We had a crazy day at the putt-putt place

[sniffa]

So we decide to go putt-putt today and were sadly disappointed to find out that a brazillion people had the same idea. Many of them with small children who were especially bad and a family who decided to play each hole one person at a time, 3 groups ahead of us.

So the group behind us was annoying by hole 2. There was a woman with two males playing in the group behind us. The youngest male who was probably in his teens, but possibly early twenties had no sense of personal space and constantly chased our putts and got really close to us. He was constantly getting so fucking close to us. The other male remained about 2 inches away from us at all times, even while we were putting. We kept moving away from him a few inches at a time and he kept moving closer. I had just assumed that he was also mentally challenged but Bi-Baby had overheard them talking and close-guy was the husband and father. He wasn't challenged but he was an economist according to said overheard conversation.

We were having a great, long, long, long time through 8 holes when we reached a 6 group backup on hole 9. The people still flailing away on the green were the same group fucking up while we were finishing up hole 6. They refused to give up. Fuck it, you had to wait 10-15 minutes for every hole so why not finish each one.

So on hole 9 we wait about 20-30 minutes for this fuck up group to finish. It was a really hard hole and the following groups took a long time to finish but nowhere near as long.

So it's finally our turn and I luckily hit a miracle shot on stroke three and Bi-Baby is failing to get it in the hole. She's on about shot 7 or so (the hole was a side hill so when you miss you miss badly).

The mom starts yelling out to us, "The maximum is 6 shots!!"

Bi-Baby acknowledges her but then goes back to putting. As she's hitting her next putt the woman starts yelling again more obnoxiously that the rules state that you only get 6 shots. "You only get six shots!!! Helooooo!!! Six!!!"

Bi-Baby shoots her a look and picks up her ball. It totally ruined the day. I couldn't even keep score anymore because I was so angry and wanting to stay as far away from the socially awkward family (actually, I wanted to make a huge fucking scene but Bi-Baby wouldn't let me). Here's the scorecard. Hole 17 was the best score. It only took 2 hours to complete the round.

1. I bring my own putter to play putt-putt.

I take putt-putt THAT seriously. I'd have stabbed that "6 shots" lady 6 times.

3. Add another 6 and

you get an interesting number.As in::evilgrin:

[derby378]

4. I used to do that, too

Great minds think alike! :hi:

[sniffa]

5. That was my thought on the course

I told Bi-Baby she should shank her 6 times.

We checked after the incident and there's no rule about 6 shots so she was trying to impose her house rules on us. Fuck her.

She also didn't yell at anyone else for taking 20 putts on that hole before us. Some weren't even trying. :eyes:

2. Some people are truly %@#& idiots.

Hell,it happened to you and I wish I could kick their butts.:(

[sniffa]

6. They were so creepy

Even after the incident and us being upset and loudly mocking them the father continued to rest his chin on our shoulders.

7. I don't think he was even an economist...

The economists I know would never go out in public looking like that. Plus, he "dabbled in Enviro Econ".... = he took a class in it. Probably from Tammy.

D-bag family, to the extreme. Had it been hole 16 or so, I might have had an unfortunate backswing. ;)

[sniffa]

9. Hey, you were the one who told me, "he's not mentally challenged - he's an economist"

Nice fanny pack.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. The wife had the fanny pack!

He was mentally challenged, I'll give you that. More like, completely socially inept. Ugh.

8. Putt-Putt for the fun of it

Bring your date or your brother, or your mate or your mother...because putt-putt makes it fun!

11. Which putt-putt did you go to?

I haven't been yet this year. It's usually a lot of fun but I would have been majorly annoyed with the people you ran into today too. :hi:

12. McGolf in Dedham

Going during the day negates the awful mosquito swarms at night. :hi:

[Kat45]

13. Yeah, I've been to that one.

I think it was a couple of years ago. Went to a restaurant in the area after. Can't remember the name of it right now.

14. The sport of kings...

...or for anyone not intimidated by windmills and dinosaurs. :thumbsup:

Tiger is a wuss.
