frickin cart to warp speed & unfortuantely this course is basically a big circle so I couldn't just jump over to the next hole.
They were both newbie golfers, on the 2nd hole their is a flag in the middle of the fairway at the bend of the dogleft left & it's about 150 yds to the green. This guy saw the flag when he was about 50 yds away from it thought it was the green. He chipped up the flag & grabbed his putter....it was hilarious watching him while he looked for the actual green. Plus as they were getting back in their car he was actually putting his brand new golf shoes back in the box they came in.
Overall a horrible rotten 90 minutes on the course, shoulda stayed at work. Please overlook any speeling screwups as I have been drinking since I got home.
