The rules are simple:

The first person makes a wish, and the next person finds some way to derive bad consequences from granting the wish, or to otherwise tag a downside to it, before stating their own wish:

Person 1: I wish for a million dollars.

Person 2: Wish granted, however it is Monopoly money and worthless.
I wish for perfect weather.

Person 3: Wish granted. You get perfect weather… for polar bears.
I wish I was a good putter.

Person 4: Wish granted, but you are the worst driver and iron player the world has ever seen, so you never get on the green in fewer than about six strokes.


Who wants to start with a wish?

P.S. Don't violate free will with your answers, please. Don't say "wish granted, but then you spend it all on one hand of poker" or something.

Wish granted! But you made it on a packed course with an expensive bar menu and no hole-in-one insurance. Your tab comes to about $2500.

I wish that Tiger would win five more majors to put the GOAT discussion to rest once and for all.

Wish granted, but Jack Nicklaus wins The Masters next spring. Still not GOAT.

I wish that I was offered a complimentary membership to Augusta National.

Granted! But you have to work one of the concession stands during the Masters, and never get to walk the course during the tournament.

I wish I had a set of Edel irons and wedges.

Wish granted, but the membership is only a One Year membership and you slip walking up to the first tee and break a leg with a terrible compound fracture in your leg and will not be able to walk for 14 months....

Wish granted, but you later find out that they were stolen as the cops bring you in for questioning.

Wish Granted. The cast(s) of Days of Our Lives, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, and General Hospital will each announce one of the four majors while in character, with special emphasis on human interest and romantic entanglements. 

I wish for the guy that hit into me earlier today poop his pants at the store.

Wish granted, all famous people live forever but are forced to live in Florida and now you don't have a place to live.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
