Yesterday I got my first Pole-ie. It was a pitching wedge on a short par 4 from a side hill lie. I am working on my swinging stroke and although I could not see the putting surface the top 2/3s of the flag was my target. I thought the shot looked like it would be close to the pin in the air then it clanked off of it just below the bottom of the flag. What a thrill.
Congrats, paspilot!
Yesterday, the Motion.
Today, the Polie.
Tomorrow, in competition . . .
The Cash.
Only now do I realize a serious oversight in the LBG training regimen: We must learn how to gracefully accept the rewards of our winning efforts from our opponent(s)!
It is basically a right palm-up procedure . . .
But, there are nagging questions. For example:
1. Do you look'em in the eye (especially when theirs are looking down)? I say, do your best, but maintain your spine angle and upward palm. This may require right arm extension (6-B-1-0).
2. Do you commiserate? As in, "Had it not been for me crushing your anemic a** (efforts ), you might have won!" (Probably not a good idea to put it quite this way, especially if they are much larger and have anger management issues).
3. Do you 'make change'? Naah, just tell'em to write a check that you'll frame for your office. They'll soon disappear into the pro shop and return with the appropriate sum.
In the end, the exchange is a matter of taste. Use your best judgment. But remember . . .
Plenty of these 'sly willies' will never pony up on their own. They are all so well-meaning but, at the same time, so predictable. In fact, they sing from the same hymnal . . .
"My wallet's in my car. Catch you next time."
"Don't have any cash on me. Catch you next time."
"Didn't bring my checkbook. Catch you next time."
So, be ready, armed and vigilant. In your own, unique way, let'em know . . .
