I hope that didn’t hurk much.

Just goes to show you, no matter how boring golf is, no one should take a nap too close to the course.

Usually it’s people who go to the John.

This time John came to them

It must have been quite disturbing to John for him to go to all that trouble (all the way) just to return the “favor”.

This is a cartoon. We should have seen a big bump rising up on his head.

Now this one is a real LOL.

Me always knews golf is eevil.

The basic definition of mulligan, a term most associated with golf, is a “do-over,” a second try after your first has gone awry.

David Bernard Mulligan, a Canadian amateur golfer and hotelier who may have made the term famous in the 1920s.

One day Mulligan hit a poor drive off the first tee, then simply re-teed and hit another ball, telling his amused playing partners that he had taken a “correction shot.” That “correction shot” soon became known as “taking a mulligan.”

Some golfers limit the use of mulligans to the first tee only, or to the first and 10th tees only. Some golfers use one mulligan per nine holes, but anywhere on each nine. It’s most common for mulligans to be used only off the tee, i.e., you can only use a mulligan to replay a drive.

Mulligans are definitely, absolutely not allowed under the Rules of Golf. If you’re playing in a competition governed by the Rules of Golf, mulligans aren’t allowed. In fact, that term is not even in the rule book.

Plus, turtle spit makes for a longer flight.

Rule 9.6 Ball Lifted or Moved by Outside InfluenceIf it is known or virtually certain that an outside influence lifted or moved your ball there is no penalty. The ball must be replaced on its original spot (which if not known must be estimated).

I’m not sure, but I’m thinking I might just ask for a hole in one on that one. The retrieval/reset nature of the course is not the point.

LOL!

At least he didn’t lose his ball.

Play it as it hurks… ⛳

Thet thar is one determined critter.

Spike?

Mulligan – one more chance to hit twenty yard grounder.

i remember reading about an experiment in behavior where they tried to teach birds, crows i think, to find money and bring it back to central point to get rewarded with food for putting in receptor. never amounted to much in monetary terms because the birds brought a lot of shiny junk, and psychologist on project explained as many people that drop money pick it up (except for minor amounts like pennies) so there was never much cash left around for birds to find.

it would be fun to train birds and other animals around golf course to steal balls, and get birds to snatch them and dive bomb golfers with their own balls. imagine doing it around donnie d. chumps golf courses

News announcer: “And in the stranger news today, it has been reported that the former president was pummeled by over 27 golf balls, and get this, it was done by local wildlife, namely birds.”

Thank you, John! BC has a headache.
