Yeah, that's some funny stuff. As long as we're on the subject, here's one story I like;
Several years ago I played with a guy who wasn't a particularly good player but was a funny guy, and a little slow on the draw when it came time to buy a drink. During a round of golf I noticed he was taking a long time to tee his ball. Upon closer examination I saw he had tied a string to 3 tees. One tee in the center and tees tied on each end of a roughly 12" length of twine. He would stick the "lead" tee in the ground and then stretch the remaining length in front of the peg. I asked what the hell he was doing. He said "well, tees ain't cheap and tying them together this way, they don't fly out of sight. And, I can stretch the string out and use is as an aiming device." I said, "you cheap shit, you can tie your tees together all you want, but I'll be damned if I'll let you use the string to aim with. Its against the rules." He never played with our group again. This guy also, and I swear this is true, taped broken tees together. Cheapest turd I ever met.
