GOLF.....An egregious misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
In ancient times men who screamed wildly, jumped up and down and beat the ground with sticks were called “witch doctors”. Now they are called “golfers”. Sorry to say...I have that witch doctor blood too. Problem is those great shots every blue moon keep me playing. Another dozen please.
I don't see much of that going on at the public courses I play..
Is it any coincidence that a bottle of Scotch is 18 shots?
Best commentary on the invention of golf, brought to you by the late, great Robin Williams. (Clean version)

Lee Trevino once counseled that “if caught in lightning, hold a 1-iron over your head”. When asked why, he replied “not even God can hit the 1-iron”.
So in future... if you wish to share an email, hit reply. Find and replace the "." with < P > (no spaces) and cut and paste that. It will be readable.
(In this case I would have replaced the > > marker.)

Best game ever.....very challenging.......a savior for many during COVID......which prompted a rebirth of popularity....teaches all the right stuff.
Star athletes love golf and made it cool. Best game ever.

If you ask all the top athletes in basically every sport and they were asked which athlete you would change places with, basically all of them would have answered Tiger Woods in his prime.

Because of his game or because of his girls?
The local Target has golf balls in spider-wraps. (anti-theft devices)
Funny and how true. Greatest game ever invented.
Golf is for folks who do not grasp the fact that the out of doors is far larger than the confines of 18 holes
Two biggest wastes of real estate: golf courses and cemeteries (Caddyshack). If you’ve never seen it before, watch the Beverly Hillbillies where Jed and Jethro go to shoot some golf. It’s on TouTube.
Some of those box of 12 balls are pushing $50 for high end ones.
At the time of Tiger’s best years, Michael Shumaker was the only athlete in the World making more money than Tiger. I wonder if he would have traded places with Tiger as well, considering the dangers involved with speed.
When will the LIV players and the PGA players start getting along?
