Scary Similarities

Two different Pro-Shops in two different states, and that's about the only thing that's changed. It is just scary how similar environments, and even more people are to other people. Here is my case study: FH will be course #1 and PR will be course #2)

Case #1: Greenskeeper
This isn't a big shocker that I find the two course superintendents very similar....until you see how specifically similar they are. Both have exact same height (a touch shorter than avg.) Both have same build, both wear sunglasses in the pro shop. Both wear flip flops while watering greens. Both enjoy hunting. Both have same rough looking unshaven appearance. Past appearances you get to demeanor. Both portray tough boss role. Both like to joke around and pretend to leave the pro shop because they are busy, but would rather stay and talk a bit longer. Both are hard on their employees (good thing). As a matter of fact, I can't find one difference between them. Oh...and both are named Brian.

Case #2: Father who has talented golfing daughter
Both present nice smile, approaching appearance when you first meet them. Both call the GD pro shop when something goes wrong to complain. Both say "I'm not one of those father's that likes to brag, but (insert daughter's name here) played 4-16 in just 3 over par. And she had a double bogey on 8!" Between the two father's, I've heard they don't like to brag a collective 7-8 times. Both are tall. Both have no hair. You never see the wives. I could go on.

Case #3: The Assistant Pro who hates the job
Both like country music. Both like fishing. Both negative in a good way. Both are passive aggressive. Both are same tall height...well, 6'4" to 6'3" anyways. Both loooooove drinking beer. Both love their city's baseball team. Both hate members with a passion. Both could care less about hating members. Both quit their jobs to pursue other ventures. Oh...and both are named Matt.

Case #4: The beyooooootch of the club
Both are short, dark headed, short haired, complainers. Nothing is ever done good enough, both are involved on a personal basis in way too many things......time is up...but you get the idea. More case studies I could present. The enthusiastic golf pro....this use to be me. The accountant. The teaching pro that thinks they own the gdf golf course. Naturally, any of the jokers on the food side of golf operations.

Blah Blah Blah....seen one golf course, seen them all. I look forward to the day where I answer to nobody.
