BFH RANT – Morons Who Blow Their Horns At Golfers

Friday, 9 October 2015, 20:00 BFH Uncategorized 75

Actually, morons is too weak a word to describe a person who would try to time a car horn blast to “mess up” a golfer.

Every golf course I’ve ever been on, where a portion of the course can be seen by motorists, there is inevitably some completely worthless human being who seems compelled to interfere in an activity that has nothing to do with them.

What makes the behavior particularly loathsome is that they don’t even witness the effects of their action. They are long gone. So it is a bit like putting a note in a library book that says “F- you.”

I’d have more respect for them if they threw water balloons and pointed and laughed at a guy soaking wet in his stupid golf outfit. Then, at least, it could be explained to them how their stupidity cost the golfer a fifty buck bet, or denied them of their personal best score, or prevented them from winning a tournament. But I suppose someone who would get off on the slightest possibility that they menaced a complete stranger would be left unmoved by anyone’s story.

I caution anyone in the comments to try and say that I’m ranting about this because I love golf. This is not about golf. It’s about these sick individuals. I would feel the same about them if they let off an air blast while driving by an archery tournament, and I’m not an archer. This is a trait that some would say exists in a sadist.

And lastly, I associate these idiots with being leftwing.

They hate that someone is doing something they enjoy doing while they have to be in their car. It’s the jealousy factor, a leftwing trait. Conservatives wouldn’t “tread on someone” pursuing their happiness, would they?

  9. Then there are the dumbfuck golfers who think it’s funny to try to hit the groundsman as he mows the fairways. One hit my tractor fender and put a huge dent in it. If that had been my head it would have killed me.

  11. I caddied from about age 12 to 25. I missed a couple summers trying out the real job thing, but always went back to looping. I caddied on the north shore at a few clubs, pretty swanky places actually.

    I’ve seen just about everything that can happen on a golf course. The horns to a guy drilling a bird off the tee on a par 5 about 100yds out and 50ft high. I also got to play these exclusive private courses on Mondays for free!

    But your wrong in your assumption of the horn blower. These clubs were filled with the most progressive rich dips you’d find within 50 miles of Chicago. Seriously it was a gagfest for 4+ fcuking hours sometimes, schlepping doubles in the hot sun!

    So it should be no wonder why I know all the best stretches and I look for the backswing in motion and I lay on the horn or yell FORE!

  16. It would never occur to me to do that. But then again it would never occur to me to break out a stranger’s car windows for the fun of it. I have had the latter happen to me, but not the former, since I do not golf. I’ll leave it up to you as to which you would consider the most aggravating. It’s the same thing, really – just a matter of degree.

  17. I had a friend who golfed every Wed. But never told me that’s what he was doing.
    20 years later he tells me he used to golf. I had no idea.
    He said he hated people who told people they golfed. Who cares if you golf.
    I guess he is right. It is a pretty dumb thing to do.

  18. I detest the loud-mouth who yells “Get in the hole!!” at tournaments. Hey buddy, take your Bud Lite and go back to the baseball game. Golf isn’t polo, but it’s not sandlot either.

  20. Sounds like that course needs several people like Happy’s Mr. Larson to take care of the horn beasties.

    The country course that we frequented was split by a street – front nine on the north side of street, back nine on the south side of street. I played it often, and no one driving that road ever did anything so crappy. Although many cars got hit by a very wayward drive or two on the first hole.

  23. See that’s what’s nice about going to the range with a high power rifle. You get respect whether you deserve it or not.
    By the way it’s really fun to try to hit a golf ball with a shotgun.
    My buddy hits the ball and I try to shoot it. He stands 20 feet away and hits away
    It is really hard to shoot them at first.

  24. I fly hot air balloons over golf courses all the time. We have tohit the burner as needed or we sink into trees, lakes wires and other undesirable places. It is loud and I do my best to not interrupt a swing, not always successfully.

  27. I’m wrong?
    I have assholes do this all the time and I’m not a progressive. Neither is any of my golfing buddies.
    So who is wrong?
    You’re illustrating my point.
    It’s the same mindset as the person who laces Tylenol with poison and puts it back on the shelf.
    You’re just lobbing a grenade into a crowd.
    You’re firing an arrow into the air over a festival.
    If you’re going to be an asshole, don’t be a lazy asshole.
    Find out a little about your intended victim and then target them specifically.

  28. Targeting a specific person for your wrath is perfectly fine with me.
    It’s the laziness I object to. If being a moron towards someone when you have absolutely no idea who you are harassing is your idea of fun, well, you might have mental problems. And it has nothing to do with golf. It has to do with how fucking stupid you’d have to be to want to bother a random person that did nothing at all to you.
    There is something really wrong in the head with a person like that.

  31. yeah, I have done it-but that was before I was “informed” that it was a “leftwing” thing……
    I didnt realize it was like brain surgery, one slip and you are dead.
    Ya know what is really dumb? Golf. It is so stupid Obama can do it. Its so stupid BIDEN can do it!!!
    Like anyone cares how many times you whack a ball as you stroll around a manicured snootatorium of a park. Or drive around, like a pampered Wall Street lawyer in a limo…. Its so stupid you can do it drunk. It’s just a fancy form of playing solitaire- as soon as you are done, you forget it.
    I think I will go for a drive in the snooty snob part of town……. Better install my new train horn first! Or maybe one that plays Dixie…..

  32. How about I stand outside the gym, and when someone is about to snatch a weight I blow an air horn?
    And then he crumples and blows out his knee.
    It would be hilarious because “I think weightlifting is stupid!!”

    I sound like an asshole, right?
    That’s what anyone in this thread defending or participating in the horn blowing sounds like.

    Again, it’s not about golf. It’s about the idiocy behind the act itself, irrespective of what the target activity is.

  34. I deleted a comment.
    Congratulations to anyone who saw it, it was a good one. But it’s not worth it to rile up knuckleheads.
    I’ve seen it too many times before.
    Suddenly the “conservative” puts butthurt before political ideology, and then they become a pain in the ass, choosing to die on the most idiotic of hills.

  35. Let me tell you my experience with golf bro. You can google this shit to see if I’m full of shit. The wife and I started playing golf in our mid thirties. I discovered I’m not a finess athlete. So we join the upper brow Searrano golf cours with member ship buy in at a shit load of money. Bunch of snooty assholes. Dress code, asshole marshals. Not a place for a blue collar asshole. Meanwhile there’s a community course down the hill where most residents play. A great little course played by retired people on fixed incomes kids, and lots of guys me me that don’t take my game that serious. The Developer of Serrano purchased the public course from the city about 8 years ago and shut it down. Claimed it wasn’t making any money. Now it sit with some many weeds you can barely recognize the greens. He’s been trying to build homes there since he bought it and the no growth coalition keeps kicking his ass. That doesn’t make the d retired people that use to play there feel any better. Shot there was a one armed old black vet that use to play there.

    So I only honk at private courses bud.

  37. Hey Fur, since you’re a golfer maybe you know about The First Tee organization. And if you don’t, look it up. You may be interested in volunteering sometime. Our daughter started with them when she was about 7 or 8 and spent a half dozen summers in their org. Geoff C. The Saltine volunteered with them for a couple of summers when he had time. Great organization. Uses the game of golf as a tool for teaching kids about the virtues like being ladies and gentlemen, integrity, perseverance, etc. Golf’s a natural activity for learning about yourself and how to get along in the world.

    I played once. I was pretty good but I considered it an unnatural act. Not leisurely enough for me.

  38. I guess explaining that the rant has nothing to do with golf, no less than 3 times, means nothing?

    I’m talking about the mindset of scattershot harassment for joy, targeting people you do not know, and then not even being there to see the end result of your actions.
    It seems sociopathic. Golf just happens to be the venue we’re talking about here.

    Just blaring a horn, with the sole purpose of causing grief, at people who you do not know displays a bit of mental instability.

    You don’t know what is going on with the particular group. They could be guests from Wounded Warrior.
    It could be a person that worked their ass off to get to a tournament and you’re possibly fucking them over by causing them to screw up a shot, or a putt, and it can literally alter their life.
    Why does that fill you with joy?

  42. I’ll look into it.
    Sounds rewarding.
    I’ll teach them how to wait for that right moment and completely screw with a stranger by leaning on the hor…
    Oh, they teach kids how to be good citizens?
    That’s stupid. Why be a good citizen?

  43. Guilty as charged, but I was a reckless young adult. Married, kid, 18 years later and my life is normal now. Anyways it will all come back to you, trust me. I used hit cars, buses, trucks with eggs and water balloons. Now at 46, I get pelted with paint balls while driving. Ying and the yang.

  48. I’m playing with rednecks – fisherman, hunters, blue collar workers, conservatives, and we always hear the attempt to screw you up coming from these two holes on the course.
    So, anyone who has the stereotype in their head of the Monopoly man and his cigar chomping buddies, gargling brandy, and messing them up, they are way off.

  49. Actually, BFH, you hit the nerve. We are not allowed to enjoy our lives. They, the libtards always want to disturb us. They actually hate the fact that we love our spouses to the point of celebrating our lives. I think it makes them mad!

    They have been indoctrinated in college to be looking out for those idiots who actually enjoy life…How dare they!

    They are not evil, just indoctrinated idiots who couldn’t put themselves above a raving mad professor. Drones is more like it. Willing to buy into a life of misery for the sake of what? A utopia that could never happen. And If they were truly intellectuals, they would realize that their goal is impossible, because it includes golfers.

  50. I know where you’re coming from, I play public courses and they’re even more road prone. It’s almost a psych out firing off over next to an intersection. BUT, that’s 2\3rds of the game!!! You need to be better than that. Are you gonna choke a sand shot on a down hill lie, or are you gonna go for the stick. Nancy?

  52. What you’re saying is the other guy that’s blowing the horn has complete control over your life. You will be happy if he cooperates. And you will be miserable if he doesn’t.

    No way to go through life. And I won’t charge a hundred bucks an hour for the psychiatric advice. It’s free.

  55. I honk at bicyclists when I’m going in the opposite direction.
    When they turn around and rear-end the car in front of them, I’m long gone. If they recover in ICU, they never remember anything.

  57. The ‘look at me’ says it all. The world doesn’t revolve around you.
    Medically treating people like you who suffer severe emotional deficits is largely unsuccessful. Go home. Stay there and don’t reproduce.

  58. Scenario:
    Because of this discussion, the next time you go by a golf course you’re really going to lean on the horn, and you’re going to laugh like a loon, and the laughing will peter out slowly, you’ll get a glimpse of your own eyes in the rearview mirror. You’ll hit the horn again. Then smack it. Then you’ll start punching it as you begin to cry and ask out loud where it was , exactly, when you fucked up your life.
    You’ll almost hit the car in front of you. You’ll curse at them, he’ll give you the finger, call you an asshole. You’ll sniffle. Go home and beat your dog.
    You’ll log on iOTWreport and write something about how all the niggers and Mexicans are ruining everything.

    Send me the hundred bucks at my paypal.

  60. It’s never gotten me. Not once. I’ve been lucky.
    It’s just so soul sucking to hear this attempt at anonymous to anonymous grief spreading, just for the hell of it.

    And they say niggaz ruin everything.

  63. I think there must be some crossover between the people who say minorities ruin society and the (I presume) white people on this site who are saying they get off a bit by ruining daily life for other random white people.
    I’m speaking to that crossover demographic only.
    Maybe they should go down to the hood and blow their horn just as a brother is taking a free throw.
    #WhiteGolfersMatter!

  64. Illegitimi non carborundum, my friend. Illigitimi non carborundum.

    Words to live by. And this, from my dear, departed grandad:

    It doesn’t take all kinds to make the world (go ’round), we just got ’em.

    Yes, there are those whose delight is to screw up someone’s mojo just for the heck of it. We’ve all been the victim of something from someone for no good reason. Our number just came up and there it is. The trick is to not sucked into the trying to figure out the nameless, faceless jerk’s motives — because it doesn’t matter at all. Could be anything. We’re dealing with high-powered jerks in every quarter right now, especially in the gov’t. They are the biggest time-wasting, nonsensical mojo killers there are. Best thing to do is just keep on keeping on and do what you can to suppress their influence. In the case of gov’t, get rid of them. Maybe the honkers will grow up some day.

    We once had a police officer who would go through our neighborhood EVERY SINGLE MORNING and run his siren for about 30 seconds at about 6:00 a.m. Too early to get up, too late to go back to sleep. We think he was signaling his wife or girlfriend or something. Maybe he was like your horn honker and just couldn’t stand it that people were ASLEEP. He either got a lot of angry calls into the precinct or he is doing the same thing somewhere else in the city on his new beat.

  65. I’ve only had this problem a couple of times. And I have to tell you – it was annoying because a flop shot over the street sign from the left turn pocket on Maple Street to the green is a real bitch of a shot even when it’s not rush hour. And don’t get me started about the ration of grief I received from those attending the funeral service – that tee shot was at least 350 yards.

  66. You think that’s stupid behaviour, what about the hunting protesters? Now they have branched out to targeting fishermen too.
    They go into the woods with the intention of disrupting the day of a person who hasn’t harmed them. Not only that but the fees and taxes the hunters and fishermen pay support wildlife management.
    The crazy part, the hunters are armed, camouflaged and in the woods.
    The patience shown the losers by hunters is down right phenomenal. If they weren’t, you would have a lot more “hunting accidents”.
    The NRA doesn’t cause gun violence, stupid people cause gun violence.

  67. It’s sorta like the nasty looking guy that honks the horn at a woman walking on the sidewalk… And it’s never a good looking guy, either.
    LMAO!

    I’ve also seen people drive by churches and do that, too.
    There are some retarded adults out there.

  72. Same dirty cocksuckers who interrupt your steak dinner to whine about vegetarianism. Or throw fake blood on your wife’s fake fur. Or insist on gun control every time some nutcase shoots somebody.

  73. You wanna talk about horns? Here we go — I hate HATE people who have to lock the car with the remote which causes the horn to blow. It’s not nice to do that after 9PM in your neighborhood. It is not too much to ask that they manually lock the car, you know with the button. Disturbing the peace at night is wrong.

    I hate these people with a deadly hate.
