Drabble by Kevin Fagan for June 23, 2024

Quit!

I haven’t been to Sams Club or Home Depot in awhile, I went last weekend and a Pro golf store took over a HUGE Goodwill store. I guess Goodwill expanded and the Golf shop sells enough to support their new store

It’s not the club’s fault you are a poor shot.

Golf is flog spelled backwards.

How Costner of you Ralph.

Visit B.C.. . .you can get help there. . .

I’d break it, too. There of no use to idiots.

The great golfer Tommy Bolt was a well-known club breaker and this line was reputedly uttered to him by his caddie on a really bad day.

No coughing but a lotta hacking.

Not unlike my feeble attempts to play golf. But I never broke a club. The golf course rented them to me so I’d have been charged for it.

I haven’t seen a good SPLOOSH in a while.

No wonder golf is so expensive.

Lots of good sound effects when Ralph plays!

But, the expletives are missing.

Hope those weren’t rentals.

I’ve never understood the attraction of golf. Or curling. They’re both of Scottish origin. I think it shows the Scotts weren’t very good at games.

Or music. Bagpipes! Or Clothing. Kilts!

At least he knows how to stay on budget.

No wonder golf is a four-letter word, huh?

I can relate … I’ve played all my life.

New clubs here can cost almost $AU 200-00 each. And that was a few years ago.

I sort of learned how to play golf in high school (girl’s) gym class, but we played in the gym using bouffant doll wigs (Barbie size) as tees.

Husband and I went to stay at an upstate NY large hotel which had a golf course while we were dating. His dad had him take golf lessons – “very important for business to know how to play”.

So with his one bag of clubs we started out to play golf at the hotel. We went to the 9 hole course – “anyone serious about playing will be on the main course so we won’t annoy anyone too much”. Somehow we lost a hole – teed up at one hole, ended playing at the hole at the next hole?

I think when his parents’ house was sold he took the clubs here – but not sure. But one game in just under the 50 years we have been together – pretty sure there will not be another.
