So that I wouldn't repeat yesterday's debacle trying to find someplace dry to practice, I made a few phone calls again to find out who's open around here and who isn't. All the nearby ranges were closed, so I drove about 20 minutes to one of the golf courses that we play regularly b/c I knew they have mats and also a decent short game area and a good putting green.
So I get there, buy my range balls and head towards the short game green. I hit about 3-4 shots, and some lady comes up to me all pissed off and says, "Sir....I was just driving by here on Jackman Rd., and a golf ball hit my car.
You're hitting towards Jackman Rd, and I think YOU hit my car!!!" I explained to her that I just got there and hadn't been hitting for more than 5 minutes, and she says, "Well, my car was just hit 2-3 minutes ago, and you're the only one hitting towards the road!!" About that time, another golfer overhears all this, comes up, and says, "Ma'am, I've watched him hit FOUR shots.....see those four balls on the green...? They're all his....he didn't hit any out in the street!" So, she shut up, but I watched her walk over to the pro shop and go in.....probably to complain to somebody else. Naturally, I thanked the guy for coming over, and he smiled and said, "That bitch was determined to blame somebody, that's all!!" A few minutes later she came storming out of the pro shop, hopped in her car and sped out of the parking lot, probably still pissed.....!!!!
And all I wanted to do was get in a little practice, LOL!!!
