Here's a nothing story.

So I use to be a HS golf coach and also did HS theater, backstage, sound, lighting sets. The kids that helped me had a lot of fun and some of them continued to help me after graduating. One student in particular stayed on for years into his 30's. We became friends, I was best man at his wedding, and one day he asked me if I could teach him how to play golf. I offered many times over 15 years and I guess now he thought it might be fun. Coincidentally my dad gave up the game and I gave Steve his clubs, balls, bag but he still needed a good driver. Golfsmith had a grand opening and I was ready for a new driver and they were offering 50% off. So we bought matching drivers except that he's right handed and I'm left handed. We went to the driving range and practice green and finally the golf course. We were in a foursome and Steve always went last. New player, not so sure of himself and when we get on the 5th hole I said let's break thinks up, Steve you go first. What Steve didn't know was that when he wasn't looking I switched drivers in the bags after he put back his putter on the back of our golf cart. So Steve begins his setup routine like I showed him. he aims, takes his grip, he puts his feet shoulder's width apart, looks down and his club was facing the wrong way. We all kept a straight face while he looked in all directions trying to figure where he went wrong. It took about 30 seconds before he figured it and then we all couldn't stop laughing.
