There is always one

[Boabski]

i was just wondering if there is always one guy we know of at our respective clubs who is always heard before you see them,always talks about themselves,when you strike up a conversation it eventually, after a couple of sentences,gets on to the time he chipped in from here and there, the time he drained a raker from 30 feet for a birdie,and its the same every week.Don't they just make your blood boil ?

I play golf with a guy who's always heard first. He doesn't really comment on his great shots, but he usually moans about the greens regardless of where we play.

He's a nice guy but his voice is of such a specific frequency that you can hear him from any point on the golf course.

There was a similar tosser at the members club I belong to. He was always on his mobile phone saying stuff to make himself look "big"

This guy was a top amateur golfer, had sailed in international competition, was an apprentice pro footballer in his youth and could have gone pro at snooker. These were just some of his tales.

He would be on the phone saying "do the deal" "what about the so-and-so account" the list is endless.

Anyway, one day he was doing this, phone glued to his ear and..... it rang!

He was pretending the whole time and in fact the phone was switched off I suppose.

I played with a guy at the muni who, after a poor 5 iron second shot told me he wanted to play a high draw over a tree and brng the ball to the low side of the green but here is the sticking point .... he was off 25.

After every round he would storm into the locker room and tell us all how the gods were against him and if he had a bit of luck could have shot 6 over.

These guys a very semple, .... I mean simple.

Yeh i think there is always one fella like that!
I hate it when you ask people how they played out of coutesy (don't really what to know just a simple yes or no would do) then they start to say yeh played well hit my driver off the 1st and hit it a little high thought about hitting a 6 iron and then changed to a 5 iron hit it a little fat...................... then on the 8th i thought 5 wood blah blah blah
boooooooooooooooooooooringgggggggggggggggggg
god i was bored just writing that....
lol all play well!!!!!!!!!!

the thing about these blokes that gets to me is....
After you have listened to them and with me i don't or very rarely call them storey tellers, so i get the impression that they think i must be think cause i will believe any amount of poop they throw at me.

The fact they think I'm an idiot is the part that gets to me, and they don't realise i just want an easy life and can't be bothered with a fight cause i called them a liar.

bit of a conundrum, to fight/argue or not to fight/argue.

You think you guys have it bad, I play with actors. One plays a shot and the other three tell you how they would have interpreted it differently.

Gasp,

The thing with playing with actors is that tell tend to tell tall tales with a certain degree more decorum. Think its the thespian training. BTW did you meet up with James Bolam?

I think these characters exist in every clubhouse in the land (except the honary GM one where such behaviour will result in you buying a drink for the enitre forum before being banished to play weekly fourballs at the local muni with three football kit wearing, Escort knicking, golf cheating losers!!)
