What Is This Thing Called Golf?

[Sean1]

What is golf (with apologies to Winston Churchill):

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

That is WC's description of the Soviet Union but certainly fits the Golfing bill quite nicely.

His description of Golf is

"a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose."

I take the word "weapons" to be all embracing and not just confined to inanimate items of equipment.

Either way, you are not alone with your suffering.

Look forward to hearing of your progress under Drew's tutelage.

Thanks Burner. I emailed Drew and as soon as the range is open I'll book a lesson with him. I'm looking forward to it.

By the way, I like WC's description of golf. Spoken like someone who wielded his share of "weapons".

Good luck with the lesson.

The whole world may look back and say "This was their finest HOUR", or half day or whatever.

Sir Winston asks us to be aware that "Success is never final".

Thanks OB.

Sir Winston was campaigning one time and a woman yelled from the audience:
"Sir, if you were my husband I would poison your tee!"
Sir Winston's response:
"Madam, if I were your husband I would drink it!"

“'You are drunk Sir Winston, you are disgustingly drunk. 'Yes, Mrs. Braddock, I am drunk. But you, Mrs. Braddock are ugly, and disgustingly fat. But, tomorrow morning, I, Winston Churchill will be sober.”
