It happens so often that I just let the "egos" flow.<br /><br />You are very right about the humble long driver though. I played a round of golf in an outing a few years back and was paired with a random golfer. He never said a word about long driving. Well, after a number of holes, I hit a particularly good drive.{for me, I estimated 260 yards} I felt pretty good about it. <br />When I set-up to hit my next shot, I noticed this golfer continuing to walk ahead. So, I stopped to verify my ball, and look for his ball. Well, I keep going quite a ways ahead, and turned to look back to where my ball lay, and couldn't see it anymore. Now, I know this drive of his was over 300yards, and was totally in amazement. <br />Later I commented to this humble driver, "You know, you should enter the long drive contest".<br />To which his only reply was " I did, I came in second!"<br /><br />Thanks for chance to comment, I love the armchair golf blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-14239643966076458522009-12-15T15:29:36.079-05:002009-12-15T15:29:36.079-05:00HA!
