My Problem On The Golf Course Is Not Driving The Ball, It's Driving The Cart.

Jeez. I seem to be having a serious Driving The Golf Cart problem lately.

Last week at a golf tournament, I accidentally ran into poor ol' Billy A. as he was waiting to take a swing at his ball. I tried to stop--honestly I did--but the cart slid and hit him pretty hard right in the back of his ankle. Ouch. He, uh, didn't take it so well. He yelled "Fuck!" and then broke his 3-wood in half by slamming it across the cart--and the broken club's head almost nailed Barney (it actually grazed his nose). Oops. Sorry Billy. Really. I'm sorry.

(This came a couple of holes after I stopped short and almost ejected all 280 pounds of poor ol' Barney through the front windshield, which went flying--see the picture to the right)

And two weeks ago at another golf tournament, I took a turn way too fast and then dumbass me mistook the gas pedal for the break pedal and we hit a big oak tree dead on at almost full speed. Beers, cell phones, golf balls, and poor ol' John F. went flying every which way. Oops. Sorry John. Really. I'm sorry. Fortunately, Johnny wasn't hurt and we all fell out laughing, but I could have killed him--or me. Or totaled the cart.

So I'm starting to think that I shouldn't be allowed to drive the golf cart ever again. Maybe a lifetime suspension is in order.

Or, alternately, maybe I shouldn't drink 10 beers before the 14th hole.
