Today, I've had people calling the golf course just to ask what the weather's going to be like tomorrow. I’m a golf professional, not the weather man. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a guest of the private beach club I work at asked if I could do something about the water temperature in the ocean. I laughed, thinking it was a joke. She was serious and complained to my boss, saying I was absolutely no help. FML
Today, I was hit in the head by a golf ball. I wasn't near a golf course, and nobody was anywhere in sight. I'm still trying to figure out what happened. FML
Today, my boss made me play golf with some executives of a company we're hoping to secure a business deal with, despite me having no golf training. My first swing ended up with me being rushed to the hospital. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to take an airhorn to a golf course and blow it while people were teeing off. It was very funny, until I blew the horn during some guy's backswing and his ball was shanked in my direction and hit me in the head. FML
Today, I washed my car because rain wasn't in the forecast. It started pouring before I'd even finished drying it. The weather app still insists it's "Sunny." FML
Today, I called my workplace to ask if I was going to be working, and if our store would be open. I was told that yes, we're still open, however, I can order inside, but I can’t sit in the dining room. They thought I was a customer. FML
Today, and for the past seven weeks, the weather forecast has been the same, invariably saying, "This week, it’ll be either hot or rainy, but next week it’ll be mild and sunny." I’m still waiting for "next week's” weather. FML
Today, the weather man announced that today's forecast will include heavy rain and hail in my city. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. However, my house has no roof at the moment. FML
Today, I put my car in the garage last night so it wouldn't get damaged by a huge thunderstorm. Golf clubs fell on it while it was stowed away. FML
Today, I walked into work, after having given my boss a weather prediction last week, so he could decide on which day to open a new company division. I was immediately taken aside and written up for "providing false information, adversely impacting morale". FML

What kind of golf pro are you if you can't quote Caddyshack chapter and verse? When you get asked, put on your best Carl and say, "I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff's coming down for quite a while."

I would have told them it would be raining golf balls.

They assume a professional at a golf course would be pretty keen on watching the forecast. And it's small talk. Your life is average

There are forecast sites for every outdoor hobby. They should learn them. Maybe post them somewhere.

It resonates so much for me !!! I worked in a golf club as a receptionnist for almost 8 years 1/2 and I can't count the number of times clients asked me the question !!! Like they don't have television or internet ?

I feel your pain. I work at the local newspaper and we're always getting phone calls from people wanting us to look up phone numbers... seriously, use your FREE phone book or Google it like everyone else. We're not the operator. Just because we're the newspaper doesn't mean we know everything.
