Don't Be "That Guy"
« on: October 22, 2011, 01:16:13 PM »
I spent the last 8 days on the road playing all over the Gulf Coast, I left Texas and went far enough east to beat up on McBride. All the time in the car got me thinking about golf, people, life, and other things. I had planned a 3 day trip to Biloxi for sometime but with the recent death of my Father I knew I needed to have a golf orgy.

 With 12 rounds in 8 days I enjoyed some wonderful courses, I am very blessed that I have gotten to play some of the courses I have. I am also blessed that I've gotten to play with many people all over America including many GCA'ers. The vast majority of GCA'ers are people, enjoy playing golf and enjoying new courses. Then there are those who I liked to call "that guy." I came up with this list as I drove SEC Country and all these have come from the mouths of GCA'ers.

I don't like blind shots, Scottish golf is stupid and not golf.
If a par 5 can't be reached in two then it's a bad hole.
Every course should be Top 100 quality
Every round should take 4 hours so I get my monies worth.
I don't like to play public courses.
I won't play Bandon or Pebble because anyone can.
Bunkers should always be perfect.
If greens aren't running 11+ then I don't want to play them.

Feel free to add more, I have a list that I started writing, I need to get it out of my car.

Enjoyed following your trip this past week on fb, Sambo. I hope the down time helped after losing your dad. Glad you got to see Bill as well.

As to your list, the best I've seen is this one:

"People shouldn't wear logos from clubs of which they do not belong."  GMAFB ;D

I only play courses with slopes above 135.  Overheard in Scotland
We have a pool and a pond, the pond would be good for you.

Sam Morrow is off his head with heat stroke or he still does not understand how to play golf.

Look no further than the modern sickness that has infected our once great game, alas reduced to cart driving dick heads who for some stupid reason think they are playing golf. To play golf Sam you have to walk otherwise you are not playing the game. >:(

Do hope you recover from the sun stroke soon as you bear a proud name, if only you would remember that when talking crap. ::)

Do wish you a nice day but do keep up with the medication, it shows when you forget to take them. :'(

That last sentence of Melvyn's post might well be the most ironic thing ever posted on gca.com written.

You yourself can be a bit of a dickhead, Melvyn.  Sam came to play with me and we walked.  Where does it say in his opening post that he rode a cart?   He did mention a beer cart but not riding one. 

You are always going on about hoe we don't appreciate your sense of humor, but you really missed the mark on this one. 

(Waiting for the standard obligatory blast in response.)

Melvyn, who said anything about a cart? As for the medication thing I drank heavily, does that count?

My "that guy"  is the a*& hole who talks on his cell phone loudly for several minutes at the driving range laughing and shooting the shit as long as he wants.

Agreed, if you need to talk on your phone that's fine but as teachers would say use your inside voice.

Hi Bill

All I will say is how come no one has responded to the following "Scottish golf is stupid and not golf"  Proves Sam has learnt zero from this site and come to that very few seem to disagree with his statement.

Have a nice evening

Maybe Melvyn's posts on this thread are his ironic, roundabout way of driving the original point home?    If so, thanks for the cautionary example, Melvyn.
