"only play nine holes."

That would have been my Granddad and his buddies. They once propped up another (with a heart attack) in a cart and finished the round.

Why does this sound like something from Caddyshack that ended up on the cutting room floor?

real estate agent

Guess he wasn't prepared for a downturn in this particular area of real estate.

Hit the ball, drag Edwin. Hit the ball, drag Edwin.

Kinda has that "Weekend at Bernie's" feel to it, doesn't it?

Sounds like a hazard on the second hole resulted in a bad drop.

"Does he get an award for the longest drive?"

No, but he did set a new golf cart speed record, if only momentarily...but seriously, 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.

Darwin candidate?

Why didn’t he just jump out of the cart?? I don’t get it. It’s not like he had to wrestle with getting the door open or something...[baffled]

I never liked golf. Before it was just plain boring and now it is even dangerous.

Darwin candidate?

Absolutely. Darwin let him get to the age of 65 before taking him out of the gene pool so he can no longer reproduce.

Maybe looking for his ball, and not watching what was in front of him. OOOPS!

His wife should hire John Edwards. She and Johnny will own the course!

OK?

"Pala Mesa Resort near hole 2 where a 66-year-old man was killed today when he drove his golf cart off a 70-foot-high cliff and crashed down onto Old Highway 395, authorities said."

Lawsuit will charge failure to construct guard rail at edge of cliff, not to exclude defective steering mechanism and/or brakes. Some law firm will profit, handsomely.

Until about 4 years ago, I used to feel the same the same way about golf. Then my kids talked me into trying it. It’s a great game and a fun way to spend the day, and, for the most part, people who play golf are very courteous and friendly.
