Chad from Sales got left at the starter hut when the group chat went quiet. He still showed up. He still has a sleeve of Pro V1s. He still has a story about Q4 that somehow connects to course management.
Chad buys gear the way other people buy optimism: frequently, publicly, and with a receipt he hopes nobody finds. Laser, watch, phone app — all disagree by four yards, all are "for practice rounds only." He will offer to buy the first round of range tokens. He will also take a call on the tee about a client named Derek.
Underneath the hustle is a soft spot: Chad loves being invited. Being bailed on hurt. Being absorbed by a random threesome healed it in four holes. He will remember your name wrong and your birdie forever.
