It doesn’t get much worse than that.

“Five Hail Arnolds and trim the first green.”

Also, if that’s my Titleist 4 in the baptismal font, how many penance strokes do I add?

If your a golfer that goes to church this comic was TaylorMade for you. Might even be the pinnacle of your comic experience today.

Yeah, like a golfer would confess that instead of asking for help with his short game.

May you burn in the fiery depths of hell.

Little realized fact by most golfers. “Divot” is Old Scottish for “hole”, not the clump of grass that flew out of it. Nothing can be itself, AND the absence of itself. The panel should have read “I didn’t REPAIR my divot.” You’re welcome.

He’s obviously a divout Catholic

“Let he who is without sin cast the first turf.”

A confessional on a golf course? Sounds like an idea whose time is overdo.

“For penance—make five shanks and three chunks.”

“OK, sexton, you can stop assembling that big wooden cross. Crucifixion’s off. He’s repented.”
