What is the most oxymoronic phrase you can think of?

28. I was 76 when he was 90

He made me play from the regular tees and I let him tee off from places where he could reach the green with his 9 wood. I am struggling to reach par 4's with my 3 wood. He beat me about half the time and I thought I was pretty good. Yes, he could chip and putt.

When he was 87 and I was 73 we played in our club's biggest tournament of the year, we were partners. The 1st 9 holes was a 2 man scramble, it decides what flight your team is slotted in. After 5 or 6 holes he looks at me and says, hey, we're playing too good they are going to put us in the championship bracket. I tell him, you start playing bad. Sure enough we get put in the top bracket.

The 2nd 9 holes is better ball where they take the best score from the 2 of us. The final 9 holes is alternate shot. We are doing fine but the 2 youngsters playing with us were really lighting it up, made 6 birdies in a row at one stretch. We only have about 3 holes left and I have a 3rd shot to a par 4. My buddy short sided me and I was in some grass we call frog hair. I try this Tiger Wood's flop shot to be a hero and cold shank it and almost hit my buddy. The look on his face, he was about to cry. I luckily had a mulligan I didn't use, so I take my putter grip and swing back and forth like a putt just to get it on the green and kept my head down and then I heard people yelling, I holed it.

We didn't think we won anything when they were giving out the prizes but when they called our names for 2nd place the look on my buddy's eyes I will remember forever. The prize money was cash, so I say, go up and get it.

Best tournament I ever finished 2nd in.
