A story with the type of funny I enjoy.
Like usual I'm playing a solo round at my home course which happens to be perfectly suited to my current level of play. Lots of 300-350 foot hyzers with accuracy shots thrown in. As I waited for the group ahead on hole 2 (
The Valley,Mn) a couple catches up and asks if they can join me. I love pickup stuff so off we go! After a hole or two and some small talk the guy starts bragging. Not normal small talk bragging, actual I'm the best in the region bragging. I'm a pretty average player for my age among the tourney crowd but I've seen guys that can play at the level he is bragging up to.
He mentions distance. Now that year I was reaching out to 400' but on a normal day 370' with accuracy. We are on
hole 5 and he shanks it into the woods. My drive goes straight and it makes for an easy 3 for me, he takes a 4. This starts a trend. The next two holes are the same. I drive well and he overthrows. His bragging turns into the Minnesota has so many tunnel shots, if this was more open I could unleash my 550' of distance. I kept my mouth shut, choosing not to goad him on. In Minnesota we do have a lot of tunnel shots and this course has a few, but not many. Now
hole 8 is a very long hole. He is pretty angry at this point but when he sees that he can finally unleash he got very excited. There are 2 trees to avoid but after that it is very open. Since I had the box I took out a Saint and just threw an easy throw to get past the initial trees plus a little. Yeah, I was setting him up.
He reaches down, says something about this disc being his favorite distance Destroyer and proceeds to absolutely rip it...into the first tree. Immediately his face went beet red and he became visibly angry. He reached into his bag, mumbled something about a warm up and absolutely rips another..into the second tree. He started shaking at this point. Trying to be nice, I reached into my bag, opened a beer, took a sip and asked him if he would like to throw another. He quickly replied, "ABSOLUTLEY". He proceeded to reproduce his first throw almost perfectly. Not wanting to waste any more time I started walking. As we arrived at his discs he quickly picked them all up and walked off the course without even a see ya. I was chuckling for the rest of the round.
