Florida Supreme Court Challenges New Jersey Supreme Court to Round of Golf.

Florida Supreme Court Challenges New Jersey Supreme Court to Round of Golf.

Talahassee

In a show of inter-judiciary support, Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Harry Lee Anstead today sent a light hearted invitation to a round of golf to New Jersey Chief Justice Deborah T. Poritz.

"In light of recent developments," Anstead wrote "we think you may want to get out of town for a few days." New Jersey court officials believe Anstead may be referring to the upcoming October 7th Troise v. Extel Communications case.

"That's gotta be what they're talkin' about," said Vito Vianello, a spokesman for the court.

After rousing the napping Chief Justice Poritz, Vianello mentioned that there were still a few details to iron out before the match could be finalized. "We don't want to rush a decision, y'know what I'm sayin'? I mean, there's seven of us, and seven of them. That's like five foursomes. It sounds pretty complicated."

Anstead proposed that the rules of golf be followed, and that no substitutions of players be allowed after the 9th hole. New Jersey justice Zazzali reacted favorably saying "Great! That means I can have Tiger Woods take over for me on 14, just in case I'm not hitting them well."

The two courts are now attempting to agree on who will keep score, with Florida suggesting representatives from Dade County, and New Jersey proposing a score keeper from thier staff of clerks. "I don't see what the big deal is about a score keeper," remarked Zazzali "We count stuff here all the time, how hard can it be?"

The match is scheduled to take place sometime after the November 5th election.

25 holes so you can excuse 7 holes pars don't count for anything the team with the most votes wins regardless of score

Chief Justice Poritz:

"I think we should interpret Par 3 holes liberally. We must weigh the need for administrative niceties such as scorecards against the players' need to get par. The clear intent of the rule is that this hole should be considered slightly more inclusive than the others. So what do you think? Can a 7 be a par on this hole? Is it doable? Help me craft a remedy!"

May all 14 of them be given their pink slips at the ninth hole.

Hmm, maybe 12 holes and then we can extrapolate the intent of the course designer in tallying the final score.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the male justices secretly wear pink slips.

Yes, but undercover with a videocam so he can document all the creative counting.

What if someone hits the pin? Should that count as in the hole?

Hey, you'll have to ask the great legal minds of NJ about that one. It's too technical for me. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be counterbalancing in that question.

Lemme check the rulebook.

Ah, here we go.

"If it hits da pin,
It mus' go in!"

Hmm. Sounds like its open to interpretation to me.
