I've had one partner with a shorter captains meeting than mine this year. Mine: "Make sure your teammates have their earrings out. Help us with sportsmanship by taking care of your teammates so we don't have to."
His: "Put the ball in the hole and lets play ball."

I've also had the guy who needs to point to every line in the captains meeting and then explain the CE rule to the coaches. He's a great partner in spite of that though, so I learned that a long winded captains/coaches meeting does not necessarily mean a long game.

ROTFLMAO!
