Last weekend I was at the range working on drills from a previous lesson.  Anyway, a middle-aged couple is a couple of stations away from me.  She's obviously new to the game and he's trying to impart all his magnificent golfing wisdom.  I don't know if they are in a relationship, just friends, or even if the guy is actually an instructor (I hope not).   Anyway, I'm focusing on what I have to do but this guy is loud and obnoxious with a touch of arrogance in his tone and dressed like he just left a photo shoot for the cover of Golf Digest.  You all know what I mean.  It's that tone that says, "I know what I'm talking about because I am a golf god."  Here are few of his little gems that he actually said.

1.  Swing that driver and let the bid dog eat.

2.  I wouldn't exactly say you are a slow learner.

3.  I know 8 year olds that would kick your ass on the course. [Yes he actually said this and subsequently tried to make a weak "recovery" comment that they would give him a run for his money too......as he was choking on his own words.]

What an idiot.  Guys like this give the sport a bad name.  Anyone here any comments that are equal or better than these?

Let the big dog eat!

I'm going to make use of that phrase.  Haha.  Thanks for posting; sorry I can't contribute, but those are some good lines.

I have too many to list.

My favorite is still the strapping young 22-year-old hitting 100-yard duck hooks with the driver being told to swing more to right field by his instructor. Hmmm.

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
