The picture you see above was taken by me in the Tiger Woods herd. In those herds, there are a lot of things said by a lot of different people. Ever since I got into radio, I have gained this ability to hear three things at once. I can differentiate all three and it's my unofficial super power.
At the tournament, I found myself watching golf, but hearing a ton of weird things going on around me. I couldn't help but take notes because these were some really good interactions.
How about two guys who were out to enjoy a day of pro golf, but didn't know any of the rules. That's when I heard:
"I hear the PGA Tour is going to go to par 2’s for anything less than 120 yards ."
No, that is not true at all.
Then there is every boyfriend/husband's worst nightmare. The significant other you bring with you and all they do is complain. Like this couple:
"Girl: I don't feel comfortable wearing this outfit.
Guy: Babe, you look great. You look hot! Look at that girl. Not as hot as you.
Girl: I wish you would have let me at least bring my heels. What about when we go to the bar you promised? Which by the way, we have been here an hour and haven't had a drink yet."
Godspeed dude, godspeed.
This one almost had me laughing out loud. It was two women who apparently were friends, talking about a pro golfer.
"Girl 1: Who's that guy? He's cute.
Girl 2: I don't know but he is cute.
Girl 1: And since he's not that famous I think I may have a chance."
Always aim high people.
Then you had the weekend warriors like everyone I know. This is where I felt most comfortable. Two guys talking about their own game and making an astute observation.
"You know how I know we're bad golfers? Because the pro guys are able to stand in front of the other guys while they hit. If it were us, someone would die."
As someone who has been hit by a golf ball on a few occasions, death IS imminent with amateur golfers.
In contrast to the weekend warriors, you have the amateur pros. Here's what I am talking about...
"Bro, I have made this putt before. This should be no problem. Up over the hill and aim 6 inches right."
If the pro would have taken his advice, he would have missed it a foot left.
To round it all out, I overheard a young boy talking to his mom and dad after they see a random golfer hit a tee shot.
"Young Boy: Dad, this is so cool! I want to become a pro golfer.
Dad: I want you to become a pro golfer too.
Young Boy: Will you take me golfing tomorrow?
Dad: We have to run that by your mom first.
Young Boy: Mom, can I go golf with dad tomorrow?
Mom: I don't think so. We have a lot to do tomorrow.
Young Boy: How will I become a pro golfer if I don't play?
Mom: Unfortuntaely I have seen your dad golf, and I hope you don't swing a golf club like he does."
Well played mom, well played!
Torrey was fun! Until next year.
