Crazy Story that happened to me...

I'm going into college at clemson, and I work at the local grocery store bagging groceries for now. So its about ten last night, and the store is getting ready to close. I'm cleaning the bathrooms, and get called up front to bag a big order for the cashier. Its this nice lady and her son, so i'm just going along like normal. We're almost done with the order, and the lady's husband walks up. I'm looking at him going, no way, this can't be who I think it is. So I say to him, I know you, and he goes, I'm a golfer....and I'm like, you're STEWART CINK!!! Ten o clock at night, at an ingles in seneca, sc, and I'm shaking hands with the British Open Champion...... best night of work ever :) He has a house in keowee key just north of town, that's why he was there if anyone is wondering lol. Just have to tell everyone here about it, it's a small world out there haha

Thats awesome. I visit Anderson every summer to see my grandpa. I just got into golf late last year, what are some good courses in the area. Im set to come up in a few weeks.

You should have asked him how he could kick an old man to the curb like that?

[bplewis24]

That's pretty cool. You should have mentioned that there's a thread here about whether or not it's okay to hate him :)

That's a great story :)

I have a couple of good ones which I might share later as well. Not about famous golfers though.

[Shindig]

That's awesome news. He seems a good guy?

I hope you washed your hands after cleaning the bathroom and before bagging his groceries / shaking his hand!

i can see the headline now: "British Open defending champion forced to withdraw due to gastrointestinal illness; American cashier suspected"

[Bigacito]

I was just in the Bi-lo in Seneca last night! I played Oconee Country Club during the day...

[augafan48]

haha yes i washed my hands, and surprisingly he wasn't as tall as i thought. I mean i'm six two and he was about my height. He seemed a very nice guy, so did his son and wife, it was just very cool to see him in real life, away from the course :) And Oconee is my home course haha, one of my favorite places in the world, love the people there :)

[augafan48]

The courses around anderson really aren't that great in my opinion, I enjoy boscobel in pendleton, but its pretty average. The best in the area by far is the walker course at Clemson, best practice area, course, fairways, layout, etc. So i'd pick that one for sure if I were you. You might even see me out there beating balls haha.

That's a cool story for sure. I'd have no idea what to say to him haha.
