this poor slug usually has a ball retriever, with a suction cup on the bottom of his putter, iron covers and a dog face headcover that resembles his canine named “Bogey”. 4. Bewildered International Traveler Guy This is typically an out-of-shape American golfer with a beer gut, who must have a driving cart to play the game. Problem is, when the ol’ Chubster ventures to Scotland or Ireland to play golf, he’s going to have to walk on wildly undulating terrain. Before the trip, Chubs is telling his fellow trip mates, let’s play 36 a day. He quickly finds out after walking just nine holes that he’s totally gassed and will barely make it through 18, much less 36. 5. Remote Control Pull Cart Guy These are really popular in Europe, but some Americans are becoming converts. I detect a certain arrogance from these guys as they stroll confidently by the struggling golfer carrying his bag. I guess, there’s a certain amount of envy by golfers like me who don’t want to fork out upwards of $2,000 for one of these electronic caddies. Great thing, the remote control carts don’t mutter some sarcastic comment under their breath (like some human caddies do) when you shank one 50 yards into the woods. 6. Tricked Out Pull Cart Guy This guy’s pull cart is loaded with all sorts of amenities. He’s got multiple drink holders, a place for his tees and balls and even a tray where he can place his extra cheesy nachos, or fully loaded hot dog, he snagged at the turn. 7. Overloaded with Beer Guy Some golfers view par threes and short courses like an outdoor turf bowling experience. The goal is to knock down a brewski per hole. Consequently, hops and barley guy has stashed beers in every conceivable pocket in his bag. By the time he gets to the ninth hole he’s sufficiently lit and ready to consume more beers. Forget the numbers on the scorecard, he rates his success by the number of beers he can put in his bag. 8. Flip Flops/Golf Sandals Guy Please, save the flip flops and golf sandals for miniature putt-putt courses with windmills and Ohio Golf Journal
