I was on the range this morning, hitting some 3 woods. Now, our driving range is right along our ninth hole. (I should mention that I play at a nine hole course). So anyways, during my backswing, one of my junior counterparts says really loud "Hey, Conrad! Guess how many under I am?"
Needless to say, I was not impressed. So, I intended to try and act nice. I guessed one under, as this kid is a pretty good golfer, and we have a tough track. Well, he said he was two under and he had to save par from the fringe to shoot 34. So, I hardly cared, and I went back to hitting 3 woods. So, as he lines up his putt from the fringe, he hits it 3 feet past and then takes out the stick and places it on the edge of the green and proceeds to miss that putt. Then the fun part. He throws his ball in the water, and kind of puts in the flagstick crooked, and was swearing all the way to clubhouse. So, anyways, I finished my bucket and I walk down to the putting green, where this kid was. He said he birdied three holes in the middle of his round, and blah blah blah. This kid is famous for lying about his score. So, since he was playing "well" I invited him to play with me and try to go for the course record
which is +1.
He said he had to leave, but I told him he should at least play 5 holes and see how he's doing. He took a bogey on the first hole, tripled the third, and walked in.
I'm getting kind of bored of this kid. He lies about his score all the time and when he's in competiton, he always shoots in the mid forties and says that he never plays that way. I should mention that he almost always plays by himself.
I don't know about your guys courses, but I've only found a few kids that actually shoot what they say they do. I don't know about the junior golfers at your courses, but I'm sick of the ones at mine.
Thanks for letting my blab.
