The last time my father hit me was on a golf course.
I was 30 and he was 64.
I was on a golf course doing what I do on a golf course – losing my collective shit because golf is the stupidest motherfucking game in the whole goddamn world. This includes curling, because in curling you just might see some Canadian milf wearing tight pants
So I hooked, sliced, whatever – let’s say fucked up a shot – and I said, “Fuck this shit. I’m going to the clubhouse and getting black out drunk.” And my father, who wanted golf to be a bonding thing for us, said, “Get back in the cart.”
And I said, “No fucking way.”
And then he punched me in the arm. He is a lefty and has a hell of a punch. I pretended it didn’t hurt. At this point, my two uncles rode up in the cart, they are my mother’s brothers who my father helped raise, and saw what was going on.
Tony, the younger one, said, “Um, I think you guys need to ride in different carts.”
My father said, “Fine, he can get out of this cart and walk, because in another minute I’m going to kick his ass.”
So now you know one of the many reasons why golf is a fucking absolute waste of time. Like Carlin said, “It’s the only sport where a white man can dress like a pimp.”
First, this is an expensive sport and it’s like you’re buying torture instruments. Carbon wrapped bullshit, big headed drivers, golf balls that go further (absolute horsheshit) – what a waste of money. Tiger Woods could play with a 50 year old set of clubs and mangle any course in the world – well, if he had a spare porn star or two stuffed in his bag.
Golf courses are huge wastes of land. I’d rather use them for motorcycle races or paintball matches. Hell, this would solve a huge problem here in Baltimore; maniacs who normally ride motorcycles on city streets, killing and injuring pedestrians, could take to the golf courses. Hopefully killing themselves in the process because they are fucking assholes.
This “sport” is played by snobs who belong to country clubs, which are bastions of egalitarianism, racism, and all around assholeishness. My sister’s wedding was held at a country club and we obliterated the color and race barrier – that place was packed with people who normally were the ones waiting tables, mowing the lawns, and putting up with tight ass WASPs with severe overbites. We fucking rocked the fuck out of that place. I barfed on the putting green.
And watching golf on television could be almost as bad as getting your anus bleached at one of those cut rate anus bleaching salons, instead of a fully licensed and approved anus bleaching salon. Seriously, my neighbor watches golf all the time, and when I stop by, I can only hope someone in the crowd gets drilled by an errant shot.
Putting up with people who play golf can be taxing. Do you have a buddy who practices his swing as he stands there talking? Or his putting stance? Look dude, fuck you. Okay? You suck shit at golf, and your actions are irritating as fucking shit. I want to shove a broken putter all the way down your throat so that it comes out right above your spine.
However, the Golf Channel is the one thing I will acquiesce to because it provides very calming background noise. Also, they had some kind of reality show that was hilarious, because watching Type A personalities fuck shit up and then melt down is pure gold. Also, some of the babes on that show had rocking bodies and tits that would not quit.
Finally, when I was 13 I received a give away calendar featuring Jan Stephenson in a bunch of cheesecake poses. I wore that fucking thing OUT.
So, that’s it. Golf is a suckshit sport that I don’t care about. Unfortunately some of the people in my circle – it’s a small circle – of friends are interested in it. They know enough to not mention it around me because they don’t want to get cracked on the head with an empty bourbon bottle.
Good luck out there, you buncha dicksmacks.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
Positive Shit That I Saw
At the annual neighborhood crab feast, I complained about the old people who live in the neighborhood. I did it quite loudly, in the early stages of bourble, and those septuagenarian fucks got all irritated.
Golf is stupid, but it provides wonderful pictures for those of us with a case of yellow fever.
Or archers.

And my town did go nuts during the mens and womens competition during the Beijing games.
But, “Golf, is a good walk spoiled.”
Tru golf story – In grad school, I lived in an apartment complex that had its own 9 hole pitch an putt. Several old mfers ruled over the place like it was their own goddam PGA sanctioned course. Bitchin about us yunguns doing this, doing that, not respecting the game, etc etc.
One day I’m at the 9th hole and these mfers are all sitting at a table by the snack bar overlooking the hole. My Tee shot ends up in a sand trap just below and to the left of the two-tiered green. The hole placement at the time was in the middle of the green at the bottom of the steep slope that divided the two tiers.
The old birds were watching me intently as I wedged outta the sand. The ball landed on the front edge of the top tier, right of the hole and stopped there. I approached, already focusing on the difficult putt ahead. As I stood practicing the putt, I see outta the corner of my eye, someone barreling toward me. One of the old mfers gets in my face and screams “YOU DIDN’T RAKE THE SAND!! IT AGAINST PROTOCOL TO NOT RAKE THE SAND!!” Loud enough for his table full of buddies to hear. I reciprocated – “IT’s AGAINST PROTOCOL TO WALK ON THE GREEN AND INTERRUPT SOMEONE TRYING TO PUTT!! I”LL RAKE THE GODDAM SAND WHEN I’M DONE!!” He strutted away, fuming.
I collected myself, focused, and drained the fucking putt. Haven’t had a better putt since and that was years ago. Then I calmly raked the sand and took the empty seat at their table. The silence was deafening.
You should have shit in the sand.
You should have shit on his shoes. Fucking old people.
YEAH, stupid old peo…. WAIT! FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!
CART FIGHT!
http://www.aimlessdirection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/golf-cart-about-to-crash.jpg
The thing that pisses me off the most is that courses use UUUUUUGE amounts of fresh water….. in the fucking desert…… and no one seems to call them out on it and in several areas they are exempt from restrictions that others have to live by. Play in the dirt you fucking assholes.
An acquaintance of mine caddied for Michael Jordan and he said he was good to the help and caddies, tipped well, etc. but he was an ultra competitive betting son of a bitch on the course.
This information will not affect anyone’s position on this issue, only reinforce it with another rationalization.

I hear that competitiveness + his drinking make him an easy mark for golf hustlers.
He didn’t mention that, but he did say when he did lose that it was no longer fun. He said he kept it to himself but you could see him seething and plotting.
I have to say I enjoy the 4 hours with no bitching, smoking, drinking and walking around in nature. Leave your phone in the car and just hang out with friends and get a bit tipsy in the sun. I don’t take it seriously as this is something my step father taught me and he is just an awful golfer. “Enjoy the day out, because at some point a dr in a white coat will say you cant eat that, you can’t drink that, quit smoking anything and trust me it is a shitty day” Words to live by so he goes out and enjoys his “cheat” days.
Thing is, without golf these people would be out on the road looking for something to do and then brag about it.

Fuck golf. And fuck all the self-obsessed jackasses who play it and are convinced they could all be PGA tour pros with juuuuust a little more practice.

I fucking love this feature.
My first day of stay-home-daddying, I flipped over to the Golf Channel. I’d just joined a Fantasy Golf league (fantasy football methadone), and didn’t know a thing about the PGA. Holly Sonders greeted us:

My 3-month old son immediately stopped crying and started pogo-ing up and down in his bouncy seat. I put the remote down.
I think I am OK with this part of golf, kind of like weather reporting in other countries.

I disagree. Golf is awesome. And I suck at golf.
Golf is an excuse to chill outside for 4 hours at a time and some times even skip work! Golf courses are amazing and are actually like little nature preserves. You can hit 100 bad golf shots, but one good shot can save your bacon. Playing golf is a good time to have a drink, smoke a cigar, talk to your human friends at a face to face level, and compete with yourself. Watching golf on a Sunday afternoon is the best, and it plays right into prime nap time. Golf is pure, unadulterated humble pie shot intravenously into any man, woman, or child, but it can be a good humble pie. I’ll sidestep your opinion of country clubs, but I agree it is fun to get blasted at them. You get to dress like a pimp! Golf carts are fun to drive! You can pretend your Ty Webb at whatever club you join!
Try to relax man.
Your rant and gif choice have sold me on golf again

I played nine holes at our local club just last week. First time in a year. There were eight of us, including two kids who’d never played. We were moving like a glacier. The threesome behind us, instead of just asking to play through, or firing a couple of shots at us, (which would have gotten them killed, but I would have respected it), called the marshal. The marshal, who is a kid that three of the guys, including me, coached in Little League and who is friends with all of our kids, (and who later came out and played the last three holes with us), rides up and tells us we have to split the group.
Well, we’re not splitting the group because if we do one group is going to have all the beer and the other will die like Scott’s men on the way back from the South Pole. So we wave the group behind us in and sit at the next tee drinking while they come up and get ready to tee off. Just as one of them steps up to hit I get a text, and my phone goes off.
Oh, my text signal?
“HEY THERE I’M MR. MESEEK!”

You and your positive attitude and great experiences on the golf course can go die in a dumpster fire behind a medical waste facility.
Sorry, that was a feeble attempt on my part to chill out.
How is there no animated gif of this scene online?

My wife is in for a long night.
I hate it when my balls get hung up in the water intake of the hot tub.

Curling is actually a good sport for having your parents play. Every arena has a full functioning bar with food and drinks if you are stuck there every Tuesday night. Again, I will drink too much now but as a kid it was always just soda
You can drink too much soda as a kid.
You can drink too much soda as a kid.
Curling is awesome, and Curling Night in America is my go-to for Friday Night entertainment between dinner and settling in for the movie that my wife will fall asleep during.
I quit golfing about 10 years ago. I was going through my routine on the driving range where I hit three balls in a row the way I wanted to and then move up a club. I got to my driver with about shit-ton of balls left because I had swing discipline with my 3-wood on down. But with my driver I couldn’t help but add a little something extra on my down swing. That little something extra was a massive slice, like boomerang level slice.
I ran through levels of grief from “I got this” to “Please, just hook one. It doesn’t even have to go straight.” I got down to my last three balls and told myself for the trillionth time, don’t swing hard, let the club do the work. I sliced all three into the woods, and lost my shit. I don’t lose my shit.
I threw my driver. I picked up my bag by the strap and threw THAT olympic hammer style and screamed FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCK!!!!! Then I chased my bag down and started beating the shit out of it like Michael Bolton in Office Space. I thought I was alone on the range because it was about this time of year around noon in Jacksonville, FL. Only stupid people are outside in this weather. I wasn’t. There was an old lady on the range watching me murder my golf bag.
I decided golf wasn’t for me.
“I hope you murdered her too. Leave no witnesses.”

As a proud topshelf douchebag myself, I cannot disagree.
Golf sucks.
As an actual top shelf douchebag you are more of a bottom of the bookcase filled with Goosebumps books from when you were 12 douchebag.
(Why do I always make fun of myself so hard every time to make a joke)
Does Trump play exclusively with a “3 wood”?

Or you could be like tWBS and regret not bringing your set of clubs to a DFO get together and stare longingly and wistfully at the greens…
/golf is for twats
//just jealous because her golf experience has been abysmal
And just when I went ahead and committed to being nicer to you? You suck so hard.
At least I didn’t moon the entirety of the 16th fairway from the deck.
/no idea if it was the 16th
//sounded better with a number
Wait, did a tWBS commitment of niceties make it to a whole 5 minutes! That may be a new record for you!
And… just to keep my name clear… I didn’t moon a damn thing!
You may not have intended to, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t. Shall I repost the photo? Publicly this time?
smgdh
Photo of actual event….
You have NEIGHBORHOOD crabfest? I have to get mine at Red Lobster!
Counterpoint: I banged the drink cart girl one time. It was and remains the greatest night of my life.
On the cart?
Just curious, because that would have counted as……….. a hole-in-one.

Dual purpose putter. I like it.
A cart girl gave you crabs? They make a shampoo for that … or so I’ve heard.
He got to keep the little comb.
After a round of golf, or did she just happen to be a cart girl?
I’m guessing she was the à la carte girl?
/sorry
