Challenge Tour Pro
Quick scenario. Although I qulify for the over 50's I only joined my first club in March, and although I dont know anyone there I have been made most welcome by the guys I have played with in the competitions.
However on saturday my friend who was supposed to join me for a round cried out on Friday night. Because I had an early tee time I decided to go down to club and have a round by myself.
Any way off I went keeping behind the 2 ball in front. At the 4th a 3 ball called the 2 ball through and at the 6th the 3 ball called me through, they were on the fairway, and as usual when people call you through I cocked up the 2nd shot and the ball flew towards the trees. One of guys walked over and said,, do you want to join us and make a 4 ball, yes i said thats very kind of you.
At the end of the 9th one of the guys totalled up the scores to tell everyone what they had after 9 holes. They were only playing for a modest amount and asked me if I would like to join in for the back 9, why not I said. So 4 holes later and I'm standing on 13 points with a birdie to boot(h/c 26) and I state how embarrassed I am.
Later I'm standing on the 18th tee with 22 points and I thinking I cant take their money, any way I mucked up the 18th and didn't score.
As we walked off the green they shouted out to me ''see you in the clubhouse'' yes I replied. Later we all meet up and talked about our golfing abilities etc etc.
Any way they were telling me that they are a mixture of about 12 people who meet up every week (not all of them) and play, and they have asked me to join them. So phone numbers were exchange and I fill that I have made a lot of new friends who's company I am going to enjoy playing this game we all love.
By the way they insisted I took their money, but something tells me they are soon going to win it back.
