The golf ball story continued..... did have a positive economic effect on the game in the long run in spite of Allan Robertson's fears. The "low cost" gutta made golf affordable to many and brought in new players to golf, slowly at first then growing into the world wide popularity it has today. The gutta also brought unheard of distance and dramatically improved putting. Bobby Jones was known to have hit tee shots 340 yards using a gutta golf ball and a wooden shafted wooden headed driver. (Think about that the next time you put the smooth one on your titanium headed, graphite shafted, turbo tuned driver and send your super ballistic rocket ball soaring 250 yards.)
That little white piece of agony provoking scrounge, looking at you sneering "hit me with your best shot", and when you do it just sits where it lands and waits for more for more. "I'm gonna to smash the crap out off ya" the angry golfer blurts and with a mighty blow of his most powerful golfing weapon sends his helpless antagonist hurdling thru space. Then upon hunting him down, grins and says "take that you little b------". So, have you figured it out yet ? Golfers think golf balls can hear! Not only do they think they can hear, but they get upset if the golf ball doesn’t do what they are told to do! For example, golf balls can’t run and they have no legs, and the only thing that stops them is the law of gravity. Get up, Sit down, Turn, Bend, Get out of there, Run, Hit something hard, Kick left, Kick right, Bite,@#@!&**^%$@! Versions of these expressions are heard around the world, from the jungle courses of S. Africa to the resort golf courses of Myrtle Beach, from sand "green" courses of Alberta Canada to the blush tropical courses of Fiji and the dessert courses of the middle east. Don't believe it , why not
take a little golfing vacation and see for yourself ? We hope you enjoyed this little
tid-bit, if you
did why not send this page to a friend who may enjoy it.
