“...LAW 3: Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic...”
Playing a work league match, I had a shot over water about 160 yards to the green...As I was getting ready to hit, one of my opponents said “Why don’t you hit an old ball?”
I just looked back down, swung and hit my shot about 5 yards short into the water...I looked over to my opponent and said “I can’t keep any balls long enough for them to get old...”
The same opponent in my #10 post was getting ready to putt...
His partner was next to me and started saying something to me...
The putter backed away and said to us, “I’m so sorry that my putting is interfering with your talking...”
We both sheepishly apologized....
That is why I always wandered off into the rough to find balls I could afford to lose.
