Who says we’re not conservation conscious?

A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a year.

That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind Of Makes You Proud!

Many true statements are included in this exhaustive research work to capture the essence of the insanity of golf:

Don’t buy a putter until you’ve had a chance to throw it.

Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.

When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

If you’re afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to c ompensate for all of your many other errors.

If it ain’t broke, try changing your grip.

Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

 This is a story about a golfer getting a hole in one on the wrong hole. With a slice of all things. I thought nothing good comes from a slice. I have come close a couple of times and seen other people come close as well. The par 4- 14th hole at the Country Cub of Missouri with a real narrow tree lined shoot to hit through. I have seen many balls ricochet off of the trees and bound onto the par 3- 15th green. I must admit I’ve done it a few times myself. And I’ve seen guys close to holing it out. But this has to be pretty rare.

“A Devon golfer got a hole-in-one - on the wrong hole.

Clive Seymour, 72, sliced his drive on the first hole at Hele Park in Newton Abbot, Devon, reports the Daily Mirror.

It swerved onto the green of the fourth hole - and dropped in the cup.

Three stunned golfers approaching the fourth green watched as his ball landed ahead of them.

Clive, who has a handicap of 24, said: “I’m afraid slicing is one of my problems.

“I really got hold of the drive but it went to the left, flew over some saplings and to the left of a big oak tree.

“I didn’t see where it disappeared but three lads on the fourth said it went straight in the hole.

“You could have knocked me down with a feather.”

Retired carpenter Clive, of Paignton, added: “People are saying I’ve scored the world’s first hole-in-the-wrong-one.”

Club director Duncan Arnold said: “It was unconventional, but still impressive. A hole in one - at any hole - is still a dream for many golfers.”

Dear Mr. Hole-in-OneNews.com,

I’ve never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs……… phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, “Just some friends from work, you don’t know them.” I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn’t want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.

Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with “the girls”. It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the club head. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where bought it?

Anxiously awaiting your response!!

Let’s give him some good responses!

A friend sent this to me today. Based on these numbers, and my handicap of about 5, Tiger would have to give me 18.75 shots!

If Tiger Woods played you, how many strokes would he be giving up to
make a fair match? The answer may shock you.

You may consider yourself a fine player with your 3 handicap.
Or perhaps you frequently play to your 15 handicap. You may even
think that Tiger Woods could spot you a stroke per hole and you’d
have a close match.

While Vijay Singh is an incredible talent his prickliness with the media is well documented. And sometimes hilarious. This blog post from Golfweek hits the spot.

“Funny story about Vijay Singh and Bay Hill. I was covering the tournament in 1993, before Vijay Singh was Vijay Singh, if you know what I mean. Nobody really knew much about him, but Arnold Palmer had extended an invitation to Singh to come play what was then called the Nestle Invitational.
