Me too!!!
And I LOVE golf. It is a game of great integrity........for example:
****
Four golfers who like to gamble a little wind up in the same foursome. The pot builds throughout the day until they reach the 18th green, where Charlie has a chance to putt for dough. If he makes his 10-foot putt, he wins $200.
Charlie lines up his putt, but just as he's about to take his stance, a funeral procession begins passing by on the road that runs alongside the 18th hole.
Charlie steps away from his ball, sets down his putter, takes off his hat and places it over his heart, and waits for the funeral procession to completely pass. Once all the cars in the funeral procession have passed, Charlie picks up his putter and begins lining up the putt again.
"Wow," one of his opponents says. "That was the most touching thing I have ever seen. You've got a makeable putt for $200, yet you stopped and paid your respects.
You really are something."
"Well," Charlie says, "we were married for 25 years."
Hee hee. Always liked that one. All seriousness aside (as Steve Allen used to say), golf IS a game of great integrity and wonderful history. And it's great that we can see our favorites play for decades and grow old with them. Wish I could have seen Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. Those Bobby Jones instructional films the Golf Channel used to show were fun to watch. I still think none were better than Jack, except maybe Hogan, and maybe 10-15 years from now we'll say Tiger.
