We agreed on something a few weeks ago too.
It was a full moon the other night, or close to it.
If he was your FUTURE FIL, let him win. He's already your FIL, play your game...

what?
FIL= Father In Law...
why be a pussy and let him win?
Seriously, who cares.
Letting him win = sell out
First off, your assuming you can beat him. What if he beats you like a red headed step child? And what if he's all juvenile about it. How would you feel about him? Do you want to be that a-hole?

Gently beat him if you're better than him. At the same time be yourself and play a good game. Golf sometimes is more about how you play rather than who you're playing.
If you do play better than him just ignore his game. It's bad enough what you're doing to his little girl.

and beating him down = overcompetitive prick.
why not just go out and enjoy the time together....that's what the day was about, yes?

I wasn't suggesting he go out there and show him up. That is a real dick move. That's one of the reasons I quit golfing; I am not very good and use to just have fun, but it became way too competitive for a thursday night after work with some beers.
But purposely playing worse so the other appears to be better is wrong.

You know, you should play with Dr. Beeper and myself. I mean, he's been club champion for three years running and I'm no slouch myself.

"HMMMMMM HMMMMMM HMMMMMMM"
just got back and had to post this.
when some people get on a golf course they become complete a-holes. my father in law acted like he was 12. it was a crazy club throwing, yelling at other golfers, cheating good time. i play at this course 2-3 times a week! i felt like an idiot. the whole time we are out he kept telling me how much better he was at golf than me. when we made the turn i got the "fake" phone call and had to leave. if it was at another course i would have stayed for the show.

i'm 6'2'' so i am taller than most, shorter than some......i don't know to be honest.
i do know that i have a small fortune in golf gear that i would someday like to use to its potential.

it definitely did. thankfully!
I'll admit that I throw a club once in a while, but mostly just because I like the sound it makes as it flies through the air.
I DO NOT yell at other golfers, or otherwise misbehave on the course.

It's easy to grin
when your ship comes in
and you've got the stock market beat
But the man worthwhile
is the man who can smile
when his shorts are too tight in the seat

Are you a looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock?
This is the worst looking hat I ever saw. When you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, looks good on you though.

Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness
