Outragious or funny golf partner cheaters...

Today I was in a random 4 some and the guys were all nice enough but one of the players was a 14 year old freshmen. He was a little unclear on rules, which I was helping him with in the nicest way I could, trying to not be demeaning but educational. Well all day he was taking liberties on the course until he took the cake with this one. He hadn't hit a drive much over 230-240 all day and all of his driver shots were, moon chasers, which is fine. Well we came to the 7th hole a par 4 335 hole and hits another one of his sky high drives into the wind and sun and we lose sight f it immediately. Well we all are walking towards the hole and never see his ball. We all find ours but his is presumably in the left rough and short. Well he keeps walking way ahead of us and I am like wth is he doing. I get up to the green and he states "he found his ball" pin high. We of course humor him and say wow great shot. You are quite the power hitter. He conveniently forgets quite a few shots throughout the day and the 2 stroke penalty for practicing in the bunker, to finally exclaim that he shot a 40! And that he thought he was not playing that well and was surprised to shoot so low.... Then goes on to talk about how he shot a 77 the week before.... I could only mumble something illegible.... He is a kid and I hope he grows out of this "one upper" stage so I was as nice as I could be.

So beat my story. I am sure there are some good ones out there....

I was playing a small money game with a 4-some once and a guy hits a white ball into the woods.  he yells....I found it...and out comes a yellow ball..........LOL

An acquaintance that I've only played with a couple of times has so many alteration to rules, the only similarity to what he plays and golf is that he uses a golf ball and golf clubs.  Can't even list all of his variations on the rules but some of them, a gimme putt is not counted and putts that should have gone in, do.  If he gets distracted on any swing, he gets a do over!

Played golf with a group of guys down at Myrtle Beach a few years ago. One guy had a "unique" way of marking his ball on the green. He would pick up the ball, than throw a quarter down in front of it. Usually landed 6 to 12 inches closer to the hole.

The lamb does tend to dry out if isn't frequently basted.

I was playing a 9 hole course by myself on a low traffic day at a rather slow and comfy pace. The guy behind me was playing at a rather speedy pace so I invited him to play the last couple holes with me. On the 9th hole (par 4) he tees off with a 3 wood and completely duffs it. Reloads and hits a decent shot followed by a decent approach. He gets a phone call on his way to the green. He's in mid conversation when he takes his putt, which he sinks, and announces to his comrade on the phone "I just sank a birdie! Hey [so-and-so] I just sank my birdie putt while I was talkin to ya!".

Last I checked, 2 shots off the tee plus the penalty,  the approach, and the 1 putt = a bogey, not a birdie. I held my peace... let him have his "moment" lol.

You should have burned him for talking on the phone on the golf course!
