Why is it there is always someone or a group there that always irritate, think they own the place or generally want to show off rather than just get on with hitting balls!
Tonight prime example, HID is away for a couple nights for my sisters birthday pampering. So thought would have nice couple days myself starting today by finishing work early to go and teach a kids Taekwondo as a stand in for regular instructor, then had a brief matt session with one of the other instructors. After this showered, changed and off to the range for bit of work and nice quiet evening!
That's where it went wrong! Nice and empty driving range, got myself a nice spot where I could fire at all the targets and 4 balls in some guy puts himself in the bay next to me and instead of getting on with what he's doing he decides to stand behind me and watch me, then starts trying to give me advice on why i'm not hitting my wedges right out there! Errr I'm hitting 1/2 shots to different targets at 40,60,80,100yds out to warm up not trying to kill the ball!
He then leaves me alone and half dozen balls later is telling me again how he can correct my swing as he can see i'm inconsistent what with slicing, hooking and thinning shots! Err no that's purposeful practice hitting a fade, draw, low and high shots with different clubs again to different targets and shots being aimed for and executed!
So leaves me alone again but at this point i'm hitting my driver and he starts hitting his then leans over stating how much further he's hitting his! Now I've had enough and tell him at least mine goes straight and tell him where to go with his advice and move myself down a few bays. But it didn't end there he came strolling over and said to me "look mate clearly you think you know how to play golf but I play off 11 and have been for years so I know what I'm talking about and maybe you should learn to take advice from better players like myself"
After he said this and I'd finished :rofl:and:clap: I couldn't help but unload on him and how maybe he should learn manners, respect and to leave others alone to their practice and next time he thinks of talking to me to think again and foxtrot Oscar!
Night ruined I packed my gear up leaving the last dozen or so ball and came home!
Now I feel better!
