Four old-timers were playing their weekly game of golf, and one remarked how nice it would be to wake up on Christmas morning, roll out of bed and without an argument, go directly to the golf course, meet his buddies and play a round.
His buddies all chimed in and said, “Let’s do it! We’ll make it a priority, figure out a way and meet here early Christmas morning.”
Months later, that special morning arrives, and there they are on the golf course.
The first guy says, “Boy this game cost me a fortune! I bought my wife such a diamond ring that she can’t take her eyes off it.
The second guy says, “My wife is at home planning the cruise I gave her. She was up to her eyeballs in brochures.”
Number 3 guy says, “Well my wife is at home admiring her new car, reading the manual.”
They all turned to the last guy in the group who is staring at them like they all had lost their minds.
“I can’t believe you all went to such expense for this golf game. I woke up, slapped my wife on the butt and said, ‘Well babe, Merry Christmas! It’s a great morning for either sex or golf” and she said, “It’s cold out, take a sweater”
It should be clear that these proposals are not aimed to get at anybody but to increase the potential enjoyment of all players. Much of this is common sense and already part of most player’s way of playing.
A typical 3ball could be round in 3hours 36 minutes if they spent 9 minutes on par 3s,12 minutes on par4s and 15 minutes on par5s.
FOR PLAYERS:
Recommendations for the Course
This will need negotiations with the ground staff!
1.The first cut of the rough should be short enough always to allow for the ball to be seen/found.

What do you mean, you failed? Me, too!
(And if you try to tell me you passed, you is fibbin). See me in my Study
I have a little Satnav it sits there in my car.
A Satnav is a driver’s friend it tells you where you are.
I have a little Satnav I’ve had it all my life.
It’s better than the normal ones my Satnav is my wife.
It gives me full instructions especially how to drive, It’s sixty
miles an hour it says You’re doing sixty five. It tells me when
to stop and start and when to use the brake and tells me that it’s never
ever safe to overtake.
It tells me when a light is red and when it goes to green it seems to know
instinctively just when to intervene. It lists the vehicles just in front and all those to the rear
And taking this into account it specifies my gear.
I’m sure no other driver has so helpful a device
for when we leave and lock the car it still gives its advice.
It fills me up with counselling each journey’s pretty fraught
so why don’t I exchange it and get a quieter sort.
Ah well you see it cleans the house, makes sure I’m properly fed
It washes my shirts and things and keeps me warm in bed.
Despite all these advantages and my tendency to scoff
I only wish that now and then I could TURN THE BUGGER OFF!!

Rules Quiz
Dave hits his ball from the tee just off the
fairway on the 2nd
. However, when they
get to where the thought it had rested no
one could find it in the short rough. Dave
wastes no time and while his playing
partners continue to search, he runs back
to the tee and hits another ball which he
declared as ‘provisional’. On the way back
up the fairway, one of his colleagues
shouts that he has found the original ball
within the five minutes allowed. Which
ball should Dave play?
a) He should play the original ball
because it was found within the
five minutes.
b) He can choose which ball to play,
(declaring his first ball lost)
remembering that his ‘provisional
ball’ will be his 4th shot
c) He must play the second ball.
Rules Quiz Answer The answer is c The second ball struck from the tee immediately becomes the ‘ball in play’. It can only be ‘provisional’ if struck while the player is still on the tee before going forward to look for his original ball.
