The 3 Types of Golfers

When you work at a golf course, you usually find many different personalities amongst the golfers you meet. I have generalized them into these three categories.

1. The Silent. The name says it all. These golfers are silent as they pass you or just barely acknowledge you with a nod of their head. These golfers are the easiest to tolerate because they do not attempt to engage you in any way and you do not need to engage them in any way in return.

2. The Witty. These golfers seem to feel the need to make a quick joke as they drive by. You must laugh, otherwise the golfer may become offended and then they become dissatisfied and grumpy. This can in turn lead to the termination of your work. Because of this, a simple laugh is the easiest thing to do and it will fulfill their desperate need to be acknowledged. A word of warning: golfers are NEVER funny, so the laugh has to be very fake.

3. The Conversation Starters. These golfers attempt to engage you in a full length conversation, inquiring such menial things as how you are doing, where their ball landed, the weather conditions, etc. In all likelihood, these golfers are the hardest to deal with because it requires conscious effort on your part to keep them satisfied.

So there you have it, the three types of golfers. And even though it seems that golfers are the hardest thing in the world to deal with, they probably are not. Herpes is most definitely harder to deal with.
