Season 8, Tournament 3 : Some Thoughts and Observations

  • Have a little First Aid kit in the golf bag.
  • Leave extra time to get to a tournament (like a whole hour if its a long way away and you have to negotiate big city traffic.)
  • Know the hole you tee off on and how long it takes to get there.
  • Don’t leave the coolers on the counter.
  • It helps to play with people that are better that you are.
  • There is a subtle, sub-conscious erosion of focus when playing with a vastly less experienced player.  But playing with such player encourages qualities more essential in life than skill: courtesy, kindness and humility.
  • You want to make me annoyed?  Start telling me how much you hate the greens.
  • You want to make Rob annoyed? Start telling him that the greens are what they are and everyone plays the same course.
  • Twenty minutes of head-butting and whispered admonishments is generally par for the course each round for us.
  • Don’t wear tiny ankle socks with a high ankle sneaker for an 18-hole amble.
  • When you’ve got a First Aid kit, remember you have it before the blister is bleeding.
  • We’ve got a trend going. 83 last week.  87 today. He got the action, he got the motion. Yeah, the boy can play ……… We ♥ the 80s !!
