Who plays Golf ? Poll.

[Iain]

Used to play golf but discovered fly fishing, a much more efficient means of disposing of surplus income in a shorter space of time.
Average trout for me costs about $5000.00 per Kg with trips to NZ, Eucumbene etc etc.
And I get to fall into hidden holes and get free swimming lessons too, can't do that with golf

Sturdee and Rocker, yes you're correct that she can have no more than 14 in the bag but that doesn't stop her from having 140 at home in the cupboard

[Sturdee]

Darren


You're a woodworker so get out your saw and hammer and nails and alter the cupboard so she can only store 14 clubs at home.

WOO HOO!!!

The missus got me a 425cc Wilson Deep Red driver for Christmas. If only I could get a day off to go have a hit with it.

I hear god things about the wilson deep red. supposedly the 11 degree loft gives the greatest distance... I've got some callaway hawkeyes meself.

you gotta get the wife involved - you'll get plenty of golf in....

[DanP]

Zed,

The wife is involved. Took her out for a hit when we first moved to Cobram. She loved it and improved all the time. (Her only goal is to beat me). We played together regularly until she was too preggers to play. Bubs is six weeks old today so the other half is going to the Doc soon to get cleared to exercise. She had an emergency caesarian which has put her out of action for a bit longer than usual. Just got my membership to the Cobram-Barooga Golf Course which is great. 36 holes in great condition and reciprocals at Yarrawonga (45 holes, 20 minutes away). The Murray river region is golfing bliss.

Finally got out for a hit with the new driver and it works real well. If only I could play well to compliment it. A bit of work at the range should see me right though.

All the best,

Dan

Missus just rang me to say she's won the day today and broken the handicap down to 9. Is that good?

:confused:

[craigb]

Sounds like you're on a promise to me

[silentC]

You think so? Hope I don't have to wait 'till it gets to 8 for the next one!

Probably means I'm going to have to build a new cupboard for next lot of golf sticks. And make all the doors in the house wider.

[Zed]

9 is an excellent handicap. you should grab one while they are going )

in order to avoid a new cupboard and more golf sticks get her a "carry/stand bag" and throw her buggy away - she'll soon economise how many clubs she needs.

[silentC]

Trouble is, she frequently plays with, ehem, older ladies and more often than not one of them uses a golf cart, so she doesn't have to carry them.

Actually, she's selling some on Ebay at the moment, so that's a good sign. One is a men's Cleveland 60 deg. lob wedge, if anyone is interested.

Just stumbled across this thread and all I can say about golf is that Norman is a choker.

As for the spray that Zed gave the Pommy Housewife and her cronies more power to him. And as for Lord Lindley and the furniture he makes well Ive never seen a piece! He has a workshop is in Whitby, North Yorkshire and I knew a bloke that applied for a job there. He had to do a test that took an hour and then he was offer a job paying £4 an hour. (The shop he was in was paying £8). Lindley like the rest of the parasites he's related to reckon the opportunity to work for them should be reward enough.

Up the Republic and hit that sucker straight!

Golf! Y'know why it's called golf, do you? Because they used all the other four-letter words already.

Listen, I hate the game because it hates me! But it keeps sucking me back in! Every time I play (Play! Ha! Give me a break, how can such agony be described as play?) Every time, I hit at least one superb shot - a work of art. Something to be admired and recalled again and again. Something that, unfortunately convinces me that I can actually do it - I can play golf! So I go back and make a fool of myself and lose several balls - and curse and swear that I'll give it up. But I keep going back! I can't help it!

(It's now 13 days since I had a cigarette but I'm in control - honest!)

Col (cough, gasp, wheeze).

[John Saxton]

Hit the turf some years back(cos ER' indoors) reckoned onit bein' good exercise even with a real good set of Wilson's.

Trouble was the 19th hole along with judicious(off course) innebriatiation between holes...coulda ended up a fessional hic! had the drink not got me.

Woe and betide those that aspire to those lofty heights of golfdom be aware of the pitfalls that await them.

cheers
