Well, I have never played golf. I have shot an eagle. Well, actually it was an owl. A hoot in one.

*Putting up the picture of Gene Sarazen may have offended a number of Barry Manilow fans again.

Dave, you succeeded in making golf as exciting as watching paint dry, almost. I had to nap in the middle of the piece.

As Mark Twain (supposedly) said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled."

Unless, of course, you are Donald Trump, who never walks more than the five feet from his golf cart to the ball and back.

People often ask me how I can play golf so much and still be so bad at it.

It takes a lot of balls.

This may need to be fact checked because I saw no mention of Chy Chy Rodreygwez.

Well, there are many ways to make the game more intersting if you've got the Benjamins.

Sometimes you need two helos and 25 golfcarts just to get to the greens, but watching the anti-sniper teams riding golfcarts in the entourage was a hoot.

Setup line #63:

How do I address the ball?

If you head over to one of the large membership warehouse stores (rhymes with "Clam's Flub"), you may purchase a vat of pimento cheese large enough to attract a flock of Augusta Junior League members brandishing spreading knives.

The only story about golf that interested me is Arnold Palmer once at the Masters hit a shot that landed on a snake. The reptile refused to move. There was discussion with the score keepers about if Palmer dropped a ball if he would be penalized a shot. Forgot what the decision was. The green jacket didn't fit the snake anyway.
