Addressing Scotsmen, this is probably like 'teaching granny to suck eggs', but I'll chance it. I have not played golf very much, but I don't mind it and often watch the tournaments, if they are on BBC. What I find amusing is how people can get so angry with their game, that never affected me. Perhaps that is because I find the game itself amusing, think : 1} You stick a little concaved topped pin in the ground (the tee), place a little spherical object (the golf ball) atop it, stand up and collect an offensive weapon (golf club), grip the aforementioned offensive weapon (OW) and swing your body back, then forward, hoping the OW will connect with the little spherical object (LSO) and send it flying some hundred or more yards away, hopefully in the intended direction ! 2} Assuming your plan has worked, you then go for a longish walk in search of the LSO and if you find it, proceed to use the same or more probably another OW to give the LSO another whack, this time hoping to send it nearer to a flagpole you can see, some way distant. 3} Either repeat {2} above or goto {4}. 4} Assuming the LSO has landed in the vicinity of the aforementioned flagpole, you then avail yourself of another weapon, this time less offensive (the putter) to give the LSO a gentler whack, the intention of which is to send the LSO down into a little cylindrical hole in the ground. 5} Either repeat {4} above or goto {1}, but you will have to go for another (longish ?) walk to get there. Note. The above procedure is to be repeated 17 times if the Golf Course has the standard 18 Holes. P.S. There is also a '19th Hole', this is unlike all the others and is for Rest and Recuperation. Enjoy !
