I played in an open scratch cup last summer and got paired with a guy I had never met. He had all the gear:
Callaway driver and
irons, new electric caddy, new shoes etc, and the most expensive pants and t/shirt. All this and a story of 6 handicap. Being a stroke comp he proceeded to play his first drive ob. He ran ahead of me and magically found the ball. I am not joking he must have done this 5 or 6 times. Also he had a nasty habit of placing the ball on the green a few inches closer than where it had landed. When we finished he had the nerve to ask me to sign for a terrific 79 gross. I told him I could not possibly do this as I felt he didnt adhere to the rules of golf. He had the audacity to ask me did I think he was cheating!! Why do people do this kind of thing?
