As mentioned in a previous post my boss and his boss spent the week with me.  Both of these gentlemen are really cool and are great to work for.  In fact at lunch on Thursday my boss’s boss said “F$@^ work lets go golfing”. I didn’t know if he was serious or not, but got the impression that he was willing to drop everything, rent some clubs and hit the links(both are huge golf fans).  Sure enough an hour later we are warming up on the first tee, hitting our mandatory mulligan.

As the game began they started talking some crazy golf lingo about 9points, pressing holes, sand snakes, etc.., I still have no idea what they were talking about other than these were different bets. After the first 9 holes I was actually winning the round(I shot a legit 41).  My boss’s boss kept saying “you know the boss is supposed to win right?”(the boss rule)  My response was “I don’t know, I am  not a golfer”. The back 9 was a little tougher and my boss actually tied me going into the last hole. I ended up sealing the victory with a laser 6 iron that stopped less than 2 feet from the cup.

This poses the question are you supposed to let the boss or the customer win just for the sake of being nice? I think not.

It also turns out that the game 9points pays $1 per point.  I ended up taking 42 points on the round and I still don’t know how the points are won.
