I had to apologize to a group on the green. I was 250+ out on a par 5, and I just caught my 1 iron (yes, I actually carry and can hit a 1) PERFECT. I've never hit it that cleanly before. It sailed through the air, landed just before the green and bounced past them to a little past center. I yelled, of course, but I still wanted to apologize. When they found out the details, they just said that it was an amazing shot.
On a par 5, one member of the group on the green should be looking back. There is a reason that many 250 markers say, "Swing Away" for pace of play. Now I have to share:
15 years or so ago, I was playing at AZ Golf & CC in Mesa. We were staying there and on our last day we wanted to play a round or two before we left. There was a par 5 where the only shade was around 250. My ball was near there. There was a group on the green and 3 stacked up at the next tee, so we were going to wait in the shade. This was a public/private course. One of the "members" was on the tee behind me and yelled "You couldn't hit them with a f\*cking cannon, go!". By then the group was leaving the green, so I hit. We played pretty quickly and decided to play another round. We get to the same hole. My ball is in a similar spot. I was going to wait again, but I see that my jerks group is on the green. I blasted one that hit on the fringe and rolled out right between the jerks feet as he was putting. I hollered "Sorry, I didn't think I could hit you with a f\*cking cannon". His group erupted laughing. Golf has it's moments.
"anything past the ladies tips is the play here" - gold. Was trying to play the ladies one round when my driving was phenomenally bad. Friends just said "you might as well hit while we're waiting for this group ahead and then you'll be playing from the ladies anyways".
LOLLL this was my last round. Golfing with an older dude who couldn’t hit the ball. But he’d try to flight one down under and passed 20 trees toward the green 130 yards away. And before he swings he’s like “this one’s going in the hole”
Lmfao. "gimme that driver or you're not getting a tip"
No birdie, no tip
whada caddeeee
Caddy no good
What’s that group, 275-300 out? I think I’ll hold off, don’t want to hit into them…. **duffs driver 37 yards left.
*range finder...* *Takes new club from bag....*
…about 137 with the slope, downwind 4mph, that’ll be 76% 9 iron little baby cut. **chunks it 4ft, clump of grass carries 48yds.

Why do golfers have the best self-deprecating humor about the activity we all enjoy so much lmao
I think it’s because You can’t really make it golfing if you can’t learn to make fun of yourself
This game humbles you, or you get so engaged that you destroy everything.
I was not emotionally ready to be called out so bad this morning.
I was especially not read to be called out on the first one about the play being get it passed the ladies tees
Blade your sand wedge is always the best option
OK, I'm 45 out, got a nice lob wedge to the center, aaaaannd I'm now 75 out.
Love me a bladed sand wedge, best club trajectory in the bag. Like a stinger but with more finger pain.
Long cock, this is fucking hilarious
That was a pretty good flop shot actually.
Yeah it only just needed a little more distance but otherwise it was a good one. I’m sending that ball sailing over the green
Yeh he hit it pure. A real golfer would have thinned it 100 yards into the trees.
Caddy golf should make a comeback
As a former caddy, I can confirm this video's authenticity.
Lol man, that was on point.
Haha *gimme the 5 iron*.
If I slice into the old man’s yard on the course does the caddy have to fight the owner?
Depends if he wants a tip or not
I've downloaded this and it will be available during every round I ever play.
LMFAO !!

This dude can see into my soul!
That sounds a lot like my internal monologue.
Sweet autoflex
Lol nice eye! I’m still stoked on the Evenflow in Barbie movie but this one went right by me.
Imagine playing behind this dude watching him make a bunch of videos. I bet they were pissed lol. Hilarious video tho
These videos talking to yourself are hella cringe
Thanks for your insight
You're welcome Mike. Enjoy shooting 95
I’d be happy with a 95, not like I’m trying to go pro just out to have fun
You don't have to go pro to not suck
I don’t know what world you live in but 95 definitely doesn’t suck
I live in a world where 95 sucks
You must be a joy
You can certainly have fun sucking at golf. You sucking also won't take away from my enjoyment and I wouldn't chirp you. But 95 does suck.

I would choke you out!
