We were hung over like there was no tomorrow after a great CCBill night of drinking and debauchery and like the idiots we are we had GOLF scheduled this morning.
Worst idea ever...
I had pre-ordered a car and after heavy negotiating with the other 3 in our foursome we made it out and off we went. To Raven golf course that I had played before - problem was, I did not know the way but the driver did, thankfully. She said it would take us 20 minutes to go there. The others were all happy and not as hung over like I was, I think.
We got to the Raven in about 3 minutes, the driver did NOT know her way around and it was getting annoying because we were a bit late so I called the course to tell them we were a bit late and if that was ok. It was, because we did NOT have tee time there the guy in the pro-shop told me. I was hung over and dumbfounded, I could swear that I did indeed book a foursome at the Raven golf course! The guy in the pro-shop told me he had no records of it but would check the entire system, and there it was, he found our reservation at Raven, but not in Phoenix! The Raven at Verrado... Super I thought to myself and then told the driver to take us there instead if it was not too long to drive. She said naaaaah, not far at all. Maybe 20 minutes or so, we would get there on time......
So we drove.
And we drove..
And drove some more...
Then she got lost.
Turned around.
We were in a desert.
Our tee time had passed 30 minutes ago.
And then, we made it - only 2 hours after our tee time! Pretty fucking good if you ask me, hung over and all.
It cost us around $200 to pay the driver. That got lost. We had no tee time, the course was full so nothing available in the foreseeable future. Ever heard of a place called BUCKEYE? Well, that is where the course was.
We finally teed off BY SHEER LUCK. I sliced my first drive into a lake. Shap whom I thought never played golf CRUSHED his drive. It was miserable, hot and cold at the same time. I lost 5 sleves of balls in total.
It finally ended and it was time for a quick drink (on top of all the ones we consumed while playing) and then head back to the hotel to go to various meetings we had scheduled.
No taxis would come to get us because it was too far out in the boonies. We got stuck for 3 hours at the course with no ride! It got dark, very dark.
Finally we got saved, by complete luck, by Sean (NSCASH)s father who happened to live a few miles away and we made it back to Tempe about 13 hours after we took off.
