Humor for the day

If you are ever on a golf course and thunder and lightning happens, here's what you do.

Get out your 1 iron and hold on to it. Everybody knows, not even God can hit a 1 Iron.

a very astute observation.

Edit to add - this led me to a page of Lee Trevino quotes. Had forgotten how funny he was:

My divorce came to me as a complete surprise. That's what happens when you haven't been home in eighteen years.


The older I get the better I used to be!

You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.

Putts get real difficult the day they hand out the money.

He was a guest commentator at a tournament that had 3 or 4 guys in contention going to the last hole. Announcer commented on how horribly difficult it must be to need to make a 6 foot putt to win several hundred thousand dollars. He said that was no pressure at all, since you were playing for their money.
He said (paraphrasing): "Real pressure is playing with a group and needing to make a putt to win a $100 hole, and knowing that you only have twenty bucks in your pocket."
