Funny Story

Austin, TX

 

This  story is too funny not to pass on.

 

So Ryan and I arrive at the practice tee in Austin this morn, and an unnamed Champion’s Tour player is on the range.  We see him every week and he talks a lot.

 

First, he tells us about this girlfriend that he hadn’t talked to for 20 months.  Strangely, they are back in contact, and he has told her to quit here bleeping job and come out and travel with him the rest of the year.  His comment is that what she lacks in good looks, she will make up for with good company.  And it won’t cost that much more money in travel expenses………

 

Then he starts his weekly bitching about his caddy.   This week our player has been waiting for his caddy for over an hour, and the caddy has been late every day.  When the caddy finally arrives, he tells the player that he has a job with Woody Austin on the PGA Tour for the next three weeks and won’t be able to work for our player.  So now our buddy is looking for a caddy.

 

Later in the day we run into him again, and he has lost his sand wedge, has no idea where, and is having the Adams Golf rep build him a new one. 

 

And last of all, he asks us if we have any golf balls, because the Titleist rep hasn’t shown up yet.  So he is stealing practice balls from the range to use in the pro am tomorrow.

 

This is the same guy that had a yelling match with his caddy in Tampa after making a nine on a par 5, and had an ear infection and could only hear out of one ear (his bad ear) in Mexico.

 

And this ladies and gentleman is a professional golfer.

 

And so am I.  Someone is probably telling the same sort of stories about my caddy and me….

 

What a life!
