Very old joke:
Q: Why did they name it "golf?"
A: Because all the other 4 letter words were taken.
Haha....I can honestly say that I’m one of the few golfers who has caught my own drive (twice)...
Once was a pop-up into a stiff breeze and the other was a ricochet off a nearby tree.
I have also hit the flagstick in two on a par five (nearly making the shot) and the ball came to rest 5 feet from the hole in two. I promptly 3 putted for par.
Gotta love the game :^)
