I like that! Excellent gag!! I always found it ironic that people play golf to “relax” but are so competitive and spend so much money on it. When I would golf I’d never keep score – just enjoyed walking and swinging a club. But the people I was with acted like I was committing a mortal sin. I was grateful for my back surgery so I could use it as an excuse to not golf. But I would golf with Uncle Ted any day.
Uncle Ted is a CAGEY ole Fox folks. Don’t play poker with him. He hooked Brutus. Brutus swings hard and reckless and ball hooks and slices into trees and roughs/water/hazards. Uncle Ted swings smooth and true. Less distance but straight. Brutus will ante the cold Root Beer. Back in my youthful days, A@W Root Beer had drive in stands – order from your car or truck. Cold Root Beer and Hamburgers and Hotdogs and Fries. Ode to the young.
I do not understand the interest in golfing or especially in playing or even watching football. Every football player ends up with TBI, and then CTE if they play long enough. It doesn’t seem worth it to watch people slowly commit suicide.
I never really minded hitting a ball into the woods, because when I went to look for it, I’d often find another half-dozen, at least, so I was good for a couple more games. :)

Best not get Uncle Ted out on the links with Veeblefester; that’d be one epic match with a scoring system like that!

I suspect Brutus will be buying.

Seems fair and fun. I would up the ante to root beer floats however. Just call me a big spender…….

Safe wager Uncle Ted. You realize of course you are playing against Brutus. He’ll lose more golf balls; pretty much guaranteed.

I always figure that if I find more balls than I loose, I beat par.

I’m still getting over the shock of finding out that Uncle Ted is a year younger than me .

Yeah Uncle Ted, it can get expensive when you have to buy a new set of clubs every time you go golfing.

The only time I ever played golf, in high school, I started with six balls and lost them all in the first nine.

When I played in Florida we lost balls and found balls and if found > lost we considered it a successful round.

Most of my 70 year old golfing buddies count the number of found balls to determine how successful the round was.
