Golf…Can’t Live With It, Can’t Live Without It.

January 14, 2011 | By Pete Girotto | 1 Comment

Why is this game so complicated? In order to answer that question we need to take a look back at its roots. We need to understand the foundation it was raised on.

So, when you combine something like single-malt scotches, bagpipes and skirts…excuse me…kilts, there’s your answer…just kidding! But I have an inkling that the scotch was fundamental in creating golf.

The complexity of this game always amazes me. You can run yourself ragged one day on the course and the next day it’s a walk in the park. I guess all those sayings golfers have are true. Here’s a few of my favorites:

  • The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can’t see him laughing.
  • I’m not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they’d come up sliced.
  • Golf is a game in which you yell “fore,” shoot six, and write down five.
  • Have you ever noticed what golf spells backwards?
  • You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.
  • Golf can drive me nuts and bring me joy at the same time and I guess it’s this love-hate relationship that keeps me coming back.

    Hit’em long…yell FORE!!! When’s this snow gonna melt…?
