Had my own bizarre experience on the course today. Standing on the first tee, 4 ball ahead about 200 yards, all standing in the middle of the fairway. Couple of old guys behind were already standing waiting for their tee time (still 15 mins away) but clearly desperate to go, says “that’ll be you now to hit” to me. I laughed a bit, thinking he was joking, but turned out he was serious and was telling me to go. Said that I’d be firing one over their heads so I absolutely wouldn’t be going, started to debate it with me and saying you’d “have to be a big hitter to get near them”. 200 yards away!
Just had to awkwardly tell him again I wouldn’t be going until they were clear, and then hit my drive to just passed where they were standing. Old guy “aye you’ll want to be drawing the ball in from there”. No mention of the fact he’d wanted me to kill these guys, and giving me swing tips when he’s about to hit a half swing drive 140. Arsehole behaviour.
