Drabble by Kevin Fagan for July 15, 2023

This is why I gave up golf.

Ralph when did you stop counting how many strokes it was taking ?

Big deal, I used to shoot double par and that’s why I gave up golf.

Big deal, I used to shoot double par and that’s why I gave up golf. One time I shot a 49. Then I moved on to the third hole.

I got tired of following a golf ball around from hole to hole, especially on a hot day.

I haven’t played golf since my younger School years, mini-golf and all.

My husband builds houses for a living and at the moment we’re living in a house he built a few years back while he does some repairs on it, it’s on a golf course and the tee box for the 8th hole is straight west of our house. The course makes a big oval around the houses so in regular play everyone will be hitting balls parallel to the line of houses not towards them but we get a new golf ball in the back yard several times a month lol

which is why golf spelled backward is “flog”…

I cannot see the alure of chasing a small white ball all over the place. Makes no sense. Yet, curling is not much better.

I wasn’t quite that bad, just shy of it, but not quite.

Golf…humor.

The golf Gods were angry that day. I find that parring the first hole is a bad idea because it makes them really angry for the rest of the round.

“How was your golf game, Ralph?”

“Great! I lost my ball on the first hole…”

So, I’m guessing those are bad things in a game.

We used to have “mercy rules” in a friendly game. 7 was the highest score you would take. Pick up your ball after 7 strokes and move on to speed up play (a little) for others.

Sounds like the scores I used to have on a par 3 course in town. Also, if there’s a water hazard I can’t miss it.

If I knew anything about golf this might be funny

What do you call 12 strokes on a par 4?

I suspect the only reason why some people still play is because they spent all that money on the clubs and stuff.

play it again sam

She’s just glad he didn’t take a turn for the nurse!

I just watched the video of Trump shanking his shot to the extreme right and I think he got a hole in one on the hole. LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx782vGn1zw The Greatest Golfer ever

Sounds more like he had a cold
