The last time I golfed I only hit two good balls all day...and THAT was when I stepped on a rake in the sand trap.
Very old joke:
Q: Why did they name it "golf?"
A: Because all the other 4 letter words were taken.
funny story...my father-in-law played golf for the first time ever prob 40 years ago. broke 100. Went out again.....couldn't hit the ball to save his life....says he finally "just picked up the G-d---n ball and threw it". Never played again. :)
Ouch.
Golf is like a pretty lady who flirts with you, and might even let you touch her soft arm, then does a kung fu punch right in your throat.
Gotta LOVE this game!
We lived alongside a small course when I was younger. There was a guy trying to tee off one day. Couldn’t hit that ball. So we started ribbing him. He could sure throw those clubs a long way.
When I worked at a golf course during college, I saw a lady duff her tee shot off to the right ... directly into her kid’s head. It wasn’t pretty. He’s was out for quite some time and had to be taken to the hospital. I don’t think that lady ever picked up a club again.
LOL/!!!!
this vid made me utter “oh $hit,” at least a dozen times..
Tears in the eyes. I even recognized a couple of those maneuvers! :)
What makes golf hard...is the ball sits still...staring at you...chiding you like a little league catcher during your at bat...”C’mon..it’s only 240 to the green...go for it....sissy.”..”You gonna let Joe and his persimmon driver out drive you big boy.”...”I know it looks like a 6 iron to you...but the pros hit 8 iron from this distance.”
Golf ain’t about who can hit the farthest....it’s about who can finish the course with the lowest number of strokes. But most folks cannot deal with that reality.
That’s why we see grown men break 1,000 dollar drivers over their knee...Babe Ruth like swings resulting in wiffs and mishits so bad they defy physics.
The newlywed couple have just returned from their honeymoon and the husband is out in the garage cleaning his golf clubs.
The wife looks on for a while and then sighs and says “Honey, now that we're married you really don't need to go golfing any more. I think we should sell those clubs.”
Husband get a pained, horrific look on his face, to which the wife replies in a panic “Darling, whats wrong?”
Husband: “For a moment you were starting to sound like my ex-wife.”
Wife: “EX-WIFE! You never told me you were married before!”
Husband: “I wasn't!”
