Dunce Cap For A Bit
I'm going to create a stir with this one I'm sure. I welcome all comments. So let me tell a story....
So tonight I took My 2 oldest kids out to play. I wasn't playing after playing 27 earlier. All was good until we hit the 7th hole. We waited several minutes for the tee to clear, we'd caught up with "The League".
Kids playing only. We waited over 20 minutes on the tee at 7. Then we waited another 20 minutes or more for the green to clear so they could hit into the green.
After another 20 minute or more wait they finally got to tee off on 8. 8 is a LONG par 4 that plays almost 500. We had to wait until they'd hit their 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th to even tee off. When we finally got to hit, one put his ball in the middle with a mid iron in, the other hit his solid but pushed with another mid iron in. After 15 minutes waiting in the middle of the fairway for him to hit, I yelled out "hey!! Can you please hurry it up a bit! We're going to run out of light!!" Immediately upon hearing that, the old bald guy in the group threw his putter down and made like he was going to charge me. ????
I'd love to say I was above that but I'm not. I tossed my club aside (with glee??), threw my hat off, and yelled "hey I have kids with me!!!" Some big fat guy (not knocking that, I'm pretty much there too) held him back (it was really comical, lol!!!) and that was the end of that.
We waited 15 minutes, with the sun setting, to tee off on 9. Once we could we waited another 15+++ minutes to hit our seconds into this short par 5. Basically 100% out of light. I was crouched behind them just waiting for them to hit so I could hopefully track it for them. We finished out to no other fanfare.
This is where I get mad for the first time. I'm seriously really upset here. My kids finish up and we go to take the clubs to the car. I drove by old bald guy that wanted a piece of me and I wave at him. He flicks me off and I hit the brakes on the cart.
No way, no how will I ever tolorate that-kids with me or not. That's crap and a total bad call on his part. I'd have gladly punched that stupid old grin off his old face right then. That's what I stopped the cart for and I told my boys to get the clubs in the car and be ready to go. They have a little experience in this area since I got tired of some a-hat telling me I should "get that f'in kid out of here" last winter. I asked him nicely once. I asked him nicely twice. The third time I told him I'd see him in the parking lot. He obliged. I'm not sure why he did since it wasn't even a fight. I hit him once, twice, done. He offered no resistance other than his mouth initially. I'm not even sure why it was a fight. I think he thought that I wouldn't do anything?? But I digress.
Anyways, being someone that doesn't take anyone's crap I was done with this old dude. If he had the courage to stick his middle finger up to a man, I have no compassion. Plot twist...
I'm getting ready to kick this guys ass. No doubt, that's what was about to happen. As I step into it, I hear a familiar voice, "stop it!!" What? I back off and so does he. The familiar voice happens to be my DA next door neighbor. I back down and so does the old bald guy I was about to.... well, I'll leave it to your imagination. I'm getting old and I don't really want to go there anymore. Whatever.
So as I'm standing down I hear my (insert not nice words!!) neighbor that I now recognize as such tell me to "calm down"!! What? I've been very calm the entire time. If I had to defend myself it's because some jerk takes it a notch above normal (all I ever said was "please hurry up so we don't run out of light")
Turns out he's the dude that held back the guy that thought about charging me. lol. But that would be a happy ending and I don't deal in those.
So we're having words afterwards and my "neighbor" thinks it would be a wise choice to tell MY KIDS that he'll be happy to give MY KIDS a golf etiquette lesson. I offered my hand to him even and basically told him "let's let this go". Nope. WTF?? He ignores me and again tells MY KIDS that he'll give THEM a golf etiquette lesson? Wtf?? Both of my kids could beat him playing one armed golf. Who TF does he think he is?
I was already going to have a conversation with him after he accused my middle boy of hitting a ball into his yard; he told him "this ain't no driving range, keep your balls out of my yard!!"
It was the little kids beside us. Colin hits his ball where it's supposed to go and that's that. If he did hit one over there, doesn't matter. He'd pick it up and move on. I no longer like this guy. I didn't have a serious issue with him until tonight. He's the creepy pervert that is your next door neighbor. I waited over 2 hours to talk to him tonight. Never came home.
I will talk to him VERY soon. I no longer like him nor do I have any respect for him.
