ask me about: hustling golf - Page 5

I've never played a round of golf in my life. I've only hit buckets of balls at a range about 7-to-10 times, last time was about 12 years ago (I think I can hit a ball about 140 yards, maybe up to 190ish, maybe a little less, I just don't quite remember). [I Played some miniature golf 30 years ago, probably 40 or more games, won more than my share]

Question: If I wanted to play Tiger Woods an 18 hole round of golf for cash, what kind of deal would I have to get him to agree to for me to have a decent chance of collecting the amount we bet?

how much is alot of money to you? 1000, 10000, 50000? all are a penny to TW. get on his good side and bet him 10k you can beat him heads up. he starts from the back tee you start from the fringe. when you get better/win a few start from a bunker of his choosing, then the red tees, once he starts to get annoyed lose 40% of the time from a comfortable start. if he likes you you could do this for decades.

I think you'd have to negotiate for three "gotchas". (sometimes called something different in other areas of the country)

i think 2 gotchas is all you need.

When you make a long drive bet, who goes first? I am assuming the ball must be in the fairway to count.

Have not heard you mention closest to the pin bets. You make these?

You say you are self-taught and not from a golfing family. How did you get into golf?

IT DOESNT MATTER. I ASSUME YOU "KNOW" WHOS GOING TO WIN. SOMETIMES YOU'RE BETTER OFF LOSING.

ALL THE TIME

I WAS THE POOR KID WHO LIVED UP THE STREET FROM THE GOLF COURSE. I WORKED AS A BALL PICKER/CLUB REPAIRER/GREENSKEEPER/PRACTICE MY ASS OFF HARDCORE GOLF HUSTLER (WITH A SMILE), I NEVER SAW A GOLFCLUB UNTIL I WAS 16 WHICH IS TOO LATE UNLESS YOU ARE NICK FALDO (WHICH I AM NOT)

I have played maybe ten times in my life, once in the last 5 years. My brother offered to bet me that I couldnt break 150, counting evrything, 12/hole max. Easy bet for me?

sure fire way of knowing. get in your car, drive to the course, play, count your score. bet if your score was 149 or better. i get half.

What's your general image? A rich guy who can afford to drop $$ on a lark? Lots of bling?

How did you manage your image when you were younger?

What did you try to get them to think about you, outside of the golf game itself?
