<\/p>\nAs a subpar golfer who works at Golf Digest with former college athletes, long hitters and gear obsessives, it sometimes gets a bit stressful teeing off with coworkers. Obviously, it\u2019s all for fun and no one (hopefully) is too competitive, but my ultimate goal is always to not embarrass myself and keep the round moving. The worst thing I can do is grind everything to a halt and shoot an extra 30-40 shots \u2026 which is precisely what happened to this unfortunate Redditor who supposedly(?) still has a job.<\/p>\n
The post\u2019s title is bone-chilling:\u00a015hc shot a 120 in front of my boss who shot a 65. AMA [Ask Me Anything].\u00a0And it doesn\u2019t get any better from there. This may not be NSFW for everybody, but it certainly is for yours truly.<\/p>\n

\u201cTitle says it all,\u201d writes r\/golf poster Surf_skate_ski. (Their name notably doesn\u2019t have the word golf.) \u201cAfter a summer of shooting low 90\u2019s high 80\u2019s very consistently I finally convinced my ex pro boss to take me out to the private club. Proceeded to shit bricks and didn\u2019t make one par the whole round. AMA.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just the 120 and the terrifyingly awkward poor play, but to do that all right next to a 65? That makes it so much worse. The score was very nearly doubled!<\/p>\n
The first question (and answer) says it all: \u201cAre you going to quit golf forever and how long will you quit forever for?\u201d To which OP responds, \u201cIf I still have a job come tomorrow, I\u2019ll quit until next time. If I don\u2019t, I\u2019ll still quit until next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

It gets even worse when you find out there\u2019s a bit of fibbing involved. Don\u2019t lie about your golf game if you\u2019re going to eventually play some golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best part is three years ago when I interviewed for the position I had never golfed in my life,\u201d this daredevil writes. \u201cHe asked me what my handicap was and I lied and said \u2018couple over par.\u2019 Kept that lie going until today and had to eat my words.<\/p>\n
\u201cI lied during the interview because I\u2019d never golfed in my life and didn\u2019t understand how stupid what I said was.\u201d<\/p>\n
In classic golf-sicko fashion, Surf_skate_ski went on to blame everything but himself, \u201cHonestly I think it was the course. It was really tight and the bunkers were ferocious. I just got put in my place from playing the local municipal to a challenging course with fast greens.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tossing the blame onto the course during a low moment? Not accepting any fault? Maybe this individual is a true golfer after all.<\/p>\n
