Group not sure to be terrified or unbothered by guy pulling out a 1990’s Driver

SENSIBLE GULLY, UK – A local foursome was thrown into psychological disarray Saturday morning after witnessing a fellow golfer casually pull a 1990s-era driver from his bag, prompting immediate debate over whether they were about to be humiliated or deeply entertained.

The man, identified only as “The Single,” arrived at the first tee wearing cargo shorts, a visor from a defunct insurance company and wielding a TaylorMade Burner with Bubble Shaft that looked like it had survived both Y2K and a garage flood.

“We saw that driver and just froze,” said group member Jason McShanks “It’s either a sign he’s a retired scratch golfer who once beat Tiger in a college qualifier, or he plays once every six years and thinks grooves are a myth.”

The group reportedly spent the next five minutes analysing the single’s body language, alarming grip pressure, and whether his shoes had actual spikes or just dirt from 2003.

“He warmed up by doing that weird shoulder roll thing and then took a practice swing that somehow made literally no sound.”

Golf historians note that the 1990s driver is a known wildcard in the sport, often wielded by either former mini-tour legends or thrifty men who think rangefinders are “an unproven placebo.”

“We’re just going to keep watching,” said Jason. “He’s going to shoot 68 or 108. Either way, I’m not game enough to propose any wagers.”
