    A golfer is waiting for his buddy to tee up on the 18th hole. The buddy is taking his time, adjusting his stance, grip, etc.
    His impatient friend says "Will you hurry up and just hit the ball already."
    Buddy replies, "Don't rush me. My wife is watching from the clubhouse and I want to make sure this shot is just right."
    "Forget it," replies his friend, "you'll never hit her from here."

    You have no idea just how close to the mark that is

    I played for a while then wandered off leaving two semi-exhausted dogs to fetch the balls back for my partner. It took him just 3 swings to hit Naburn the dog on his leg.

    Ching, thud, yelp.

    Result? A lame dog (who luckily holds no grudge), a golf ban and an annoyed Hazell (who holds a grudge very well, thank you!).

    I'm rubbish at driving, by the way. Rubbish

    I find that I can hit the ball perfectly straight, just over there; or twat it for miles in a totally random direction.

    If I could only combine the two I'd be brilliant!

    I had a go once but I couldn't for the life of me hit the ball So I gave up and went to the bar instead.

    Golf ruins a good walk if you ask me. Golf is one of the only sports I really just don't understand.

    Very character building

    First of all, you have to learn how to drive (with the wood) by tee-ing off. This is a great example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s50K65PNeBU
    Then there is the terminology. Before you drive you have to scream out "FORE"; then after you drive and check where your ball has gone, you have to mutter "Ah! Shyte"

    Now after you have learned to master the first swing in golf, I'll come to the second lesson. OK??
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    Walking a golf course near Orlando (just walking with some players) sign said "Before stepping over a log check that there is not a snake on the other side. Also be very sure it really is a log."
    Who said golf was not a dangerous sport?
