Dave is…
The next Tiger Woods.
Other than an abbreviated 12 holes at Disneyworld over Christmas I haven’t played golf in 5-6 years. I played a decent amount when I was younger but sometime in high school around the same time I gave up all other physical pursuits due to laziness I decided that there were easier ways to spend hot summer Sunday afternoons than lugging a bag around and whacking small balls.
But I dusted off the clubs today and hit scenic Lincoln Greens for 18 with Sharp, Tommy and Ashley. And I crushed them like Vicoden at a hippie’s Friday night pre-game.
With a beautiful stroke off the tee, a decent short game and putting that came on strong on the back nine I pared four and I squeaked out a one stroke victory over Sharp notching a 95. None too shabby considering the man is lobbyist and plays all the golf that implies.
I definitely benefited from the fact that Tommy and Sharp weren’t playing particularly well and Ashley was having a rough day but still, my stoke felt sweet and damn did I look good (Nothing like the cashmere golf hat). If I could’ve found argyle socks I probably would’ve pared the course. My biggest problem was club selection cause the last time I played I hit every iron about 30 yards less than I do now. Actually that wasn’t my only problem, Sharp and I had a ‘shoe before we played so I definitely spent some time trying to put out fast to make it to the port-o-john.
It’s a shame though. I play Frisbee golf all the time and I suck, I play real golf once every 5 years and I am awesome. Frustrating, though not as half as frustrating as it was for the rest of them to be worked by Rip van Golfer.
