Years ago one of my neighbors that never played on the championship courses asked me to take their son golfing when he visited. I said sure, it will be fun. He had clubs and described himself as a weekend golfer and off we went.
We went over to Tierra and he rode in my cart. Number 5 is a par 3 about 160-170 yards if I recall. Well he hozzles one towards the OB on the right about half way to green. He grabs a couple of clubs and putter and starts to walk from the tee box to find it. he did not hit a provisional, so I assumed he would just drop one if OB. We had no match, he can do whatever we wishes, although I could not have imagined what his wish would be!
I drive up to the green and as I get out of my cart and look back to see if he found it he had just hit from someone's yard
I was shocked and embarrassed and although I straightened him out it was too late. As a favor I take him every year, but he is now on a very short leash.
