I had two very different alcohol-related golf experiences this past week (though they were related to public courses).
One was at High Point. We got there around noon and were planning to eat lunch. We got to the grill room and had to wait about 15 - 20 minutes while three foursomes were getting a six-pack (each) to go in course-provided foldable coolers. These guys were all dressed in the same white golf shirts with some three-letter logo on the left and nicknames like "Gangbang" and "Marion Berry" (sic) on them. To top it all off, one guy was wearing his golf shirt with blue running shorts. Thankfully, they were playing the back nine. Given the challenges that can await on that nine holes, I wonder how many holes out of the 108 played by those three foursomes were completed under the rules of golf.
A couple days later, we got to our hotel. Two guys were outside smoking and chatted us up as we were carrying our golf bags inside. They asked us where we were playing. We said we were playing Pilgrim's Run the next morning. They talked about how they had played there that day and gotten rained on the whole time. And then one of them gets this very serious look on his face and says (I'm probably paraphrasing) "One thing you really should know...They don't allow any alcohol at all on the course." We just kind of chuckled as none of us are big drinkers. After hearing this he made it a point to reiterate, "No, really. There's no alcohol in the clubhouse and no alcohol is allowed to be brought in." Apparently, the alcohol policy was more important to him than talking about the green complexes or other challenges that awaited us. At least he wasn't wearing running shorts.
