TGIF! Just realized it’s Friday the 13th. Have I just improved my social circles or is this date no longer talked about as a bad omen? Discuss amongst yourselves.
Survival – Personal Edition
With summer ending and fall starting, the temperatures are dropping. And that change harkens the end of the golfing season in some parts of the country. As a result, you are much more likely to encounter an angry golfer on the course, exasperated by their own bad play as usual, and alcohol as usual, but further irate that it might be their last round of the year. Let’s go over some tips to deal with this golfer and avoid injury.
- Assess the danger level. If you can, just ignore the situation and leave.
- If you must confront the golfer, first try talking to them. Speak calmly, with a low voice and even tone. Avoid sudden movements or gestures. Remind the them this is just a game, and a game is supposed to be enjoyed. Also remind them to take a few deep breaths and think over why they’re mad.
- If talking has the opposite effect of further enraging the golfer, they now have a club in hand and is waving it about. You may have to act quickly to restore order and avoid injury to yourself.
- Be prepared if the golfer attempts to swing their club at you. When they pull the club back, move quickly towards the center of the club and near their body. The club head can cause the most damage, while the club shaft is quite flexible.
- Now that you’re in range, grab the club. Grab the club as close to the grip as possible. Pull down on the club, staying near the golfer, until you can wrap your arm over the club. You want to be pinching the club in your armpit while keeping a hold of the club with your hand.
- Wrench the club away. At this point you have the leverage on the club, so turn your body away from the golfer to break their grip on the club. Make sure to use just enough force to do this, as you don’t want to fall down.
- As after getting the club free, step back and away from the golfer. Also position yourself so that they can’t re-arm themselves with another club.
- Call for help. People will be more willing to help you once the golfer is no longer wielding a club.
- Keep calmly talking to the golfer to get them to calm down.
Once resolved, head straight to the 19th hold and reward yourself at the bar. You did a good thing and didn’t get hurt!
