THANKSGIVING

Greetings!

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Please be careful as you venture into the elements to prepare for Christmas. If the past week or so is any indication, we could have a wild ride ahead.

Keep ckecking in...we will have some "Golf Rules" reviews and some light hearted postings as well.

If you have any comments on the posts, please share them. If you have pictures or stories you want to share, please email them to carl.dodie@comcast.net and we'll get them posted.

Later...

OMG! MORE MURPHY?!?!

And Finally:

MURPHY'S DICTATES OF GOLF ETIQUETTE:

"If you can't outrun a golfclub, don't give advice."

"No one blows his nose at the end of your follow through."

"No one has a coughing fit as you walk off the tee."

"No golfer ever played too fast."

"No group ever played too quietly."

"Never take a lesson from your father or husband."

"Never steal a lost ball until it stops rolling."

"Play is always faster on the other nine."

MURPHY'S LAWS OF GOLF PHYSICS:

"There are four forces affecting the motion of a golf ball:

1. GRAVITY, which causes the ball to drop suddenly into hazzards.

2. ELECTROMAGNETISM, which makes the ball curve sharply towards whichever of the earth's pole is closest to the Out of Bounds stakes.

3. THE WEAK FORCE, which makes the ball dribble to the red tee.

4. THE STRONG FORCE, which propels the ball directly towards a foursome of personal injury lawyers in the adjacent fairwy."

Hope you enjoyed Murphy!

MORE MURPHY???? SHEESH!

"Anyone can groove a good, Solid, repeatable practice swing."

"Never try to keep more than 30 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing."

"There are three essentials to a great golf swing:
1. Keep your head still
2. Keep your stupid head still
3. Keep your damn, stupid head still"

"The key to mastering the short shots is to make sure you don't start hitting them until you get within 100 yards of the green."

"Putts come three to a package."

"The green often forgets which way the last putt broke."

"Every putt is straight if you hit the damn thing hard enough."

"Even if it is longer than the fourth putt was, the fifth putt is always good."

More Murphy...

"Confidence evaporates in the presence of water."

"99.99% of the universe is empty space, but the last .01% will stop a golf ball dead."

"Every time a golfer makes a birdie, she must make two triple bogeys to restore the equilibrium of the universe."

"The number of tees in a golf bag is always less than 3 or more than 600."

"Even if a ball retriever extends to 40 feet, it will always be one foot too short to reach the ball."

"A golf vacation is a trip taken by two or more players to a place where no one can remember when it rained so much."

"Strokes always accumulate faster than they can be forgotten."

"Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the first of the next group of three."

"One birdie is a hot streak."

"It's easier to shrink your shoe size than to lower your handicap."

SOME MORE MURPHY

"Hazards attract, Fairways repel, and Trees never stop crooked shots."

"A ball will always travel the farthest when hit in the wrong direction."

"A ball will never lip out of a bunker or burn the edge of a pond."

"If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball will be in the bunker"

"If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint."

"The key to target golf is to choose a really, really BIG target."

"Never wash your ball on the tee of a water hole."

"If you absolutely, postively must have a par on a hole, leave your birdie putt one inch short."

"When in doubt, just ask yourself "What would Tiger hit" and use 6 clubs more."

"You haven't really hit bottom until you need your ball retriever regripped."

more to come...
