In my previous post, I spoke of the incident on Dogwood Hole No. 1 at Houndslake Country Club. Apparently, my response to the grumpy old ladies was not sufficient to anyone that I have spoken to… Therefore, I propose 10 solutions that have been given to me… Not in any order of importance.
- “It is better to be a bad golfer than to have bad manners.”
- While giving them the one-finger salute, declaring loudly, “I’m pastor Bob Jones, of Cedar Creek Church, and nobody treats me that way!” Cedar Creek is the big, seeker sensitive church in town.
- “Ma’am, why are you not home, humbly serving your husbands!”
- If time is of the essence, then take out my putter to finish out the hole. One long putt at a time.
- “Ma’am, I may be a bad golfer, but with practice, I will get good. However, you will still be ugly.”
- “Ma’am, I was really worried my tee shot was going to hit you. Now, however, I’m sad that it didn’t.”
- “Sticks and stones may break bones, and I’m sure my nine iron can shut you up!”
- “Ma’am, Golf stands for ‘Gentlemen only, ladies forbidden.’ Apparently you don’t fit either category.”
- “Ma’am, I’m a pastor, and you just became one great sermon illustration for total depravity.”
- Hit the ball into the woods, and yell at her to “fetch!”
Please add your suggestions in the comments area. Please keep it clean.
I followed your link, which led me to a familiar looking blog titled “Flesh is Grass”, but every post was in German. I would have liked to read the previous post of which you alluded, but alas, I don’t read German.
My favorite was number 8.
Not sure what was going on Mark. The link took me to this site and has my url in it… so, that is odd.
