Famous People 2: Jerry Rice

I had the joy of running into a few more famous people recently, or they were lucky to see me. In this post, I anger Jerry Rice in a better post soon I anger Robin Williams.

Mr. Rice was two or three groups in front of me playing at half moon bay's old course. Great course, I blew a 4 shot lead over the final two holes, I am awesome, but that's not that interesting.

We were a few minutes early to start our round, so we drove our carts to the first tee and did some practice putting just off the tee box. (Carts are gay, anger they make you use one sometimes on these posh courses). After a few minutes of putting I went back to the cart to grab my cell phone to see if somehow a real firm had magically gotten my number and called me to offer me a real job.

My douche friend who I was playing with points to a black person and says, hey that's jerry rice, I assume every black person I see is Obama or Will Smith so I disagreed.

The black man went into the clubhouse and came out a few moments later, sure enough, Jerry Rice. I asked him to sign my golf ball, but he probably just thought I said my balls(or maybe I congratulated him on winning the election) and drove off to the tee. As he was about to hit I realized my cart was facing the wrong direction so I began to back it up to make the turn towards our tee. Rice's tee shot sprayed right almost hitting a poor mexican man working on one of the homes surrounding the course. Jerry turned, glared at me, muttered, got into his cart and drove off to his ball. I felt good about myself.
