What Did You Do That Fore?
Golf etiquette went out the door at Stockwood Park Golf Course when a player was attacked with a golf club.Harold Stafford was at the 3rd hole when he must have hit a shocker because he came racing over to the 13th hole where Barry Barnes and his friends were playing and accused them of playing his ball.Despite denials from the group Mr Staford continued to scream at them, making Mr Barnes miss his putt. One thing lead to another and it was then alleged Mr Stafford began hitting Mr Barnes with his club. Not happy with with his effort he began kicking Barnes while he was lying on the ground. Prosecutor Natalie Carter said during the trial “Although golf is usually thought to be a relaxing pastime, on this day in September it was not.” Ya think? So how much does a golf ball cost these days?
More Than One Type Of Birdie in Golf!
Squirrel shouldn’t be on a golf course, he’s never gonna get a birdie! Oh and just to add insult to injure its a mockingbird!
Play Golf Like A Squirrel
Its because we play with our nuts all day!
Psychologists at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, renowned as the home of golf, believe they have discovered the holy grail of golf. Don’t think.
Hmm, most golf coaches have known that one for ever. The problem is how does one stop a person thinking? The University of St Andrews believe just talking about your game in between playing shots can effect your skills and score. The medical mumbo jumbo is called ‘verbal overshadowing’ which makes the brain switch focus from the cerebral systems (skill related) to language related part of the brain.
I say phooey, if you want to really know the key to playing great golf you need to act like a squirrel. Squirrels, surprise, surprise, don’t think. It is the reason they are able to scurry across a thin wire and not fall off. Us humans, we think, process and analyze. If we were told to walk a thin wire like a squirrel, we couldn’t, mainly because our brain would be working overtime analysing the situation. Our brain would be thinking , crap that’s too high, the friggin wires too thin, I will die doing it, isn’t there an easier alternative, blah, blah, blah. A squirrel however is denied the complex assessment of information and has no ability to reason. It simply processes, acts and executes.
So next time you pick up your clubs find your inner squirrel and just go for it. Oh and if you want a really cool assessment of your golf by a world leading golf coach check out this site Free Golf Lesson Online.
Dog With Real Balls
Did you hear something?
When your dog has a rattle you just know there is something wrong. Oscar the black Labrador has been keeping a secret. It seems he likes eating golf balls. When his owner started hearing a rattle from deep within Oscar’s bowels he took him straight to the vet. After a close examination the vet removed 13 golf balls from his stomach. Some had been there such a long time they were actually decomposing. The vet said : “It was like a magic trick. I opened him up and felt what I thought was two or three golf balls and then voila, “they just kept coming until we had a bag full.” Fingers are now being pointed at the Pitreavie golf course as the cause of Oscar’s woes.
