In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for December 31, 2022

It sends me flying.

Have you never been teed off? Weren’t you ever good enough?

It’s a sudden, huge pain in the rear, then you’re flying, (which is really fun, to be honest), then you usually come down in the water, or amid some trees, or the parking lot, or somebody’s window.

It really hurts, Doc, I have the bruises to prove it! It’s brutal and the players are relentless!

HAPPY NEW YEAR‼️

I have put more “smiles” (or “frowns”) on my golf balls than i care to count.

“Let me get a club and I’ll show you personally Doc!”

He’s felling quite divoted

“He/she puts me on a pedestal just to smack me.”

I’m driven to succeed. :)

All the doc knows is puttering around.

“I’m always being smacked around. No appreciation. No matter how far I go for them.”

First they draw a line on Me with indelible ink , then Wack me with the wrong iron , Hooked right into a sand trap , sand wedged into a penalty area finally 4 putted on the green , and that was only the first par 3 , sheesh !

I can’t decide if it’d be weirder for that to be a window or a painting.

“how would you feel Doc if you had been hooked, sliced, topped and almost drowned —all on the first hole!”

You mean you don’t know.

That golf club is driving him absolutely mad. He can’t get rid of the anger.. it’s got him hooked.
