Well, it was a gorgeous day on the links in Lower Main. A cloudless sunny sky, cold beer, and a poopy Nucks fan ponying up on his bet after opening his mouth early last pre-season.
The Bet: Whoever's team wins the season series between the Nucks and Flames, the loser has to caddy a full 18 holes for the winner, sporting the opposite team's jersey.
The Winner: Me (and a moral victory for the C of Red)
The Loser: A really upset and heat exhausted Nucks fan (that jersey was damn hot, especially on a near 30 degree day)
The Outcome: Pure schadenfreude
Icing on the Cake: I'll be honest, he's a much better golfer than me and our other bud. The 2 of us golfing took much longer than needed per hole to sink the ball (some of it was on purpose, some of it was the beer). Super pissed by the end, he had enough and opened his mouth again and shook hands on another bet - 2 talls of beer - that he could win the 18th hole. He bogeyed on the par 4. It was the only par I'd gotten all day, and I was already 7 talls in.
What a great day.

Fantastic. Was he drunk enough to try the same bet this year?

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.

Did you treat him with total disdain all day, call him boy as in
"Boy go fetch my ball out of that swamp, its worth more to me then you are"
or
"boy due to your stupidity I am out of tee's, we're going to have to tee off of your face"
Or
"boy fetch me a glass of champagne in a men's hat with a peach floating in it"
Oh, there was much degradation and defamation of character. He took it pretty well, even handing me the right clubs, putting them away nicely, handing me tees, and fresh cold beers. His name wasn't boy though.....it was b*tch. All day.
I even pointed out that wearing his Nucks hat in protest doesn't make him look cool or soften the blow any less, that it made him look like a confused tool to the public.
At the first hole, I made him pick my ball out of the cup. Before he could think, I pointed after I sunk the putt and he bent over and picked it up. I started laughing. Even pro golfers pick their own ball out of the hole. He didn't like that too much.

He brought his own, I didn't bring mine purposely because all our beer was in the cooler section of my bag too making it much heavier, and I wanted him to sweat. I told him that wasn't part of the bet, but he wouldn't have it. The course is only open so many hours and we had to get going. Don't worry, he heard about it the whole time.
This is a great bet and good on your buddy for following through. There's a special place in hell, spending eons watching Oiler highlights with Taylor Hall doing play by play for bet welchers.
