My daughter was helping organize a corporate day at the Torrence course at St Andrews and got me a invite to play, day started off well with a putting competition with a good prize of return golf and a stay for 2 at the hotel, I was leading with 3 other players to go but one of the 3 beat me, but it set me up for a good day ... or so I thought.
Competition was stableford teams of 3, I was paired with a Irish guy and a guy from Canada, first tee bit nervous but starter was good and advised what line I should take, after a good drive and second shot that landed on the fringe of the green I putted up to less than a foot from the hole, tap in parr for the first hole I was well pleased, as I was walking up to ball the Canadian guy tapped the ball back to me and said “ I’ll give you that” I was astounded and annoyed and told him as it’s a competition you can’t do that, not a good start to the round.
Walking up the forth fairway he got annoyed at a bad shot he made threw a ball in air and whacked it onto another fairway.
Another hole a drive of mine landed just on the fringe found a old top flight ball and he said it didn’t matter about my ball and just play that one.
He proceeded to give me advice on the back 9 and ruined a good day out, not only a cheat but a utter idiot as well.
