De 18 mest irriterende golf-partnerne
Det er en del spillere som ikke er så hyggelige å spille sammen med på
golfbanen. Mange har lagt seg til vaner som irriterer medspillerne. Her er
fellene du ikke selv bør gå. For de aller fleste er dette dette imidlertid ren
humor. Heldigvis.
Golf Digest har forsket litt i dette. Her er resultatet i form av en artikkel
publisert i Golf Digest, verdens største golfblad.
The 18 Most Annoying Golf Partners
The only thing worse than playing with one of
these guys is BEING one of these guys
1.
Unsolicited Swing Advice Guy
Defining characteristics:
Knows exactly how to fix your swing even though you didn't ask. Employs a vast
array of swing jargon that only confuses you further.
Favorite expression: "Wait, try this!"
2.
The Human Rain Delay
Defining characteristics:
Thinks he is honoring spirit of the game by never picking up. Not in the spirit
of the game: dragging his foursome through a three-and-a-half hour front nine.
Favorite expression: "Put me down for a 10."
3.
Cell Phone Guy
Defining characteristics: Considers golf course an extension of his
office, home, therapist's couch, etc. Has perfected the
balancing-phone-on-theshoulder
wedge shot.
Favorite expression: "You guys hit. I gotta take this."
4. The Cart Girl Schmoozer
Defining characteristics: Convinced he's got a shot with the cart girl.
Would be crushed to learn she offered the same flirty laugh and bag of nuts
to foursome of geeks up ahead.
Favorite expression: "We'll take four beers and one more smile, darlin'."
5. The Parking Lot Pro
Defining characteristics: Color-coordinated outfit, matching logos and
oversized tour bag suggest he's played professionally. Topped drive off the
first tee suggests otherwise.
Favorite expression: "These are the same shoes Tiger wears."
6. The Air Counter
Defining characteristics: Can't remember his score without reliving every
shot in detail.
Favorite expression: "One in the pond, two drop, three back in the pond.
Four I had that funky lie in the bunker and left it in the bunker ... "
7. The Frat Boy
Defining characteristics: Unable to fathom a round of golf without a steady
stream of adult beverages. Idea of restraint is to hold off drinking ... until
the
second hole.
Favorite expression: "A few beers will loosen up that swing!"
8. Cigar Guy
Defining characteristics: The easiest golfer to locate on the course thanks
to waft of smoke trailing behind him. Oblivious to playing partners
struggling for air -- and the ash droppings on his belly.
Favorite expression: "Straight from Havana, baby!"
9. The Sandbagger
Defining characteristics: The 15 handicap who is somehow playing "much
better" than he has in years. Feigns apology when he drops bunker shot
within inches of cup, then kicks sand off his shoes like a tour pro.
Favorite expression: "I guess it's just one of those days..."
10. Oblivious Guy
Defining characteristics: So preoccupied with his own game never looks
for anyone else's ball. When driving a cart, always blows past your ball and
heads directly to his.
Favorite expression: "But enough about me. What do YOU think of my
swing?"
11. Ball Retriever Guy
Defining characteristics: Never passes a water hazard without his trusty
scoop at the ready. Last bought a new sleeve of balls in the late 80s.
Favorite expression: "Whoa! A ProV1!"
12. The Volcano
Defining characteristics: Has unique ability to allow even the most
pleasant days to be soured by any bad swing, bounce, or lie. Relies on Ball
Retriever Guy to occasionally fetch clubs out of lake.
Favorite expression: "[Not printable]"
13. Delusional Guy
Defining characteristics: Forces group to wait on every par 5 because he's
convinced he can get home in two. Usually get there in four.
Favorite expression: "If I really catch it, I can get there."
14. Mulligan Guy
Defining characteristics: Liberally allows himself another whack even
when first shot is findable.
Favorite expression: "Wait, wait, wait. I gotta try another."
15. The Plumb Bobber
Defining characteristics: The only guy in the group not to notice the
foursome behind yelling from the fairway as he lines up his putt for double
from every angle imaginable.
Favorite expression: "Son of a gun, I actually think it goes both ways!"
16. Yardage Book Guy
Defining characteristics: Has to walk off every blade of grass before
hitting. After contemplating whether a shot is 176 yards or 178, ends up
hitting it 150.
Favorite expression: "I can't decide if it's a hard 7 or a soft 6."
17. The Cheat
Defining characteristics: A sympathetic figure when he pushes his tee shot
deep into the woods. Not as sympathetic: When he announces his ball
somehow stayed in bounds -- with a clear shot to the green!
Favorite expression: "Better to be lucky than good!"
18. The Overcelebrater
Defining characteristics: Treats every holed three footer as if just won the
Masters. Has sent multiple playing partners home early thanks to
overzealous chest bumping.
Favorite expression: "Yes SIR!"
