Golf is a wonderful game. It has been described as a beautiful walk in nature, ruined. I am amazed by people who think you are supposed to hit the little ball in the fairway. Why, I ask? All the beauty is in the forest. At least that is where I seem to spend most of my time while participating in this sport. After a particularly bad shot sent miles into the woods, my caddie, a mere wisp of a fellow, said not to worry that he could find the ball. I looked at him incredulously and replied he could have my golf shoes if he could find the ball. Darned if the little fellow didn't find the ball. It's O.K., he'll grow into them.

Neat golf gnome. I need a couple of those to retrieve my golf balls. I have a nasty habit of slicing right.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Too funny. MB
ReplyDeleteLooks like you might want to retrieve your ball yourself if you want to finish your game before 2050.
ReplyDeleteCute!
pretty big shoes to fill, b squared.
ReplyDeletecute story, your caddie has some big shoes.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the gaudy trousers! hahaha! Great game though.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever! What a great imagination you have. :)
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Fortunately, our Stone Creek course does not have a lot of woods. Still, I seem to find trees, weeds, gorse, water, sand, and desert. It's really hard to hit a ball when it's sitting amidst a bunch of rocks. Oh, wait, that's out-of-bounds--I'm not supposed to hit out from the rocks.
ReplyDeleteIt's a rocky game, and going downhill. Or maybe I'm the one going downhill?
I wish I had a caddie. I can't find my ball in the fairway. Oh stop, I do hit it there once in awhile!
Are you giving him the FTLDP Staff Limo in your will as well?
ReplyDeleteThe inquiring mind of «Louis la Vache» wants to know...
A steady and reliable guy. Are you sure he is agile enough?
ReplyDeleteToo funny...
ReplyDeleteI can barely hit a tennis ball with a racket...how do you hit that small white thing with a thin iron thing??? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe cool temps must agree with you. I"m dripping here cleaning house. Golf course in this heat??? Insanity.

How nice to have a caddie. My husband won't even carry an umbrella for me!
ReplyDeleteFrontline workers play basketball.
ReplyDeleteMiddle management plays tennis.
CEO's play golf.
Conclusion: The richer you are, the smaller your balls.
Now you're looking down .. you see the most interesting things
ReplyDeleteToo funny indeed! :-)))
ReplyDeleteI hope he doesn't trip in the meantime!
ReplyDeleteVery humorous.
ReplyDeleteSmart fella!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

He appears to be about 5 inches tall which makes me wonder if this is a true story.
ReplyDeleteHe seems to be a really happy fellow. The sort of caddie I'd like to have IF I ever get crazy enough to play golf.
