Easy Parts
If you were expecting this C link but got 3 door card plates let me know. I know Jim will make it right. I thought the package felt heavy:>) My good laugh of the morning.

It is an age thing Adam. You will understand in a couple decades. " A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work."

Jim is a prize, as is my wife, and both of them leave me wondering why intelligent people wander about a lawn smacking worms and other creatures living there.

Golf course; big waste of a perfectly good shooting range.

Re: Easy Parts
I have the answer. Turn golf courses in to cemeteries and leave the golf course as part of it then put a road race race track through it. Much more useful way to use the space. It would also make golf more interesting especially during funerals. Plenty of places to sit and watch both golf and the race. You could have tomb traps as well as sand traps. You could have a road race track in every town which would give all the frustrated street racers a place to go kill themselves and be buried all in one place.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Re: Easy Parts
I played golf a lot in college, when I had a lot more time, and then after, but after Dr. Wright died, so did most of desire to waste a whole day.

Re: Easy Parts
Paul,since I am up North in Michigan golfing all weekend,they can be as brutal as they like. I am having fun retired so I get the last laugh. And I never golfed until I was 57.

Re: Easy Parts
When you drive onto Pebble Beach it is a what????? Not a shooting range!
Doug,
Tell us why there are 18 holes at a golf course.
hint:
Golf originated where?
They drink what?
How many shots are there in a bottle?
Next these old experts will complain about baseball. Why Do They Play nine innings in a regular baseball game?
It is Hot in So Cal and time to go outside.

Re: Easy Parts
A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession (with a few 356's in the procession*) on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.
His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”
The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

Re: Easy Parts
I thought a golf course was a shooting range, I dont know how many times where Ive read "So and so shot 68 today at such and such golf tournament!"

Re: Easy Parts
You know why they call it "golf"? Because all the other 4-letter words were taken!

Re: Easy Parts
I played four rounds in 3 days but score of 68 was usually by about the 13th hole. I didn't start golfing until I was 57 and amsure I will never shoot 68 for 18 holes. Shot it for 9 holes a few times the first 2 years I played though.I think the question of why 18 holes was answered in the hints you gave. How many shots in a bottle:>) Doubt that is true but I also have heard that,but am unwilling to measure out the number of shots in my Clontarf Irish Whiskey bottle. Plus who knows how large a bottle of Scotch Whiskey was in the 1500's. Plus even St Andrews didn't have 18 holes until the mid to late 1700's. http://www.scottishgolfhistory.org/orig ... ole-round/ So the # of shots in a Whiskey bottle being the reason golf has 18 holes is one of those quaint Urban Legends. Sounds good but doesn't fit the facts.
