  • Unsupervised children.....what can't go wrong?

    Why oh why do parents have to leave their children unsupervised in public places?

    I brought my brother and a friend of mine out for 36 holes of mini-golf today. It was unbelievably crowded for a Thursday. During our second 18 hole round, a group of three kids (none older than 14, which i know because my brother asked them) settled in behind us. Then among us, then all over us.

    Basically, they decided that they'd walk all over the green while we were trying to finish up the hole. They were literally walking in the path of our shots. They were also climbing the obstacles, swearing, pounding their clubs in the garden areas, mock sword fighting with their clubs, and splashing the water hazards. Now, I don't mind them watching, but this was ridiculous. I had to YELL at them - twice - before they finally got the hint and backed off. Eventually they wound up three groups behind us, but then porceeded to start tear-assing up and down the entire golf course over and over again.

    "Hello again!" They'd say each time they passed.

    brats.

    I laughed unmercifully at one of them when I saw him putt hsi ball DIRECTLY into the drink.

    Gah. Sounds awful. I probably would have gotten a manager if I were you.

        I encountered a group of kids like this when I was playing golf at a local course. They too were about 14 or 15. I get to the 8th hole, tee up, then prepare to wait patiently as they played through. One of the kids notices me:

        SK: "Hey.. check this guy out."
        SK2: <Butthead laugh> "He can suck my dick."



        I didn't say anything, I wasn't tapping my foot, I was being patient. Standard course etiquette. Of course, standard course etiquette also dictates that if you're a larger group, you let smaller (thus faster) groups or a single player play through, but these kids weren't interested in etiquette. Once they saw I was there, they started taking their sweet time so I couldn't play through. Finally, they move on, so I go to take my shot. Since I knew they were up around the tee for the 9th hole, I shouted "Fore!". And... a clean miss. I'm a duffer to the hilt, I'm not good, but I play because I enjoy it. A good warm summer day, sunshine, a nice breeze, exercise, who wouldn't? I have had my share of good shots though.

        Anyway, these kids noticed and were laughing their heads off. Not the kind of laugh with you (it was kind of funny), but at you, and their taunts increased. I made sure to let the course manager know about these punks when I returned to the club house, and he said he'd have a chat with them. A lot of kids today just have no respect for others.

          Adults can be just as annoying if you know them.
          I was on my class trip last summer at a mini golf course, I had teed up, just about to putt, and my math teacher came up behind me and scared me.

          I accidentally hit him in the shin.

              I used to have a very wealthy friend back in my old hometown. Now, you must understand, the little city I was born and raised in, golf is only for rich folk. And the country club next to the golf course is practically VIP, or for the city's wealthiest folk.

              So I got invited to spend a day with some snobs.

              I was trying to tee off, concentrating really hard, trying to impress everyone (I have no athletic ability or skill whatsoever), and I decide to kneel down and inspect the ball.

              One random jackass in the group decided to demonstrate how to tee off using my forehead as the ball. He didn't whack it extremely hard, but hard enough to leave a dent in my forehead that is still there to this day.

              When I stopped seeing stars, I grabbed a bigger club and chased him around with that club and finally whacked him in the balls as hard as he'd whacked me in the forehead.

              And it was great.

              The End.

              I hate golf of all kinds.

                  Hey, he recovered. And he started it

                  He doesn't have a dent in his forehead for the rest of his life!

                  I probably did his gene pool a favor anyway

                  I have my Mysty moments every now and then......it's always so great because I look like such a helpless little bimbo but when I strike, I strike with force.
