Somebody who schooled me on the golf course

Hi teachers.

I have come across this expression in my textbook and the book says you use this expression when you introduce your fellow copetitor.

Can you explain this?

Thanks in advance.

To school someone has lately come to mean that you defeated him so badly that he was placed in the role of student to your master. Somebody who schooled you on the golf course easily beat you by many strokes. The literal meaning of schooling someone is to teach him.
