The pro is not the cart operators boss at this place. It's a stand alone range, the cart driver was the manager and the pro rents a spot there to teach. Yea I talk to this guy once a week, I hit a bucket there weekly on top of a lesson here and there. I'm glad the pro just agreed with me when I said I needed to leave. I was going to really lose my cool at any minute. The pro called me after and told me he chewed his ass for costing him a customer and acting like an idiot. I really like the pro and we have set up another lesson at a different range. Apparently the manager wanted my number to call and apologize, I said no we're good. Either he realized how big a jackass he was, or realized I come there weekly with usually a few friends. None will be coming back after this incident.

I was at the range today taking a lesson. I was aiming to a target on left side of range with my 3 wood. I hit a low liner about 200 with a mean slice. The cart was being driven from right to left and my ball smacked into the cart. The pro and I didn't really think much of it, just an oops I hit the cart. Well he proceeds to drive back around, and he's yelling that he thinks his hand is broke. The guy gets out of the cart and is yelling at me. I say I'm sorry and don't really know what to say, I mean he's driving out there in a caged cart with people hitting golf balls. Apparently there was an 8 inch opening that my ball made it through and hit him. Anyway I apologize and the pro tells him, "hey I don't know what to tell you, he's aiming out there and hit a slice". I say yea I suck, that's why I'm here getting lessons. We again tell him that we weren't aiming for him(I couldn't hit that cart if I tried). He walks off and we continue our lesson, we begin talking about something different and I must of smiled or laughed, he runs back over and yells, "I bet you think you're pretty cute smiling about it, I wanted a better apolgy!" I stay pretty cool and just tell him I'm sorry again, and I ask what he wants me to do? "Should I get on my knees and beg for forgiveness and kiss it for you?" He walks away yelling more nonsense, I look at the pro and tell him I'm leaving. Anyway I only got half my lesson in. This guy was being ridiculous, right? I mean I feel bad I hurt his hand, but come on.

I'm terrible, this year I have invested in lessons and have been working on range. Haven't seen any improvements in score yet, have yet to break100. I've only played 4 rounds this summer though. Going this morning on my own for first time, and hoping to relax and put together a score. I am busy and don't really have the time to put in tons of work on my game, but if I could get to where half my shots weren't dubs and shanks into the woods, that would be great!
