Golf with Bob

[kregan]

When you play golf as a single you never know who you
will get paired with. Today I teed off alone but by the
3rd. hole I joined up with Bob, Danny, and Tom.

Tom is a truck driver and his buddy Danny is a PG county
police officer.

Bob was playing with his partner. Bob is 86 years old, walks,
and has a motorized push cart that looks as old as I am. Bob
is from Maine and travels around in his motor home and plays
golf :)

Bob's partner rides along with the golf clubs in a little basket
and has his own umbrella when it gets to hot.

Now that's great!! That had to be a hoot. By the way, what did Bob shoot? As if it matters!!!! I'll bet a fun day on the course, eh?

We should all be as lucky as Bob. Walking a golf course at 86, who's better than Bob?

This man is my hero right now! Thx for the chuckle

Does Bob's partner have a name? Golf tricks?

I am totally missing something in this post.

I think it's great that Bob walks the course, plays at that age and travels all over. But the partner? Is it a dog or something?

Not sure if there is a pic or something that I am not seeing....

There was a GREAT picture on the original post with 86 year old Bob walking behind his cart with a dachschund in a plastic basket above the clubs. It was great! I wonder what happened to the picture in the original post though. Hopefully the OP can put the pic back up; it was hilarious!

About a month ago, I walked 9 holes with 2 guys, John and Dick. John was 86 years old, and Dick was 79. They have been playing partners for 30 some years. They both struck the ball fairly well and were excellent putters. It happened to be John's birthday that day and he got a hole in one on a 120 yard par 3. One of the coolest things that I've ever seen on the golf course. The story is, however, that John and Dick played this golf course last year on John's 85th birthday and John had a hole in one on the same hole. That is unreal, IMO. All three of us shot in the low 40's. I hope I am able to do that when I'm 80. Enjoy a nice day on the golf course pushing my cart. What could be better?

Thanks for explaining, I thought I must be an idiot or something because I couldn't get anything out of the story... Although I was sorta hoping that his "partner" in the bucket would turn out to be an 80-year-old gay midget.

The picture was removed ??? Don't know why

Anyway I think Bob shot an 89 or 90

You sure it was there to begin with? Your post doesn't show an "edited" or anything.

Did you post it on photobucket or something? Twitpic? One of the other hundred or so photo sharing sites (Flickr may be the best - the free account is fine and still lets you use your images elsewhere). Just use the [img] tags and post it again.

I played 9 holes with an 85 year old guy who used a pushcart. Nice guy, good conversation. Another great benefit of golf!
