Baby on a golf cart? (1 Viewer)

thank you for calling rolling meadows pro shop, how may i help you?

id like to get a tee time please.

sure, have you ever played here before?

No, it's my first time golfing actually, but I've been locked inside with my wife all winter, so...

... You can't wait to get away from her? ha, trust me, you're not the only one.

No, I'll be bringing her.

Oh, that's great. she's a big golfer then?

Nope, her first time too.

wow. Ok. Good for you. Lots of couples try golfing together. Will you have a foursome?

a threesome, I guess. Just me, her, and my son.

Oh wow. How old is he?

Eight months.

Wow. Don't you think that'll cramp your style a bit?

Oh don't worry. I'll still have plenty of long breaks to get away from it all. I plan to go mountain biking, skiing, hit up the gym pretty often - really I'm just looking to add a new and very time consuming hobby without giving up any time with my wife or missing out on any diaper changes.

Jesus. Are you guys independently wealthy or something?

No, that's why were bringing the kid. We don't want to spend a lot of money on a baby sitter so we plan to start a nice cheap hobby like golf and just bring our infant child to hours of sun exposure on a mechanized vehicle that feels like it's going to top over at any time and has no does or windows to protect him from the hundreds of high speed projectiles launching around the course.

first kid?

yes, how could you tell?
:lmao:

holy ####

 
Maybe you should try baby on the driving range. Sounds like you and your wife both suck anyway, and should hit the range about 100 times before stepping foot on a course.

Maybe then the better level of play and faster pace will make it more tolerable for others when the baby goo goos in a back swing

 
So the babyis riding on the wife's lap? Does that mean you two are handing the kid back and fourth between shots? Sounds like a brilliant plan.

 
This seems like a great idea!

One tip: the greens are the best place for diaper changes. The babies love that short, manicured grass.

 
Horrible person? No

But it will annoy everyone on the course.

As long as it didnt slow me up somehow, i personally dont mind though. but i know 99% of golfers would be annoyed
99% of golfers get annoyed by everything (GG123 excluded, of course).

I think it's funny when people get distracted in the backswings. Bird, someone yelling, car horn, whatever.

But yep, at least 99%. And yep, GG123 excluded. Tunnel vision.

Baseball players have to worry about hitting 100 mph fastballs with tonsof crowd noise.But golfers hitting a stationary ball? I DEMAND ABSOLUTE QUIET!!!!

I used to think this way too back when I played a ton of baseball and very little to no golf. Then I started playing golf a lot. And it's really damn hard to hot that little ball the direction and distance you intend. And that's without some ####### making noise in the background.

Also, it's not the noise per se that distracts. Frankly constant cheering would be okay. It's the unanticipated loud noise during the swing that gets you.

now imagine the baseball player has to land the ball in a jug somewhere in the middle of the outfield and has to play his foul balls. Their comparisons are laughable.

I've reread this 4x and it's still absolutely hilarious!

 
I don't see the big deal if the baby is with your wife. If I saw it I wouldn't think it strange at all.

Sometimes I go out with buddies to golf, drink, and talk shop. Sometimes I go with my kids to teach them, let them drive the cart, watch them chase wild turkeys, etc. Obviously two completely different mindsets. If I felt uncomfortable with the latter I wouldn't get to golf nearly as much nor would I get the enjoyment of spending that time with my family.

Being able to involve family with a hobby has a lot of benefits.

Edit: Obviously don't pair with people that would be bothered by having a baby around. When I take my kids it's at twilight, usually with my brother. I have actually found that most singles that join enjoy having the kids around. My 7-year old likes to clean clubs and fill in divots. A lot of people get a kick out of it.
