Mark Twain is said to have said this about golf – it is a good walk spoilt. Turns out he didn’t say this, but I do subscribe to the sentiment. I love golf courses, with their beautiful green vistas, manicured grass, trees, bunkers etc., but I find the game itself isn't exactly riveting. As for watching the game on TV, is about as interesting as watching paint dry! I am of course aware that for the golf-lover, such thoughts and utterances are blasphemy. If you are a golfer or have a golf-lover in your life, some of these golf memes will have you nodding ruefully:
They take their game seriously. The swing, the stance, the score, their fellow players. It is all par for the course if you'll pardon the pun.
Golfers are a fraternity; almost a sorority. They swap stories that are wildly hilarious to each other but only tepidly amusing to the rest of humanity. They have common laments and pet peeves that will find empathetic echoes among other golfers.
I know guys who would happily sleep till noon – unless there is a round of golf in the offing. Then they will be up and in their collared polo shirts and their spiffy footwear before daybreak.
The avid golfer will let nothing come between them and their golf – freezing temperatures, water logging, sweltering summers – none of that matters when there is a game of golf to be played.
Golfing buds are best buds. Those who play golf commit to it – the lifestyle, the costs involved, the new friends made, the lingo.
There is a lot that can happen on a golf course – business meetings are conducted, deals are struck, the fate of employees is decided, and much else besides.
To the non-golfer it may golf may seem as like a lot of geriatrics out for a gentle stroll, but the avid golfer knows that the game requires fitness, athleticism, strategic thinking and skill.
Marriage is all about staying together through thick and thin ---- but no one said anything about golf!
A golf widow is defined as a woman whose husband spends much time on the golf course. I wonder if the husbands of women who play golf also feel this way – maybe they just drown their sorrows in golf
Hell no! The guys look like they're having a lot of fun so the women decided to join in – if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em decided a lot of women. There’s golf to be played – everything else can wait. It’s a novel idea for women, but we’re catching on…
