The best thing about golf is the anticipation.
You whack a ball and there's a moment when you just don't know how you've hit it, or where it's going to land.
I'm going for a hit today, so hope you all have a lovely day.
My regular golf partner went to work overseas a couple of years ago, I find it difficult to play golf with others because I can't abide cheats.
If you hit 4, write 4.
Funny story
My uncle was a terrible cheat, a treasure of a man, but a terrible cheat.
Anyhoo, his son in law was a stickler for the rules, and was a real pain.
So when the three of us played, it was nothing but arguments and insults.
One day, it started raining, I'm a fair weather player and wanted to quit, but my uncle and my brother in law wanted to continue.
On the 14th hole there is a water trap, just before the green.
It's not a particularly hard shot, iron , lop it over the trap and onto the green.
Well the uncle took aim and had a swing, but the club slipped in his hand and flew majestically into a pine tree to one side, the ball, into the trap.
Brother in law started laughing
Uncle grabbed another iron and threw it at his treed iron in an attempt to knock it down
Two irons in tree.
Brother in law laughing so hard he falls over
Uncle decides to climb tree
I talk the 70 year old out of it and climb it myself, shake the tree, both irons fall down.
Uncle walks around water trap and "finds" his ball on the other side.
Brother in law goes ape, I crack up, other golfers tell us to putt out.
Brother in law can't put he is so anger, 5 shots later he picks up ball and calls it quits
Uncle takes 4 and writes 3 total, good par.
I putt 3 and write , bogie
I crack up all the way home while uncle and brother in law argue.
They really are fun to play golf with.
