'Had To Throw A Few Back' - Jordan Spieth Decided The Only Way To Relax After Dealing With Oakmont And The US Open Was Crushing Beers And Wings
I won't do the one of us things because, again, pro golfers are not like us. They are (mostly) multi-millionaires who are professional athletes. We go play on the weekend and maybe a league night if you're lucky enough. If you're also lucky enough you're consistently shooting what you want or your target score and I can guarantee that no one reading this is doing that. So instead you deal with the bad rounds different ways. Some guys want to go right back out and play the next day. Others just refuse to talk about the round, try to bury it and move on.
Then there's the rest of us, the normal ones. You walk into the clubhouse with your group, immediately order a bucket of beers and something like wings to get over it. It's the red-blooded American way to deal with getting your shit kicked in on the golf course. There's also nothing better than wings and beer. It's a staple, it's the comfort food for guys that we crave no matter the time of the year. I know we think about it for football season more often than not, but you give me wings and beer in the dead of winter or the hottest day in the summer and I'm going to be happy.
I will say this, Jordan Spieth is toeing a fine line there with his last part of the story. He's 31, that's right around the age where that one last wing or one last beer will destroy you in the morning. Not saying you'll feel like death, but you're going to have to shit your brains out and need the extra 30 minutes. Smart way to get over Oakmont though. Sometimes you gotta get back to the basics of wings and beers, even if you're as rich as Jordan Spieth.
