Cavemen gots golf? Hmmm. A walk spoiled, or something to that effect. I forget who says that golf is men in ugly pants, walking. Fashion-wise, these two got a ways to go yet.
I believe we have a golf theme due to what used to be called the “B.C. Open” is being played this week in Endicott, NY where Hart was from. I believe it is now sponsored by the Dicks Sporting Goods chain that also originated in that local area.
Supposedly President Grant was out for a ride one day and he came upon a golf course. There he saw a particularly inept practitioner of the game flailing away and not hitting what he was flailing at. Grant turned to his aide and said: “That looks like excellent exercise. But what’s the little white ball for?”
Bored shepherds took their staffs and hit leather balls around in tall grass. When they paid more attention to the game than the sheep it caused losses and the game was outlawed. .Doe “BC” stand for Before Cricket? 8-)

In ancient days when a man dressed in ugly clothing and screamed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Now it’s called golf.
