People To Avoid
After you’ve played a substantial amount of golf, been through several courses and have become comfortable with your own skills and ability, you realize that not everyone should be allowed to be your golf partner – that’s right, allowed. If you want to avoid a terrible round of 18 holes, then you’d better try your hardest to not have one of these people as your partner.
The Boss: You really just can’t win in this situation – you can’t lose either. If you play too well he won’t like it. If you lose too badly, he won’t like it that you threw the game – or worse, he’ll think that you’re just not that good at golf, and possible attach those same thoughts to other areas, like your job.
The Rookie: You thought it’d be nice to take along the beginner. Show him the ropes and how great the game can truly be. Until you spend too much time at a single hole because the rookie keeps slicing air, or keeps hitting his ball into the pond, or takes forever to get out of the sand trap. Not to mention the evil stares you’ll get from the backup of golfers behind the two of you.
There are other types that you want to avoid having as your golf partner, but we’ll save that for another day.
