Chip Shots: S.G.O.Y.M.B.

August 7, 2012 | By Tom Treloar | 2 Comments

So you’re probably scratching your head, wondering what the hell “S.G.O.Y.M.B.” stands for. Give up? How about: Satisfaction Guaranteed Or Your Money Back.

Ever wonder if golf courses would do this? Lets say you play a course with terrible grooming (see photo). How about poor hospitality? Or a 6-hour round because of no rangers?

Would you be more tempted to play a course knowing if it did not live up to your expectations you could get a refund? Should golf courses be held to certain standards or is this just the risk you take in playing golf?

    I know my dog tracks, that’s #8 at The Wheel’s Black Course. Ugh, what I pile. 36 holes of golf hell. Both of those tracks look up to mediocrity. Blind golfers (god bless ’em) stand on the first tee and ask each other “Would you just hear around at this piece of garbage?”

    Give that man a cigar! Indeed that photo is from the Black Course at Fairchild Wheeler. The Golfstinks crew has played a plethora of courses over the years and both tracks at the Wheel (though the Black is worse) are amongst the shabbiest we’ve seen!
