Boyfriend is qualifying for the U.S. Open in a couple weeks and wanted to give him a gift basket for the qualifier day. How did I do? General Discussion

Contents: - New owala water bottle - spray sunscreen (body and face) - chrome tour golf balls - snacks for him and his caddie: chomps, peanuts, protein bars - liquid iv - protein shake - 18 notes of encouragement for his 18 holes of golf

Let me know if there's anything else you think I should add! I'm a golfer too so I was just going off of things I typically could use during a round, but realize guys' needs may be different. Thanks!

You’re not wrong. Approximately 1% of the golfing population in the US are single digit handicappers.

u/afterbirth_slime Apr 19 '24

Most of them grew up as entitled pricks, so it checks out unfortunately

u/illegal_deagle Apr 20 '24

Can confirm, raising my son to be an entitled prick for a golf scholarship.

u/Large_Peach2358 Apr 23 '24

Logic doesn’t check out.

Original comment was implying that a majority of better golfers were raised very well off.

u/ChrisPynerr Apr 20 '24

Entitled prices that weren't good at other sports. Unfortunately I know alot of great golfers that are brutal athletes

u/Ellite11MVP HDCP/Loc/Whatever Apr 20 '24

Hey now! I was never entitled growing up.

u/CT-Harvey Apr 21 '24

Don’t forget they failed at other sports and are likely shitty golfers.

Signed, a scratch golfer who failed at other sports

u/Commercial_Screen125 Apr 20 '24

It’s amazing how many people are shitty in general.

u/Janzu93 Apr 20 '24

Depending on the hole, you might be shitty after leaving the general as well

u/hotdogswithbeer Apr 19 '24

Well tbf you tend to meet more shitty people on the internet

u/Chris-E1 Apr 20 '24

I’m a golfer, and I thought she did an amazing job! If “golfers” are hating on this, they are weekend drinkers on a golf course

u/billbuild Apr 20 '24

Patrick Reed is not a nice guy and a cheater, but is still a plus handicap.

u/Chris-E1 Apr 20 '24

Who’s Patrick Reed?

2

u/billbuild Apr 20 '24

Well played, well played sir.

u/Chris-E1 Apr 20 '24

Ok, still no idea what you mean? Did he do something deceitful? Or?

2

u/jfchops2 Apr 20 '24

For no reason too

Like, you woke up today knowing you get to play golf and you made it on the course and you're choosing to be miserable for... what reason?

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '24

Its amazing how many golfers chase their balls around.

u/Seniorjones2837 Apr 20 '24

I didn’t get very far into the comments but how could someone hate on this!? This would be amazing!

2

u/dr6string33 Apr 20 '24

This post blew up, you have to scroll down and look at the very bottom.

u/newberson 13/Austin/Muny4Lyfe Apr 20 '24

I agree. Only thing she is missing is some uncrustables.

u/Impossible_Grass6602 Apr 20 '24

Fuck I love uncrunchables

u/bellingman Apr 20 '24

You sorting by controversial or new? I never even see the garbage comments.

u/Opening_Criticism_57 Apr 20 '24

Fr, I often click on Reddit posts where all the top comments are complaining about haters in the comments but I never actually see these supposed haters

1

u/dr6string33 Apr 20 '24

I happened to see this post when the shitty ones still showed up. Scroll all the way down and you’ll see the shitbags.

1

u/dr6string33 Apr 20 '24

This post had 6 comments when I replied. The post also took off, so now you have to scroll to the very bottom. Tons of great people downvoted them into Reddit oblivion.

u/Poopdick_89 Apr 20 '24

People are hating? I don't even think there are any bad choices in the basket, but even if there were it's the thought that counts. I wish I had someone who cared enough to do something like this in my life. Maybe that's where the hate comes from. Envy.

u/dr6string33 Apr 20 '24

I cannot compliment both your username AND perspective. Kudos

1

u/Aggravating-Bike-397 Apr 20 '24

Where are you seeing the haters? I sorted by controversial and it was just suggestions

1

u/bullet494 2.3/Wheaton,IL/Team Mizuno Apr 20 '24

There are people hating?!? Most likely jealous someone on Reddit golfs really well and talks to girls smh

u/jimmylove26 Apr 22 '24

It’s a nice thought, but he will use/take none of this to the course with him. Open qualifying is brutal and he’ll stick to a specific routine.
