Well the following morning at the local breakfast house we have gone to every morning we had this nice waitress (I still remember her name .. Tina) did a wonderful job and had pleasant attitude, even with a 12 golfing smart@sses. So those of us who won left her our winnings from the prior day. The bill was about $70 for all of us and left her a $240 tip. She actually started crying when we told her to keep the change. She was having a bad week so to speak and was not sure how she was going to make it this month.
Needless to say when we arrived the next morning ,our last day there, we were met like Kings from the waiting staff. Manager came out to meet us the next morning and said we all had breakfast on the house. Tina was waitress again and told us not to leave a tip for today. We still left her 20% of what we ordered.

Very cool. That's a great story.
I've been on some golf trips like that. We were always a pain in the ass to wait on but also very free with our money. Funny how golf, alcohol and being away from home will do that, huh? I guess throwing some cash around is part of relaxing.
