Golf Trivia

 Your host here in Dublin, Ohio happens to be a great fan of golf. I truly believe it is the greatest game in the word. No cheating is allowed; honesty rules all and if one is caught he or she is banished from the club or his group in which he/she plays.

There are some common sense rules to follow when you play the most frustrating but glorious game. It's amazing to me that we can't hit a ball when it's standing still but baseball players can hit one 400 ft. when it's coming at them at 95 mph.

-Golf balls are like eggs - they're white, they're sold by the dozen, and a
week later you have to buy more.

-The pro-shop gets its name from the fact that you must have the income of
a professional golfer to buy anything in there.

-It's amazing how a golfer who never helps with house or yard work will
replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps.

-Did you ever notice that it's a lot easier to get up at 6:00 a.m. to play
golf than at 10:00 to go to church?

-It takes longer to become good at golf than it does brain surgery. On the
other hand, you seldom get to ride around in a cart, drink beer and eat hot
dogs while performing brain surgery.

-A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the
game.

-A good golf partner is one who's slightly worse than you.

-The rake is always in the other trap.

-If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life.

-If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven,
he probably shot an eight.

-Golf appeals to the child in all of us. This is proven by our frequent
inability to count past the number 5.

-It's easy to keep your ball in the fairway, if you don't care which
fairway.

-If profanity had any influence on the flight of a ball, most everyone
would play better.

-The greatest sound in golf is the "Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh" of your
opponent's club as he hurls it across the fairway.

-A recent survey shows that of all jobs, caddies live the longest. They get
plenty of fresh air and exercise, and if there's ever a medical emergency,
a doctor is always nearby.

-It's difficult to decide which is more stressful - hitting 3 off the tee
or lining up your 4th putt.

-With practice and strength training you can easily get more distance off
the shank.

-The only sure way to get a par is to leave a 4 foot birdie putt 2 inches
from the hole.

-Nothing straightens out a nasty slice like a sharp dogleg to the right.

-Golden Rule: Never wash your ball on the tee of a water hole.

-No matter how badly you are playing, it's always possible to get worse.
