The Driving Range Beefcake

Spend any amount of time on a driving range and you're bound to come
across a range of characters. One guy I came across yesterday I will
call "The Driving Range Beefcake". This is the guy that knows he can
hit the ball a long way and likes to 'flex' for others to see.

I don't try to listen to other people talk on the range but Beefcake
was talking loud enough for the people around to hear. Telling his
friend that he doesn't practice with his driver until he gets it right
(not sure how he will ever get it right if he doesn't practice with
it) and that he is happy to hit 2-iron off the tee all the time.
Friend then states that it'll be easier to hit driver and short irons
into the tee. Beefcake says that's not an issue because he hits 2-iron
250m and proceeds to tee it up. I'm not looking but I hear the swish
of a club and an ugly clunk sound, followed by laughter and his friend
saying "that was a pure shank dude".

As I pack up to leave I take another look and this guy is built like
some underworld hard man. He's swinging so hard that my back hurts
just looking at him. I have to say that he was making good contact
with the ball and that they were probably travelling about 200m. Who
knows if they were going straight.

I salute you Beefcake and your awesomeness. :)
