Frozen!


Sluggo42

Recommended Posts

So yesterday I'm waiting for the twosome in front to go.

I see the guy set up and take his pose, the he basically freezes.

 

I mean it seemed like forever. I'm thinking...”swing”!

Go on, “swing”!

 

Come on now, swing you blithering idiot! SWING!

 

Then he finally swings and hits another duff...

It had to have been 20-30 seconds. I mean my back would have given out by then. What can one possibly think about when set up for so long?

​I played with Frozen Guy two weeks ago. He was a BIL of a friend of mine who doesn't play often. I swear I could have eaten a sandwich during the time this guy stood over the ball. Like to wore me out. LOL

This reminds me of the story of the guy that was "frozen" over a tee shot.   His bud said: come on man, hit the ball will ya.  The guy replied: my wife is standing up there on the hill, so I want this to be a good shot.   To which is bud retorted:  really man, no way are you going to hit her from here.

We play with a couple occasionally and the guy freezes.  His wife is just the opposite.  He freezes because he has been taking lessons all year has has struggled.  I'm sure he is going through every swing thought the pro told all year long.  I feel for him.

I am really quick from setup to swing. I take maybe 4 seconds from setup to bending over to pick up the tee. I only freeze if I am pulling a blank on my swing thoughts. (I know, what a moron). Anyway if I do that, I will back off, figure out my swing thoughts, and then reset and hit quickly.

 

I forget who but there was a pro who always talked about "your waggle". He said that you always need to be moving, when you are over the ball. I have a little hover with my clubs before I swing, that is my waggle. He always said that if you stand perfectly still, you muscles would tighten and you would lose all fluidity in your swing.

So today this group in front of us (it was soooo slow today) anyways had a senior citizen old dude. Like 80's.

This old guy would basically drive his cart one foot from the green to get there, but I was ok with that, kinda...

 

But anyways, this old guy would hit last after his 3 sons would hit from the whites, then he would move up to the shortest tee.

 

But he had this setup move, it was the right foot stomp. He'd just drop a ball, work his way closer and closer, then starts to,Ping his right foot.

I counted 22 stomps one time. We were dying.

 

Then the old coot would rip one right down the middle!

Funny as all get out. I'm sure he beat the others in their group because they were hurting.

But the old guy was killin us. We actually applauded a few times when he smoked another shot, it was great

I'm glad he qualified as the guy being in his 80's. Too many of us younger old coots around MGS.

In college we played a two day event at the Concord in the Catskills in NY. There are two courses there and the tournament course is famously named the Monster. Google it, it was a real treat.

 

We're paired in threesomes and I knew one of the guys from prior events. The third was the slowest GD golfer I'd seen in competitive golf. Awful.

 

His tee and approaches were tolerable but put a putter in his hand and you could see two days into the future.

 

We hit the 11th or 12th and we'd had it. Taking walks for lines above and below the hole and he wasn't making anything. We finally told him to cut this nonsense out or we're going to call a marshal and a penalty.

 

Word made it to our coaches and the walk up 18 greeted us with both coaches, arms crossed looking like we stole our parents car.

 

I've never received a more limp dick handshake in my life than after signing that card.

I've played with a guy a few different time that does this. It takes me no longer than 5-10 seconds after I address my ball to hit. It's excruciating to see someone freeze over the ball, you want to yell “Just hit the dang thing!!!” Playing with someone like that hinders my game.

This happened to a buddy of mine who was a pretty decent self-taught golfer who ended up going to see his club pro because he just wasn't consistent enough for tournament play. He had so many swing thoughts from his lessons that he just couldn't pull the trigger for a bit. He got over it and is playing great now, but for a little bit it was really rough to watch.
