Well? Golf is like a 'Psychic Can Opener'.........it reveals most 'everything'......about a person's 'character'......when you 'play it'..........might as well 'takes your clothes off'.....ya'know :)

~~~~~~~Golf Reminds Me of My Old Girlfriends~~~~~~~


golf reminds me of my old gf's
one hole at a time
some of them were cruel
and some of them were kind
but after the game was over
and all was said and done
every golf hole
i ever played
like
every gf
i've ever known
let me know
of
ALL
their difficulties
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
LOL

The great course designer A.W. Tillinghast used to say that a golf hole is much like a person. The Teeing area and fairway analogous to a person's body~~~and all that green grass pretty much the same~~~but what distinguishes a hole is it's green~~~much like a person's face~~~and dear old golfin'great Bobby Jones saw golf as a metaphor of life~~~as he called the game of golf~~~life~~~without the blood and guts. I wonder if either of them ever thought of their old gf's~~~while looking at a green~~~or~~~watching where a shot they hit ended up?
