I was at the golf range today. There were two older men hitting to the right of me (facing the range). I was addressed to hit a shot when I hear an aerosol sound. I figure its one of those water spray cans (it was bloody hot) and that one of the guys was spraying his face. All of a sudden I feel like a cockroach under RAID attack. I look up and the moron is spraying WD-40 on his clubs in FRONT of a fan they have set up! I approach him frikking steamed asking him to stop and asking him to be more considerate. He apologizes, then proceeds to move BEHIND the fan and continue. DOH! Where are these people from. Sorry I am just pissed after inhaling a quarter can of WD-40. What other stories do you have of people with single digit IQ's and no common sense on the range at the course etc...

Wow, that was pretty retarded.

I get pissed off when someone is using a Cobra driver on the range. It gives me a friggin' headache and tinnitus. What makes me even more upset is when they go right infront of me to pick up their pegs after every shot. Makes me wanna BOOM one right up their ass making them feel my pain.

Hey guys, I don't want to be the internet police here, but I don't think using the adjective used above to describe this guy in the topic is appropriate in any way. What if a user of this site happens to have a child with this particular disability? (I don't.) I think that is a very possible situation, and this could be really offensive. Please just think before you throw around certain words.

Why would he need to clean them with WD40? What happened to the old fashion towel wipe down?

You'd have to ask him that question. But the question was "What could be the purpose of that?"

Yeah I was feeling iffy about the word, hence the substituted @. But I was just steaming - usually I try to be as PC as possible.

I think you're missing the point here. It's not whether it's spelled out or not, it's the use of the term itself. Retardation is a disability. It's not a stupid person.

If my son or daughter was born retarded, I would be EXTREMELY offended by your remark. Call 'em a jerk, call 'em an A-hole, call 'em stupid, but to call them retarded is,well... stupid.

I am not missing the point. I admitting it is an un-PC term. If anything it's insensitive and thoughtless. Don;t go around calling people stupid. I'm sure before the whole PC movement lots of people went around using the "r" word for jerks and *******s. Don't become one yourself. I already admitted my wrong-doing.

It's tough to deal with idiots. I can't imagine what someone would be thinking to spray anything around or behind a fan pointed at someone. I would guess he thought he was cleaning and protecting his clubs from oxidation or something.

maybe he didn't want them to rust or something.

I wonder if he was tyrying to lube the faces to reduce spin? I kid you not I knew a guy that put vaseline on his driver before for that reason. (cheating, of course)

I was just thinking that, fact is WD 40 would be like putting chapstick on your driver face and then some. Guy sounds like a inconsiderate prick, funny how everytime i go golfing i run into at least 1 of those.

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
