Golf and drunks dont mix

The sad thing is the guy is a serious stick when he's sober. By the time we were at the 13th hole the poor bastage was drunk off his ass. All most got into a fight with his cart mate, then just stopped playing and started looking for the beer girl. Sorry for the rant but people should go to bars to get drunk, not the golf course.

I'm a 2 handicap and play a lot of golf sometimes sober but mostly with a beer and a cigar. We play golf by one rule "if you can't play drunk don't play". I usually play every Friday afternoon and start with a six pack sometimes that lasts all round, sometimes I'll switch to mixed drinks, sometimes I need another six pack. Our group (12-20 people) has it's own cart girl and they fight to be "our girl" because we have the most fun and tip well. We have never had anyone get too out of hand and never damage the course. We have a sober golfer for rides home (winner of the most money picks next weeks "winner") or My wife joins me for dinner and drives me home.

It sounds like you we paired with someone who doesn't resept the game or himself.

If you or anyone is ever in Mid-Missouri lmk and golf and cigars are on me (drinks also if you indulge).

Too ironic....last time I golfed my co-worker and I drank a beer a hole (this was a work sponsored outing). I flipped the cart on the 16th hole and it landed on top of both of us, and it took several co-workers to get it off of us.

That was indeed the last time I ever golfed....it was in 1988.

I have continued to drink, however.

As long as you have a driver to take the drunks home I see nothing wrong with this. 18 shots in a bottle of scotch, 18 holes on a golf course. My friends and I will get together during the summer and there is nothing better to me on a nice summer day then drinking beer with friends, smoking cigars and playing golf. I have played and been the drunk on the course. Respecting the game, the course and drinking can all take place at the same time. Sorry you had a bad time with it, some guys just cant handle their alcohol.
