Frequently Asked Questions.
These are frequently asked.
How do I know if I’m rich enough to be a Rich Golf Guy?
Do you have at least three good friends, a set of golf clubs, and a decent sense of humor? Do you not take yourself too seriously? Do you enjoy being your true self around other’s true selves? If so, you are wealthier than most!
Can I bring my accountant to the course to help me calculate my strokes?
Only if your accountant can also double as your caddie or as Rich Golf Guy himself and if your accountant is not afraid of carrying your emotional baggage along with your clubs.
Can I be a Rich Golf Guy if I am broke?
As long as you are rich in spirit and can afford a good time, you’re a Rich Golf Guy. We believe in a wealth of memories, not bank account balances.
Is there a secret handshake or secret golf swing?
The secret is out - it’s neither. But if you can perfect the “Oops, I meant to do that” swing, you’re in. Needless to say, any group of Rich Golf Guys will be rich in rituals eventually - if you so desire, that may well include secret handshakes.
Do I need to have a low handicap to become a Rich Golf Guy?
Only if you consider “low handicap” as having low expectations for your score and high expectations for a good time.
Are we allowed to heckle other Rich Golf Guys on the course?
Heckling is not only allowed, it’s encouraged and very much the true mark of any Rich Golf Guy. Just remember: Karma is real and the next shank might be yours.
What happens to my Rich Golf Guy status if I hit more sand and rough than fairway?
Congratulations! Provided you have friends to laugh about it with, your Rich Golf Guy status has just been elevated!
How do you measure success as a Rich Golf Guy?
Success is measured in laughs per round, the number of inside jokes created, the number of times nature was observed (“I think your ball disappeared behind those cottonwoods over there.”), and how often you forgot what you shot because you were having too much fun.
Can I still care about the quality of my game? Can I get angry?
The “Golf” part of Rich Golf Guys is serious business. As a matter of fact, Rich Golf Guys embrace the raw emotion that follows a shank, a hosel rocket, a line-drive into the neighboring fairway, an overshot green, or an inescapable bunker lie. Denying yourself of the frustration and rage would decrease your Rich Golf Guy status immediately.
However, there is an art to this, expected to be perfected both from you the sufferer, as from your group. Head over to our Philosophy page to learn more and keep the phrase “Sounds of Nature” in mind.
Can I bring my non-golfing friends along?
Absolutely! Rich Golf Guys is not a private club! As long as they’re ready to be the official scorekeeper, photographer, and joke target, they’re more than welcome.
Do Rich Golf Guys only exist on the course?
The golf courses of Colorado, with their unparalleled natural beauty, have inspired the Rich Golf Guy Philosophy, and most golf courses will provide the canvas on which this Philosophy’s essence easily finds purchase.
However, especially mature Rich Golf Guy groups will find other grounds on which to cultivate wealth: We have succeeded in Bowling Alleys and on Pickleball Courts, and of course in Mexican Restaurants, Pizza Joints, and Brewpubs. Card Tables in basements or garages, balconies, decks, and terraces (with views, if possible), are all fertile grounds for wealth creation.
