Is that sextant gonna help?

Don’t forget to factor in the Coriolis force.

The Fink may be an engineer but he’s definitely not civil.

10 to 1 he still misses.

Word of advice Wiz let the King win !!!!

This scenario looks somehow like when we were on the Swabian Alb in 8th grade for field work in field measurement. Except we did not have a hole and flag. What we had was a bunch of odd characters and about 30 different looking maps at the end of the two weeks. And none looking similar to the place we measured :-D But it was mostly great fun.

“A good walk ruined.”

The King wants to improve his handicap and we know things like that can be of national importance more so than inflation and the open border. FORE!

“Drive for show, putt for dough.”

It might be wise to give him this putt.

The science in golf!!!!!

All that trouble and nonsense. The Wiz can easily beat him with his magical skills.

Why is Rodney standing off the green? As caddies, we always put the flagstick on top of our shoes. And held the flag to keep any wind from blowing it.

Is he playing Trump or something?!

Under the rules of golf, the surveyor’s transit is legal, but the plumb bob is not. However, he could use a golf club as a plumb bob.

Is that a plumb, Bob?

I like aligning my club with the ball and hole, like a reference line or something. I’m too competitive.

Government safety regulations.

But will he carry his own bag of clubs?

Using a paint roller is really going to help this shot. :) :) :)

I’m remembering a M*A*S*H episode with a newsreel showing a celebrity golf tournament, with Bob Hope lying on the ground to line up his shot, then tapping it in as though he were playing pool.
