Rules to Live by for Golfers

Real Estate Broker/Owner with ERA Simmons Real Estate 18157

If you are obsessed with Golf like I am, these are rules you are very familiar with:

•  Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it. 

•  Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. 

•  When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls. 

•  The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing. 

•  No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. 

•  A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents' luck. 

•  Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts. 

•  The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree. 

•  You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time. 

•  Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three. 

•  Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogies to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe. 

•  A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours. 

•  If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker.  If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint. 

•  A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are. 

•  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 (or worse). 

•  It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, and eat hot dogs if you are performing Brain Surgery!!!!
