Who is your golf nemesis?

[DannyMac]

My neighbor/friend/co-worker is most definitely my golf nemesis;

We'll play 35-40 rounds together a year at our club and we keep track of medal play matches between us.  We are both similar handicaps, but he has got a lot better over the past 2 years which has given him a lot of confidence.  2016 showed well in my favour, I finished 19 wins, 12 losses, 5 ties.  It always in good fun and we actually enjoy the rivalry, we both think it makes us play better.  I recently started a new job at the same institution as my golf nemesis and I took an early lead in 2016.  This allowed me to gloat a little to our co-workers.  He then went on to wallop me 3 rounds in a row and photocopied and emailed the scorecards to all of the fellow golfers in the office.  This lead to me getting a dry-erase board to show our head-to-head record for the entire office to see,  our boss loved it and our co-workers were always asking when we're playing next.  He recently took a different job elsewhere, so the dry-erase board has been retired, but I'll still occasionally keep the office informed about our record in 2017.

I'm beginning to obtain a new golf nemesis, called "TST - Fantasy Golf"
It's devastating beyond ones imagination, that some Top World players are getting their butts kicked.

Yes, one fellow I used to play with regularly with from the neighborhood.  He always kept his own score to himself, then asked me after the round what I carded.  He always seem to shoot one stroke better.

You shot a 73? Close, but I shot a 72.

Good friend of mine.  Starting 3 years ago, we've finished every season playing the "Paskin Challenge for the Giraffe of Shame Trophy."  36 hole, overall match-play.  The loser takes home this awful looking wooden giraffe to look at all year long, but also gets to "engrave" it with a sharpie and message of their choosing.  Can't wait to see what this thing looks like in 10 years...or even next year since it's currently in his possession .

 

Welp, another year and another Paskin Challenge in the books with a 3rd straight victory for your truly!  We included our other 2 buddies this time, so we changed it from 36-hole match play to 36-hole net stroke play.  The Giraffe of Shame was actually decided after the first 18 as the best player of the four of us had a tough first round and decided to go home rather than go around again...so he's getting some extra shame with an official "DNF" haha.

With 4 of us now playing, we decided to order a championship belt for the overall winner to take home.  Can't wait to sport that thing during our next round as my entire game just clicked over the weekend and I blew the doors off those guys for the first time all year!  I'll post a picture when it comes in .

P.S. - didn't want to start a new thread for this but apologize for bumping an old one here.
