Dr.
Double's Treatment |
Result |
| Uncle
Firecracker |
Leaving
his golf club behind after throwing it in a fit of blown shot anger. |
Began
to return his clubs to pro shop so that they were there to haunt him
before he began his next round. |
Cured,
Uncle Firecracker took better aim and put more effort into his tosses.
Water Hazards became a comfortable target along with thick tall trees with
branches like a shortstops hands. |
| Mr.
Perfection |
Left
second shot 2" short on double eagle attempt on 525 yard par 5. Went ballistic
alienating all playing partners. |
Prescribed
large doses of alcohol and massive quantities of high powered sedatives. |
Cured,
a new level of non-perfection achieved. All golf equipment donated to
charity, refuses to even drive by local golfing links. |
| Mr.
Yips |
Unable
to make a 2 foot putt. |
Advised
Mr. Yips to aim for the fringe and try to chip it in, then maybe if he got
close enough he could beg his opponent to give him the putt. |
Cured,
Mr. Yips sold his house, moved south, gave up golf and took up fishing and
to Dr Double's knowledge has not suffered from the yips since. |
| The
Golf Snob |
A
mid to high single digit handicapper, unable to bring himself to play with
higher handicaps as they simply don't know how to play the game.
Translation they don't appreciate his "greatness". |
Pair
him up with a raw and beginning 36 handicap with no tournament experience
in a major club tournament qualifying round. |
Still
under treatment, has refused to play in any "blind draw" events
so treatment has been suspended. Dr Double knows only one or two more
treatments will end The Golf Snob's frustrations with a total meltdown. |
