Seeing as I've not hit a ball in a long time, I'd thought I'd hit the local driving range last night. Anyway, one bay down from me is a bloke who I would say was on his second or third lesson. With his wife sat on the bench behind the bay.

The Pro, was going through all the usual things, but the poor chap kept swinging away and the ball just hooked massively left and as a daisy cutter not far in front of him.

However the reason for the tiitle of this thread has nothing to do with his golfing ability, but more to do with his wife.

Comments like. "You're not listening to him", to "You're not doing as he's telling you", through to "I'm no professional, but 'follow through dear, follow through'". And so on, for the whole lesson.

I bet he can't wait to get out on a golf course, where one presumes, his wife won't be!!


As for my own performance. It was okay, but to be honest, I wasn't that fussed. I just enjoyed a beer and hiting some balls. Which is most unlike me.


Anyone else got some antidotes from visits to the range.
 
which range to you go to hapless?

I went over to the range at Parley the other day . I had the opposite in the bay next to me. There was a bloke, who seemed fairly good, and his Mrs. Every shot he hit she raved over. 'that was amazing' 'that went exactly where you aimed it'

this was annoying !!:confused: and what made it even worse, she was one of the most unfortunately looking women I have ever seen!!

The rather shabby one at Ferndown Forest. But at least there's a bar behind the range, and the smell of the chienese resturaunt really makes it.
 
poor bloke!

Last week a young guy came in with all the gear and a stunning girlfriend in tow, slim long legs, blonde and obligatory sunglasses on (it wasnt sunny) he hit balls like a pro while she stood behind and watched without saying a word, they left after 30 mins and drove off in a Porche.................."you have my life" I screamed out....in my head:cool:
 
I just wouldn't take HID with me to the range. Mainly, she is better than me and would end up pointing out my flaws in front of the other range blokes making my quest for alpha status not just questionable but totally ridiculous.
Other than that, she's a pain in the .....!!
