B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for August 18, 2024

A game where you have to hit the bejeezus out of a little ball is about tranquility. Right.

“A great way to spoil a pleasant walk.”

A good walk spoiled

Back then it was called GOOF. Then they said the “L” with it. ;-)

And of course, golf spelled backwards is FLOG!

Invented by the Scottish, a people renown for their serenity and placid nature.

All’s right with the world when they can still water the green grass on the golf course even though there was a killer heat wave all this week killing off all the vegetation on the Sahara Desert!

Okay Ball, … now take a peace of this and a peace of this and … And I’ll take a peace of that … And you get another peace of this …

Golf? AAAAARRRGGGHHH!

Golf is a game based in tranquility, and he’s over the moon about it.

If you’d like a good laugh today, google Robin Williams / Golf. You’ll have tears in your eyes from laughing so hard.

I gave it up when it stopped being fun.

The Eagle has landed or in this case the Double Bogey.

Giving golf a bad name. The greatest game ever invented. You can play your entire lifetime. Beautiful settings. Fresh air. Endless variety of courses. A handicap system allows all skill levels to compete. Call penalties on your self. You can play alone or with a group.

Golf was invented by the Scottish as their revenge on the English.

You know why it’s called “golf?” All the other four letter words were taken.

……..who seeze?

Where is the customary swearing?

Gold was in the Olympics, but no extra points were given to golfers who got p*ssed and threw their clubs

It really is. The disturbances are all in one’s head.

I know in cricket we go down the pitch to hit the ball hard. I didn’t know you could do that in golf as well.

Yeah, it looks it…

Not really meant to be an Olypic sport either.

That would be my luck.

Well, B. C. sure looks like he’ll need a tranquilizer after this…!

Define Tranquility? ☹️

To each his own, methinks!

“Houston,” Armstrong said. “Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed.” The same year we decided to return to God’s Country from the Flatland with one more baby. Bye-Bye Bell Labs, ironically to return many times during my career.

If you say so.

B.C. isn’t the only one with golf "problem. PGA golfer Sam Burns pulled his tee shot on the ninth hole on Saturday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind. He took it out on his driver by destroying it. I don’t know if he cursed but they say “action speaks louder than words”.

Robin Williams tells a great story of how golf was invented.

Had a coach that loved golf so we had to play during PE ….. I apparently showed a lot less then most for enthusiasm …… the second time he commented to me that I seemed “NOT” to like playing ………. I answered that I didn’t see the fun in chasing a little white ball across a cow pasture …………… He excused me ……….. from the class ……… :)

I ran into a Scotsman playing the bagpipes. I asked him if it was some kind of weird Scottish joke. He said, “No lad. That’d be golf!”

It truly IS possible to play golf, and relax, if done correctly. I never officially learned, but, I can do okay. But, the biggest reason I can relax, and enjoy it is, I almost always played alone, so the only one I have to beat, is myself, and I don’t care. I just loved the walk, the peace, and quiet, and the sounds of the wind, and the birds.

Golf brings out the worst in many people. I’m not sure if they’re just not many assaults on golf courses or the media is in the pocket of the PGA.

I never get upset, whenever I am playing golf. When I play with friends, we congratulation each other on good shots and commensurate with a can of beer, when the shot is bad. No one yells, throws clubs, or gets mad. It is a lot of fun and one of these days we may be able to play without the two six packs of iced cans of Blue Moon that we have in the cooler. Naw! That makes sure that our wives pick us up at the club for lunch.

Among my three oak trees, I have eight birdies, an eagle, and a hole in one.
