Another "Tipping" Story


Recommended Posts

Having worked in the service industry I am a pretty good tipper. Not extravagant, but I do take care of people that deserve it. I only tipped in a golf store once. The guy was helping me with a driving iron and I went in with a preconceived idea with a game improvement 2 driving iron. Well, the guy sized me up and we ended up going with the player's model 3 iron which I was just hitting ropes with and almost as long as the 2 irons. I went to check out and asked he person if the guys worked on commission and the answer was no. So I went back and handed the guy a ten and said I am buying you a drink and left. The guy did his job, went out of his way, and provided a superior customer service experience.

So, did you ever buy him a drink?  And meet again?

Lol, i have no idea what he did with the money.

Now I get my regular clubfitter a bottle of Vodka every few months. I send him so much business he rarely charges me full price for anything so I drop off a bottle as a thank you.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
