I hate to say it but I’m with Andy on this one. There’s nothing more boring than having to listen to someone rehashing ( stroke by stroke) their golf game – unless, that is, you’re the one doing the rehashing. BTW my ’andy capp is every club in the bag.
I understand the jokes about golf, but if you’ve never played, you just can’t understand. The game is so damned difficult to play well, and when you do manage to do something right, the sense of accomplishment is extremely gratifying.
There has to be a law of cricket to prohibit getting the wife to do your fielding for you…. and in the second cartoon, knocking it out of the ground is an automatic six that doesn.t necessarily accrue more runs… unless the batting team figure out the ball landed in the pub, it’s six on the clock and remins six, the game is suspended till the ball returns. So Andy’s interpretation of batting a six is perhaps “six pints, then I send the ball back”?
Hmmm…. Flo cannot field on Andy’s behalf except with the prior consent of both umpires and the opposing side’s captain…. interestingly, the Laws of Cricket seem not to prohibit mixed teams, so the fact she is a woman doesn’t signify as it would in other sports. (Laws 1, 2, 41)
Andy is perfectly entitled to nip off for a pint, as long as he is gone for no longer than 15 minutes, in which case he has wilfully absented himself from the game and both umpires need to officially permit him to return….

This one isn’t about Golf but Andy still has a shocking temper.

It’s been my experience that you meet the most interesting people in pubs and bars…

Andy must be flush; he didn’t even work the bloke for a pint.
