So, I'm playing my local course and a guy comes out of nowhere and jumps ahead of me. But then when I roll up to the tee pad he is waiting for me to go through. Okay good I think. But when I look on the picnic bench there sits a champ teebird that I lost a few months ago.
I picked it up and told him it was mine...here look at the signature on the rest of my discs...and he goes "you just think I'm going to give you that?". I stuck it in my bag and started to throw my drive. I said that you can't give someone what already belongs to them.
He said it was his only driver and he offered to trade me the only putter he had. I said no get out of here. Then he asked if he could just use it the rest of the day. LOL. It was obvious he was a beginner and really confused about why I would take his disc.
But then my better angel came out and just told him to keep it. I even flagged him down later in the round to apologize for being a DB about a disc.
I'm sitting here wondering if I'm just a sucker for a sad story or if letting him keep the disc was actually the right thing to do in the situation. He seemed to need the disc more than I did.
What would you guys do?
