So me and my buddy ( i would say best friend but for some reason saying that sounds kind of gay to me lol, but my best friend) i originally moved out here from michigan with like 4 years ago decide to go golfing. Quick sidenote, we like to get as rediculously drunk as possible out on the course, shotgunning beers after everyhole, ripping shots from the cart skank, just generally having a good time and what i feel golf should be, having FUN. Somehow we randomly get paired up with a couple of Clays/lvpokerealers friends who ive met before and think sweet this is going to be awesome, NOT. Everyone out on the course is getting fucking shitfaced keep in mind, i saw some dudes shotgunning beers outside in the parking lot when i first pulled up then hop in their car and drive away lol, knew it was going to be an awesome day/ freeforall. They get all bent out of shape after like 5 holes in and are being super gay, not drinking, anti social , and pretty much think that their on the final 9 of the masters. They both sucked but were so dead serious like they were shooting for a green jacket it was pretty comical. Anywho, they dont wanna drink and they hate fun but thats their thing no big deal, i mean whatever it sucks they can do what they want but whatever im not gonna let it fuck my time up. Fast forward to like the 9th hole where their like you guys suck, you're taking too long blah blah( i should mention neither of us had golfed in 4 years) and are just like we're out of here we're going to play ahead?????? I mean really how fucking gay is that? I could see if they were good but they were fucking awful, if it hadnt been my first time playing in 4 years and we werent trying to fuck the sweaty cart whore.

Then i get this gem text from clay the next day " they said your etiquette was horrible" LOLOLOLOOLOLOL. Didnt realize i was at a 19th century french royal dinner and that my etiquette was just so foul lol.

Not really sure where im even going with this but just thought it was awesome, the text was just so LOLOL its hilarious on soooo many levels.

maybe other peoples idea of fun is'nt yours, like getting shit-faced drunk. you sound like a douchebag.

haha, i played a tourney today for eleven and ahalf fucking hours and did not cash. thats bad form.

Brandon shoots like a 80-82 btw

Heresay

Nechita is quickly becoming Jaybone but not nearly as polite.

sounds like OP is a selfish, immature, douche nozzle
There is no one else in your world, only you. It is all about you
Learn some repect for others in the world
I bet you are one of those who park in the middle of a store parking lot, in front of the door blocking the way for every one while you go in and get your stuff
As a golfer, I hope it is another 40 years before you play again

I don't even play or watch or care about golf at all (the only reason I point this out is just to make sure you understand that my reason for disagreeing with you here is not that I am some kind of super serious golf-extremist freak who cares all anally about all the stupid etiquette shit and dress codes and shit like that (I don't (AT ALL))), yet, despite that, even I think it sounds like you guys were the ones who were being the dicks in this story.

Like, I get that from your perspectives, basically any sober person is automatically going to "seem" like they are being uptight/caring waaaaayyyyy too much about the game/taking everything way too seriously/being way too overcompetitive/being lame/etc, that's just how all sober people tend to seem when you get severely trashed enough, but, try to think about it, just for one second, from their perspective.

What if, maybe, just maybe, they weren't totally uptight weirdos who were trying to take everything super seriously/take out the rulebook on every little play or anything like that, but rather, were just regular sober dudes who actually enjoyed the game of golf, itself, like, the actual game, not for any assholish overcompetitive reasons or anything lame, but rather, just regular, normal, ordinary good fun of enjoying a game of actual golf. For them, I can see how it might be EXTREMELY fucking annoying if they are just a couple of guys who were waiting all week at their stressful jobs, just dying to get on the course and smash some drives and have a good fun game of actual golf that they enjoy, as a sport. And then, suddenly all that, that they were looking forward to, is all completely fucked over by these two guys who they randomly get paired with who are completely trashed off their ass, taking forever to do anything, taking constant breaks to go drink and hit on women off on the sidelines, screaming/laughing/stumbling around while the others are trying to at least somewhat concentrate to play actual golf, like, as a sport where you are trying to win, or outdo your previous best, not as an anal-rententive/overly serious person or anything, but rather just as a person who genuinely enjoys the sport itself, and was looking forward to getting to play a good actual game of it, but now having that totally ruined by their partners who are completely disrupting it.

I think, in order to make a better analogy, since you mentioned that your standard view of the game of golf is that it can only be truly enjoyed thoroughly if you are trashed while playing it, like, if you have that view of it, and can't see it any other way, from the point of view of people who actually enjoy it better sober, since they actually truly enjoy the actual game itself as a sport, I'll give you an example in a sport that you most likely don't view in a must-be-played-drunk-to-enjoy-it sort of way:

Basketball.

Let's say you were at the gym, or the local bball courts, and there was a pickup game of basketball. And the guys playing it were all sober, regular guys just enjoying a good fun competitive game of pickup basketball. And they weren't assholish, super anal, super ultra way too serious weirdos or anything, no, just, regular people, playing basketball, keeping score, trying to win, just enjoying a good fun game of basketball. They aren't calling ticky tack fouls and being fucking weird super serious assholes or anything, acting like it's an nba finals game. No. Rather, they are just playing a fun game of pickup basketball, keeping score, and trying their best, since that's fun for them, the enjoyment of an actual real game of actual competitive basketball, even though everyone is well aware that it isn't "for" anything, and is well aware it doesn't matter on any actual level, which is why nobody in the game is being anal/asshole style/overly serious about every little detail or anything, but, at the same time, they are all trying to actually play real basketball, since a good competitive actual fucking game is like... you know... FUN. So they keep score, and they play like they actually are trying to win, cuz that's the way that it's the most fun (for them).

And then in comes two completely trashed guys, each holding a beer in one hand, running wildly around on the court swatting at the ball, tackling each other/crashing into people, and any time anyone on their team passes them the ball, they just throw up a full court airball lob right away, just totally fucking over the game, turning it into a total shitfest of not actual basketball, where nobody who was there to play actual basketball is having any fun, cuz of it gettin totally ruined by these guys who aren't interested in the actual game itself, but instead are there to just be as drunk as possible and hit on chicks on the sidelines etc, and disrupt the shit out of the game. Obviously that would piss all the other players on the court off pretty fucking bad. And it wouldn't be weird of them, it would be normal... think about it.

Well, now try applying the scenario above to golf. Like, I get that you view at as a game that, in your point of view can/should only be enjoyed when severely drunk, but, if you realize at all that some people actually enjoy it as an actual sport, where the fun is derived from the actual competition of it and of trying to see if they can outdo their previous best, like, drive it better than they have before, get a birdie on a hole they never did before, but had lots of close calls on and feel like this time maybe they can get it, but instead now they have to put all that shit on hold, and wait and wait and wait while these two drunk dudes they (not by their choosing) happened to get stuck paired up with are taking their sweet time drinking constnatly, doing shit off on the sidelines with women, driving all over the fucking place, onto the green, teeing off the wrong holes, being super loud/distracting, teasing the sober guys for being nerds/dorks for not getting drunk like they are, or at least looking at them with that sort of look the whole time, making them have to endure the awkwardness of pissed off people playing through them over and over and over, while they have to just stand there and take it, in full sobriety, being fully aware of all the other people's pissed off glances/comments as people keep having to play through them while they stand there, unable to fucking do anything, waiting forever for you guys to slowly drunkenly play. And, worse still, since they have met you before and somewhat know you guys, they have to awkwardly just cringe and take it, and pretend not to mind, when it's completely ruining their golf session that they were actually looking forward to playing, possibly for a while, because they don't want to seem rude (ironically). But after a while, it's just too fucking much, and they give up and decide to move on so that you guys can enjoy yourselves being as drunk and slow etc as you want while they can enjoy themselves by enjoying the actual golf itself as much as they want. It just doesn't seem very likely that they were the ones who were being annoying assholes. It seems a lot more likely that you guys were the ones who were, and that you just didn't realize it at the time, because you were too trashed to realize it.

Obv I could be wrong, but that's def what I would guess if I had a gun to my head and had to make an educated guess based on what you said in the OP along with what clay added further down, lol.

The point isn't that it's all that big of a deal (it isn't). Everyone gets trashed or disruptive at some point or another in a place where the people the are with aren't feeling that vibe at that moment. It happens. Rather, the point is that it's going to happen over and over and over, constantly if you REFUSE to ever even TRY to see anything from other people's perspectives. If you never even give the slightest fuck about trying to put yourself in someone else's shoes, and see how something might be for them, when they are viewing something or doing something a different way from you (in this case golf, but there are infinite other scenarios), if you just NEVER ever think about things from how it feels for those around you, and only for how it is for you in that moment of time in that state of mind, then you will never realize when YOU are the one being a dick, and then, unfortunately, that means that by not REALIZING when you're being a dick, you're going to end up BEING a dick... a LOT, due to not realizing it, due to not being able to view things from other people's points of view in any scenarios ever. So, it's a good skill to have, to be able to step back for a second sometimes and think about things at least a LITTLE more carefully occasionally maybe.

Sigh. Now I feel bad since it probly looks like I have a problem with you or some bone to pick with your or something (I swear I seriously really don't, and i apologize if it came off that way, I am just being honest of what I was thinking when reading the OP and thread, and trying to be helpful to you (in the longrun)). Again, I'm sorry if I sounded mean or whatever in this post, that was not my overall intention of it.

what I found interesting is you were afraid that "best friend" sounded gay but used LOL about 6 times, used anywho, and "like" about 14 times. Maybe you should reconsider what is actually gay.

I don't even play golf, but I would hate playing golf with you.

when OP is passed out, somebody should take him and leave him in a car parked on the side of a highway in the middle of death valley with a webcam inside for us to watch.

[x] never opening a thread started by this fucking dooshbag again

I mean, I've brought fifths of booze out for a round, and often consume numerous beers throughout a round, while still keeping pace and respecting people I'm playing withs' game.

Sounds like OP is not only a douchebag, but a total noob

This post is from the same dude who can't drive on the highway without having a panic attack. Bet you play from the ladies' tees too, douche.

Not even a cool story bro.
