I took up golf to prepare me for the humiliation of marriage.

Why not put him through a meat grinder?

PG Wodehouse wrote that playing golf was the perfect cure for arrogance. Guess some golf playing fools are just incurable.

Dad managed to father two boys. Besides the normal biology, I’m not sure how he managed it. His way to prepare us for dating and save us the humiliation was to suggest lifelong celibacy

I read about an old time golfer who had terrible luck in the game for decades. I guess that he played for the exercise or maybe for the companionship. But it seems that he always had bad luck in the game. His luck, bad, lasted to the very end. When it was time to bury him, it still took six or seven tries before they could sink his coffin in the hole.

I took up marriage so I wouldn’t have to golf.

So that is why Obama golfed every day.

That’s golf all right. Spend all day swinging a driver with a long, stiff shaft but never manage to get in the hole.

I don’t golf but I used to take an elderly friend of mine , twice a week to play golf. He was no longer able to drive his car, so I’d chauffeur him around.

After watching him drive a golf cart like it was a Formula I car, I understood why they wouldn’t let him on the road anymore. He’d been a combat Marine in WWII – need I say more?

Golf is a gateway to opioids.

For those who wish to learn the history of golf: YouTube, Robin Williams, golf. LMAO

So THAT’S my problem. My dad never golfed. (He didn’t believe in “leisure”. If you weren’t working it was a waste of time.)
