Wife had our 3rd child on 8/18, so I hadn't played since 8/16 - so about 5 weeks. Played Bethpage Red on Saturday and shot 42-41 and Bethpage Blue on Sunday and shot 44-42. Played ok on Saturday with a couple of 7s on the card for an 83. Yesterday only hit 5 fairways.
Anyway, played on Saturday with a guy from California. He spent the night in his car, played the Black on Saturday morning and then had a cart with us for a 2pm tee on the Red. We were all singles in a foursome - myself and the two other guys were locals. We chatted him up about his first trip around the Black - "I was in the sand 13 different times, but ws able to get it around in 82" and "It wasn't that difficult of a course, even from the tips" OK - now we're dealing with a douchebag.
He walks back to the tips on the Red course, as the 3 of us are standing on the whites, and proceeds to hit a sinking dunk hook off the elevated first tee and into the 18th fairway...LOL. By the 7th hole, as he was on his way to shooting 50 on the front, when asked for his score he responded, "Yeah, I'm working on a couple of things so I'm not going to keep track." Of course, he wanted to take credit for birdie on the par 5 16th....after his first tee shot was sliced into the woods (by this time, he was playing from the whites and not the tips) and had to hit a 2nd tee shot.....when we noted he actually just made 6, he says, "Well if you want to go by the book."
Don't tell me you just shot 82 from the tips on the Black and then shoot 50 on the front of the Red.
