Last Saturday my regular golf partner couldn't play so I showed up as a solo. One of the two guys who I was matched up with and had just met 5 minutes earlier said, "what the heck is that thing" as I addressed my first drive on #1 tee. He was referring to my Brush Tee which I've been using for a few weeks. I stepped away from the ball and went through my pre-shot routine before hitting it straight down the middle. That really felt good. Three strokes later I had my par.

Although it didn't effect my results on #1, I thought about his untimely comment as I pushed that strange looking Brush Tee into the ground for the next few holes. At the end of the day I can say I enjoyed playing with these two but it could have gone down hill from the comments at the start. Was this fellow trying to get in my head or was he just not very considerate? We as golfers are a sensitive bunch when it comes to comments or distractions. I'm just glad this didn't effect what ended up as a good day on the course.
