Chilly up at The Club this past weekend. 57 degrees. Caught me off guard as I had shorts on. Pro #1 suggested that I should look into buying some compression pants and keep them in my golf bag should we get another cold spell that we are not expecting and the weather dudes are off on the forecast, again. What was initially intended to be a joke turned into quite a serious conversation regarding fashion in general and who would be the first member to show up wearing shorts with compression pants underneath.
Head Pro took things a step further by bringing up LuluLemon. A brilliant observation from the legend himself. You see, the LuluLemon logo is that of a silhouette of what appears to be a woman’s hairline. Who knew? Head Pro did! I didn’t. I thought it was sheep horns or something like that. Things got weird when Pro #3 told me my ensemble looked good so I was out of there as fast as a Transfusion in August to get focused on the round.
Went into the new hitting bay to get the old bod all warmed up when Pro #2 came flying in to show me all of the sweet features on the new simulator. I know a bunch of you are so big time you have these things at your offices but I haven’t seen one of these bad boys before. I still have no idea what all the numbers mean. Pro #2 is talking about swing speed and ball speed and the smash factor. What? Face angles and club direction and ball spin. All this stuff. I’m like Pro #2, my man, I just want to hit a few balls here but his excitement is endearing so I just let him go.
Then he shows me the video recording feature. Because I am just as self-absorbed as all of you, I decide that I have to check out my amazing golf swing for the first time. In my mind, I have always had visions of Freddie Boom Boom or Adam Scott. Holy good gracious GOD! I had no idea I was closer to Charles Barkley. I was devastated. Hey Pro #2, aren’t you a pro golfer and are supposed to help people feel better about their golf game? What the heck? Actually, you are a genius. I will be approaching you soon for lessons.
When I expressed my utter dismay for the horrendous swing I have, Pro #2 tells me Adam Scott won’t even watch his swing. Well if Adam Scott doesn’t want to see his swing, why would I ever want to see my own? This makes no sense at all to me. Yet, while difficult to experience, I do appreciate the strategic approach to your side hustle, Pro #2. Incredibly well thought and executed. I admire that. Well done!
