Everybody has a golf buddy that blows a good shot out of proportion and tries to turn it into one of the fishing tales, where the fish gets even bigger and bigger as they tell it.
We had a guy we used to play with that swore everytime he drove the ball it would go 300 yards, but we'd always find it about 225-240. He never believed us he couldn't hit it as far as he could, and when we'd talk to people about our rounds he'd sure enough start saying he drove it around 300 all day. What other great stories are out there? |

I had another guy I played with a few times that was the same way. He was a friend of one of the guys I frequently golf with and he came along a few times, shanks every where, hit 75% of his irons fat, at the end of every round, I can't believe I shot over 100 I always shoot low 90s high 80s. Took after his dad who said the same things and played the same way every time he came with us too.

I have a buddy that takes his Fishing pole with him sometimes when he plays golf. He was playing golf south of Dallas at Lancaster Country View Golf Course, stopped in the Fairway on number 4, a par 5 to fish for a few minutes, and caught an 8lb Bass out of the pound on that hole! The dude is a great low handicap golfer, and I am sure he broke 80 that day. Pretty cool story, played golf, and caught a nice Bass on the same afternoon!

Not much of a story, but I played with a guy who shot 120 who 'usually shoots in the mid 80's'. Just nodded my head and bit my tongue... I have a buddy who always says "his driver has lost its pop". He says he used to knock it out there about 290, but now only hits it about 220-230. |

One guys I know is always hitting these great shots etc, but as yet I have never seen one on the course.
But the main thing is, when talking about distances he insists that he knows he can hit his hybrid 194 yards and his 5 iron 185 yards and so on. Problem is he normally duffs it! He has also just bought a top of the range GPS system because he is so accurate with his distances. He works out to the inch how far it is to the green and will then top it straight into the lake! |

The most interesting person I was ever paired with was the guy who shot an "87" but took about 8 mulligans total on the day. He also hit horrible slices into the woods on almost every hole and somehow magically evertime the ball ended up in the rough just off the fairway. He told me he usually shoots in the low 80s...

Man, I have golfed with almost every one of the guys mentioned in this thread...
![]() Best one was a nephew of this guy who came along for his birthday. His round started with 2 tee shots out of bounds, then about 4 duffs that went no where, ping pong over the green a few times, and a 4 putt...for a "bogey"......he did that every hole, and would just say "I had a 5"..... ![]() |

I shot a Hundy+ with JB, and I usually shoot in the 80's and high 70s on good days. A guy who used to play at my home course was obsessed with distance and spinning the short irons. Told us one day that he hit a shot so hard he could actually 'hear it spinning' as it flew and hit the green. Some hearing. |

I know a guy who literally has a 'fishing' story. He says some time in the 70's he drove the ball and hit it straight into the water killing a cod which he took home and ate. I reckon it's just a story he tells but he swears it happened. Would have been pretty funny to see if it actually happened. |

I'm sure many of us know the guy that always says "you should have been here with me yesterday!" Ya....right. When I started playing as a kid in the early 70's I remember telling my brother he needed to play with me because "I was getting really good". Of course I shot something like 110 when I played with him. His advice to me then was "to let others brag about MY game". Great advice.
