Dear Abby

I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.. The usual signs; phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with "the girls" a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some friends from work, you don't know them." I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my

golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with "the girls".

When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, which was open, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on. It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the club head. Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where I bought it?

Verne was teeing off from the men's tee.

On his downswing, he realized that his wife, Lucrecia, was teeing up on the woman's tee directly in front of him.

Unable to stop his swing, he nailed it, and hit her directly in the temple, killing her instantly.

A few days later, Verne got a call from the coroner regarding her autopsy.

Coroner:' Verne, your wife seemed to have died from blunt force trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and hit her in the temple, is that correct?

Verne: 'Yes, sir, that's correct.'

Coroner: ' Well, inexplicably I found a golf ball wedged up her @rse.'

Verne: 'Was it a Titleist 3?'

Coroner: 'Yes, it was.'

Verne: 'That was my provisional.'

A man was playing golf alone at one of America's finest clubs

His first shot was not a good one and he landed on the edge of the rough.

Just as he was about to take his second shot he heard a small voice emminating from the long grass

"Ribbit......5 Iron"

He looked around and saw a small frog

"Did you just say that?" he asked the frog

To which the frog replied

"Ribbit 5 Iron"

So the golfer took the 5 Iron from his bag and smashed the ball to within a few feet of the green.

He took a pitching wedge from his bag and then heard the small voice agian saying

Ribbit...Sand Wedge"

The golfer was astonished, "I don't need a sand wedge for this shot surely"

Ribbit Sand Wedge"

The golfer did as he was told and the ball lofted up and straight into the hole.

"That's amazing" said the golfer, will you accompany me round the course?"

Ribbit....Yes

So the golfer and the frog went round the course and the golfer listening to the frog's instructions shot the best round of golf he had ever played.

After the game the golfer said to the frog "Wow you are amazing , I am off to Las Vegas tomorrow could you come and help me make some money in the big casinos?

Ribbit..Yes said the frog.

So off they went to La Vegas and at the first table the frog whispered to the golfer.....Ribbit 10 black

"All of it?" asked the golfer

Ribbit ..."Yes" replied the frog

The wheel spun and up came 10 black"

Ribbit..... "23 Red" said the frog. "All of it?" the golfer asked......Ribbit ..".Yes" replied the frog.

Then the wheel was spun and the number came up. This went on all night until the golfer had won in excess of 5 m dollars.

Back at the hotel room the golfer was so overjoyed at his luck he turned to the frog and said:

"You have been so good to me , helped me shoot my highest ever golf score and made me into a muti-millionaire, there must be something I can do for you"?

Ribbit......"Kiss Me"

So the golfer said "Why not you certainly deserve some kinda reward"

So the golfer kissed the frog and immediatley the frog turned into a very beautiful, but young 14 year old girl.

"And that your Hounour is the God's honest truth why that young girl was in my hotel room"

Not a joke but a true story:

While living in San Francisco I went out to play Lincoln Park with my girlfriend. We got paired up with this Irish guy (lots of them in SF). On the first hole, and uphill par four, the Irish guy and I hit our tee shots then move up to the ladies tee's for my girlfriends. She's new to golf, and I am teaching her, so there are two strikes right there. She hits her tee shot rather poorly and it dribbles off the front of the tee box about six yards forward. I toss her a ball and tell her to hit another one, this time its much better, about 150 yards along the tree line up the right side. As we're leaving the tee box I say to the Irish guy "In America we call that a Mulligan, what do you call it in Ireland?" "In Ireland" the Irish guys says "we call it fookin' cheating."

[Spacer]

Lincoln Park is a fun course with great views of SF bay (If it is not too foggy)

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

Engineer: What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!

Doctor: I don't know but I've never seen such ineptitude!

Priest: Hey, here comes the greens-keeper. Let's have a word with him.

Priest: Hi George. Say George, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow aren't they?

George: Oh yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight while saving our club house last year. So we let them play here anytime free of charge!

(silence)

Priest: That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.

Doctor: Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them.

Engineer: Why can't these guys play at night?

GOLF PANTIES

The Swede's wife steps up to the tee and, as she bends over to place her ball, a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear. 'Good God, woman! Why aren't you wearing any skivvies?', Ole demanded. 'Well, you don't give me enough housekeeping money to afford any.' The Swede immediately reaches into his pocket and says, 'For the sake of decency, here's a 50. Go and buy yourself some underwear'

Next, the Irishman's wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her skirt also blows up to show that she, too, is wearing no undies. 'Blessed Virgin Mary, woman! You've no knickers. Why not?' She replies, 'I can't afford any on the money you give me.' Patrick reaches into his pocket and says , 'For the sake of decency, here's a 20. Go and buy yourself some underwear!'

Lastly, the Scotsman's wife bends over. The wind also takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she, too, is naked under it. 'Sweet mudder of Jaysus, Aggie! Where ta <deleted> hel_l are yer drawers?' She too explains, 'You dinna give me enough money ta be able ta affarrd any.' The Scotsman reaches into his pocket and says, 'Well, fer the love 'o decency, here's a comb..... Tidy yerself up a bit'

A husband and wife are on the 9th green when suddenly she collapses from a heart attack!

"Help me dear," she groans to her husband.

The husband calls 911 on his cell phone, talks for a few minutes, picks up his putter and lines up his putt.

His wife raises her head off the green and stares at him. "I'm dying here and you're putting?"

"Don't worry dear," says the husband calmly, "they found a doctor on the second hole and he's coming to help you."

"Well, how long will it take for him to get here?" she asks feebly.

"No time at all," says her husband.

"Everybody's already agreed to let him play through."

Holy Indifference

1973 British Open champion Tom Weiskopf once played a practice round with Jack Nicklaus and John O’Leary before the 1975 Open at Carnoustie, Scotland.

When they got to the par-3 eighth late in the afternoon, only a couple of spectators remained. The wind was blowing hard from the left, and Weiskopf noticed two elderly gentleman sitting on the left side of the green.

He tried to aim the ball right at them and turn it into the wind. He did just that, the ball landing right near the hole. But there was no response from the men.

He looked in the bunker. He walked over the green. Searched in the trees. Finally, Nicklaus told him, “Can you believe it? Your ball’s in the hole.”

As he left the green, Weiskopf turned to the two men and said, “Excuse me, but did you see my shot?”

“Yes, laddie, we saw your shot,” they replied.

“It was a hole-in-one. You didn’t even clap,” he told them.

“Aye, laddie, but it’s only practice, isn’t it?”

"Wow thats great says Andy" "I can see my house from here" he says, can I use your telescopic sight to see it closer?"

"Sure be my guest" says the Hitman.

So Andy aims the rifle at his house and looks through the sights... "Wow this is great, I can see everything so clearerly, its like I was standing a few feet away" he says. "Oh and there's my Wife in the bedroom bless her, she must have just got up as she's got no clothes on, so you buggers arn't gonna be using this" he laughs,,,,"Hold on a minute, there's my neighbour in the room as well...he's naked too, I don't beleive it what a bas*rd, he's sha%%ing my wife "!!!!

What's the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards……..

What were Tiger Woods and his wife doing out at 2.30 in the morning? They went clubbing

Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron.

Reverend Francis Norton woke up one Sunday morning and, realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful spring day, decided he just had to play golf.

So he told the associate pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to say Mass for him.

As soon as the associate pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out to a golf course about 40 miles away.

Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church.

At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed: "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?"

The Lord sighed, and said: "No, I guess not."

Just then, Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight toward the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. It was a 420-yard hole in one!

St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked: "Why did you let him do that?"

The Lord smiled and replied: "Who's he going to tell?"

Golf Quotations by famous people

Forgive me if this is a repeat.

I was three over. One over a house, one over a patio, and one over a swimming pool.

The only sure rule in golf is - he who has the fastest cart never has to play the bad lie.

Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them

Kevin Costner

I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par.

After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye.

Chi Chi Rodriguez

The ball retriever is not long enough to get my putter out of the tree.

Brian Weis

Swing hard in case you hit it.

Lee Trevino

I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced.

Lee Trevino

If you're caught out on the golf course during a thunderstorm, just walk in carrying a 1 iron pointed toward the sky. Even God can't hit a 1 iron.

Lee Trevino

I personally prefer the tarantula saying.

A man is watching a game of golf on TV. But he keeps switching Channels to a dirty movie featuring a lusty couple having raucous sex.

THE INSTRUCTOR WAS TEACHING THE WOMEN HOW TO BREATHE PROPERLY AND WAS TELLING THE MEN HOW TO GIVE THE NECESSARY ASSURANCE TO THEIR PARTNERS AT THIS STAGE OF THE PREGNANCY.

SHE SAID "LADIES, REMEMBER THAT EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR YOU. WALKING IS ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL. IT STRENGTHENS THE PELVIC MUSCLES AND WILL MAKE DELIVERY THAT MUCH EASIER!"

SHE LOOKED AT THE MEN IN THE ROOM, "AND GENTLEMEN, REMEMBER -- YOU'RE IN THIS TOGETHER --- IT WOULDN'T HURT YOU TO GO WALKING WITH HER."

THE ROOM SUDDENLY GOT VERY QUIET AS THE MEN ABSORBED THIS INFORMATION. THEN A MAN AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM SLOWLY RAISED HIS HAND......

"YES?" ANSWERED THE TEACHER.

"I WAS JUST WONDERING. IS IT ALL RIGHT IF SHE CARRIES A GOLF BAG WHILE WE WALK?"

When my doctor asked me what I did yesterday, I told him about my day:

"Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded across the edge of a lake, escaped from a mountain lion in the heavy brush, marched up and down a mountain, stood in a patch of poison ivy, crawled out of quicksand, and jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake."

Inspired by my story, the doctor said, "You must be an awesome outdoorsman!"

"No," I replied, "I'm just a lousy golfer."

[Jai Dee]

"No," I replied, "I'm just a lousy golfer."

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle, followed by a good bottle of beer.

If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain, the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable tip: your life is in trouble.

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers ....neither of whom can putt very well.

Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss every green. The next day you go out and for no reason at all you really stink.

David Letterman's Top Ten Reasons Why Golf Is Better Than Sex.....

#10...A below par performance is considered darn good.

#9....You can stop in the middle and have a cheeseburger and a couple of beers.

#8....It's much easier to find the sweet spot.

#7....Foursomes are encouraged.

#6....You can still make money doing it as a senior.

#5....Three times a day is possible.

#4....Your partner doesn't hire a lawyer if you play with someone else.

#3....If you live in Florida , you can do it almost every day.

#2....You don't have to cuddle with your partner when you're finished.

And the NUMBER ONE reason why golf is better than sex.....

#1....When your equipment gets old you can replace it!

A golf story

A golfer was involved in a terrible car crash and was rushed to the hospital.

Just before he was put under, the surgeon popped in to see him.

"I have some good news and some bad news," says the surgeon.

"The bad news is that I have to remove your right arm!"

"Oh God no!" cries the man "My golfing is over! Please Doc, what's the good news?"

"The good news is, I have another one to replace it with, but it's a woman's arm.

I'll need your permission before I go ahead with the transplant."

"Go for it doc" says the man. "As long as I can play golf again."

The operation went well and a year later the man was out on the golf course when he bumped into the surgeon. "Hi, how's the new arm?" asks the surgeon.

"Just great," says the businessman. "I'm playing the best golf of my life.

My new arm has a much finer touch and my putting has really improved."

"That's great," said the surgeon.

"Not only that," continued the golfer, "my handwriting has improved, I've learned how to sew my own clothes and I've even taken up painting landscapes in watercolors."

"Unbelievable!" said the surgeon, "I'm so glad to hear the transplant was such a great success. Are you having any side effects?"

"Well, just one problem," said the golfer.

"Every time I get an erection, I also get a headache.

Even some classy poetry for the intellectual among us.

GOLF POEM

In My Hand I Hold A Ball,

White And Dimpled, And Rather Small.

Oh, How Bland It Does Appear,

This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.

By Its Size I Could Not Guess

The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.

But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,

I've Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.

My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same

Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game.

It Rules My Mind For Hours On End;

A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.

It Has Made Me Curse And Made Me Cry,

And Hate Myself And Want To Die.

It Promises Me A Thing Called Par,

If I Hit It Straight And Far.

To Master Such A Tiny Ball,

Should Not Be Very Hard At All.

But My Desires The Ball Refuses,

And Does Exactly As It Chooses.

It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies,

And Disappears Before My Eyes.

Often It Will Have A Whim,

To Hit A Tree Or Take A Swim.

With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land,

It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand.

Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul,

If Only It Would Find The Hole.

It's Made Me Whimper Like A Pup,

And Swear That I Will Give It Up.

And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow,

But The Ball Knows ... I'll Be Back Tomorrow.
