AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE

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.

  1. Neat golf gnome. I need a couple of those to retrieve my golf balls. I have a nasty habit of slicing right.

  2. Looks like you might want to retrieve your ball yourself if you want to finish your game before 2050.
    Cute!

  7. Hilarious! 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.

    It'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!

  13. Frontline workers play basketball.
    Middle management plays tennis.
    CEO's play golf.
    Conclusion: The richer you are, the smaller your balls.

  16. He appears to be about 5 inches tall which makes me wonder if this is a true story.

  17. He 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.
