A couple of months ago I was walking back from the postal center along a street that borders a green. A golfer hooked his approach shot and it went out of bounds, across the cart path and into the road, bouncing right at me (I was on the far side of the road from the green). I caught the ball and just as I started to toss it back across the street onto the grass between the street and the cart path ... Captain Hook yells at me that I "should have let it go so he could play it from there"

I looked at him in amazement and then as I fired his ball down the street I said ... "play it from there, that is where it was headed!" and gave him the single digit salute. His ball was last seen bouncing toward BVB.

I am pretty sure that Captain Hooks real name was ...... Richard.
I am not a golfer, so please forgive my ignorance. But could you tell me what that means?
