Have you ever wondered what goes on in the clubhouse after a round of golf? Well, let me tell you about a delightful encounter that happened recently. Picture this: four wise and spirited older ladies, sitting around, post-game, enjoying each other’s company.
A familiar face, a regular golf pro, couldn’t resist their lively conversation and approached them with genuine curiosity. He asked, “How did your game go, ladies?” Little did he know, the response he would receive would leave him completely bewildered.
The first lady proudly declared that she had a good round and casually mentioned that she had 25 “riders.” This term piqued the pro’s interest, leaving him slightly perplexed. Sensing his confusion, the second lady chimed in, excitedly sharing that she too had a fantastic round with 16 riders. Now the pro was utterly lost.
Seeing his bewilderment, the third lady kindly explained that her round was just average, with only ten riders. By now, the pro’s curiosity was piqued, and he couldn’t help but ask for clarification. The fourth lady, with a dash of self-deprecating humor, confessed that she had the worst round of the day, mustering a measly two riders.
Desperate for answers, the golf pro decided to consult the bartender, hoping to unravel the mysterious term. Curiosity danced in his eyes as he inquired, “What on earth do these ladies mean by ‘riders’?”
The bartender, with a twinkle in his eye, simply replied, “A ‘rider’ is when you hit a shot long enough to ride on a golf cart to your ball.”
And with that, the pro’s confusion dissipated, replaced by a newfound admiration for these remarkable ladies who knew how to inject humor into their golfing adventures. With a polite farewell, he bid the ladies adieu, leaving them to revel in their laughter and camaraderie.
So, next time you find yourself enjoying a friendly game of golf, remember the tale of these four older ladies who added a touch of whimsy to their golfing lingo. And who knows, you might just earn some riders of your own along the way!
