A little boy grew up in the shadow of a country club. Majority of the junior players played on the prestine fairways and envious practice facility at the club while the boy played at the local muni with its make-shift practice grounds. The little boy was content of what he had and worked hard on his game to a point where he was able to beat most of the "counrty club boys" in local junior events. Most of them with the exception of "him". "Him" was a good player who would always have the ability to be 1 up on the little boy. Wether it be at the junior tournaments, driving distance, expensive golf wear, and latest golf equipment. Being 1 up was not the main problem, unfortunately his good play did not match his attitude towards competitors and much less for non club players. The phrase "yah, I'm bad" was his motto/phrase whenever he 1 upped you. Well the little boy grew up and made a good life for himself and his family. "Him" relatively stayed the same with the club membership, expensive clothes, and all of the latest golf equipment. The little boy and "him" relationship have developed to be cordial but "him" would always remind him of the hay-days where we would always come out on top. One day the little boy over heard that "him" ordered the new Syner-G shoes at his local club. Unfortunately, due to our area, the club will not be receiving the shoes until the end of January/beginning of February. "Him" was not happy but was content on the idea that no one else in our area will be getting the shoes as well. One day the little boy walked in at the country club wearing the new Syner-G shoes that he won through GOLFWRX. He walks up to "him" in the clubhouse and at the top of his lungs he would shout "YAH, THAT'S RIGHT I'M BAD!!!!!" Count that 1 up for the little boy who grew up in the shadow of a country club.....

I wish I could get back the 5 seconds I just wasted reading that....

Yuh. Here's a tip - when you write something, have a point.

I didn't think the story was that bad. Not really heart warming; but not a total waste either. The question is, how does the "little boy" like the shoes?

I don't know if I should cry or laugh..

I think the little boy meant to post this in the GolfWRX Synr-G sweepstakes thread.

"Him" already did and put the little boy 1 down!

You are Bad!

So I'm supposed to believe that being the first to get a pair of shoes makes up for years of losing to "him"? Sorry, but he still owns you.

you wore golf shoes in the clubhouse?

Dunno, it just seems to me that by resorting to him's level that you aren't any better than him.

Um, is there a point to that story?????
and when I keep hearing the reference to him I cant help but think of this

Of course. It's a "where in US do people still say, YAH", quiz. I'm guessing Boston.

That would be, "Yah, Yah I'm wicked Bad! These shoes are pissa! Go Sawks!"

Worst thing I have ever read!

where was the point in that?
maybe try posting this in the 19th hole, it has nothing to do with golf besides the fact the hole story happened in a golfing scenario.

Tough crowd lol

He still is about 100 up on you. So the score is 100 to 1

I think I may be a little bit dumber after reading this....

this was an unfortunate thread

I missed the entry deadline for the Footjoy SYNR-G giveaway, too.

It's more imaginative than the "I bought Footjoys all my life...." entries, imo.

I'm assuming these are fictional characters Sounds like the little boy would act just like "him" if the little boy had a privelidged upbringing...

The game of 1 uping each other is highly overrated.

fail

EPIC FAIL

You took schadenfreude to a new low.

def - pleasure taken from observing the misery of another.

lol
pretty sure 'him' will get over it and remain 100 up on the little boy

What color were the shoes?

I hope Santa brings you those shoes Hapa. You deserve em for the bashing you are taking. It is pretty funny though.
