Anybody out there who might have some golf balls that they would be willing to get rid of cheap? There is a reason I ask----- A few years ago, when I retired, my friend Lou suggested I take up golf. “It’ll be relaxing and give you something to do.“ But I wasn’t interested. It didn’t seem like much of a challenge. I mean-you put the ball on the ground and hit it with a stick. It’s not like someone is THROWING the ball at you. It just sits there waiting to be struck. Not much to it really. But a month ago when I was offered the opportunity to play golf with my daughter, my grandson, and my son-in-law I decided to give it a try. And I found out that Lou was HALF right. It did give me something to do. But “relaxing?!” What is the absolute polar opposite of relaxing! Now I majored in Physics in college. I know all about forces, and angles, and projectile motion, and conservation of momentum. But this game of golf is diabolical. It doesn’t seem to follow any of the rules of Physics. I swear—it is impossible to believe that I can swing as hard as I can in one direction only to have the ball squirt or dribble or bounce, or flop in the completely opposite direction. And the more frustrated I get, the worse the results. Today I went to a local nine-hole golf course. It was a nice course. But in order to fit the nine holes in the space allotted there wasn’t much fairway. Lots of brush and sand and ponds. At least that’s the excuse I’m giving for what took place. As I stood on the tee of the seventh hole I remembered a joke I had heard about Jesus and Moses playing golf. (It was not irreverent -honestly) It seems that Jesus was determined to clear the pond in front of him using a seven iron. But to no avail. Ball after ball kept plopping into the water. I think I know how Jesus felt as my ball after ball kept plopping into the pond. The only difference being that Jesus had Moses playing with Him. And Moses kept parting the water so that Jesus was able to retrieve all his golf balls. And although my wife was standing by watching she refused to wade into the water to retrieve anything. All in all I lost nine golf balls today playing this nine-hole course. I believe that gives me and E.R.A. so to speak of 9.00 . Worse than the Phillies bullpen! I figure that if I’m going to keep playing this game I’m going to need many more golf balls. So I ask again---Anybody out there have any golf balls they want to get rid of cheap??
