that’s not a bad idea, but it would be tough to resell the golf bags if they are leather, get them wet and they get nasty

I would help feed the piggy bank, except I changed what I carry in the bag. Instead of 14 clubs, I carry 13 and a 12 gauge shotgun. When the ball starts to go the wrong way I whip out the 12 gauge and smoke it. Impossible lie, get to shoot again without penalty! Skeet Golf!!!!

JFri:
do you yell FORE or PULL?

The bag resembles a wooden wine barrel. Clearly this guy was unhappy with the wine. May have found out that the water that turned into wine came from the six pots of cleansing in the system they set up post-Torah.
He’s not a real golfer because all real golfers know they are all losers unless they can shoot an18 for 18. Anything more leaves room for improvement. The sign is there just to have the CC profit from his frustration. Too tired to fall for that.
Bowling is easier. Lots have accomplished 300. Not even Tiger has shot an 18 yet.

echo, echo……
I once knew a girl named echo…. and her name was self prophecying. She would say: My name is Echo. The other would say ‘Echo?’
Need i say more.
Isn’t a shooter a really big, neat marble? Fore sounds like a safer call than pull. Pulling can hurt - escpecially in a dentists chair. Just ask the Bumble. (rudolph type)

And beeing hit by a golfball also hurts - even if the person tries to warn you by yelling ‘Fore’.
I once got hit by a three iron shot out of the woods by a superbear. I couldn’t stop from laughing because everyone else was - but the underlying pain was REAL!
Superbear was his nickname. I must keep his identity secret or some attorney may try to get me to sue him for damages. That would be a crime - to sue a friend.

And once i got chased by bees, left the cart and ran to the next hole, swinging my club at the bees.
I obviously have fully recovered from my fear of bees.
And i was golfing against a guy nicknamed ‘bumblebee’.
Now, hows that for a 9 - irony?

We used to have an old codger who put on chest waders and would “fish for golf balls in the water hazard hidden from view of the club house. At today’s prices, not a bad idea.

Isn’t that stealing? Just wondering. If he felt he had to hide he probably knew it was wrong.
Sometimes, I can be serious.
