Frank and Ernest by Thaves for September 20, 2023

Realtors make a big deal of a house overlooking a golf course. I think it would be horrible with balls hitting the yard or house all the time, drunks swearing a blue streak, etc.

That’s my kind of golf!

The trick is to play on through before they recover consciousness.

If he hadn’t hit that last person it would have been fine. He only is allowed to legally hit (and can only score bonus points for hitting) four people when he shouts “Four” befour he hits the ball each time.

[And they were fourwarned – not fivewarned.]

why don’t they yell out something meaningful before hitting the ball like I suck or bad golfer

One particularly hard shot killed a groundskeeper. It was a Hole in Juan.

I hit a birdie once. And double bogeyed the hole.

Reminds me of a strip (I think it was The Other Coast) I’m not able to rediscover.

A golfer finds a ball next to one of those drawings the police do around a dead body to indicate his position, next to the head. He shouts to another golfer: “Hey, I found the ball you couldn’t find yesterday.”

“Fore!”

[BONK!]

“Oops, my bad! Five!”

I teach pickleball and always mention that pickleballs are both the slowest and least bouncy balls in all of sports, but they make up for it by being the ones least likely to hurt if they hit you. People always ask which ones hurt the most, and I have to say baseballs, but golf balls would probably be worse, it’s just that most people have the good sense not to stand anywhere in front of where someone’s getting set to tee off on one.

It’s not just Sue to worry about, it’s the other four ladies he hit too.

No worries, every golfer signed a waiver…

the hard part is dragging any dead ones through all the remaining holes…!

foregone conclusion

Great joke, great background.
