 Fore Mississauga, Ontario Fore! That's what I was asked to shout to inform my co-flight members that I'm ready to hit my ball. Apparently that's also a prediction of how many strokes I'll have to take to bring this tiny bedimpled ball into the hole. After the 18-hole, 65 minute game, I placed 5th. Not bad right? But I was playing with a 9-yr old, a 6-yr old and 2 women. And there were just 5 of us. I literally played and enjoyed my game, never taking it seriously. I guess I took to heart what we all need to know about life, that it's never really about the winning, its enjoying the game. (Is this what they call "sweet lemons"?) ******** Did you know that there are 3 golf balls left in the moon? Yup. Alan Shephard wanted to do a simple demonstration that youngsters would understand, to show what it meant to be in an atmosphere with one-sixth the gravity of Earth. He naively figured that he was going to be able to drive the golf ball six times the normal distance of an Earth game. ********* Why do golf balls have from 300-500 dimples? ********* I know its a religion to a lot of people, but pardon my heresy, but if there's one sport that I may not really enjoy watching - it is GOLF. Ok, I hate watching CHESS too :P Both games are darn too slow. Don't you agree? ********* Mitzi won, by the way, having had 7 birdies, while I had just 1. Of course, birdies in golf mean a different thing (you dirty mind) so you know, here are some golf scoring terms Albatross (double-eagle): Three shots less than par Eagle: Two shots less Birdie: One shot less Bogey: One shot more Double bogey: Two shots more Triple bogey: Three shots more There's also a Condor (triple-eagle) too - four shots less than a par 5, or a hole in one. Having had 2 holes-in-one in an 18-hole stretch is said to be with odds of 1 out of 67 million. Chris Tudwell was one of the last to do it. Yesterday, Patrick, Jo's son, made a hole-in-one. He almost made two, just like his Tita Mitzi who won the game yesterday, they were both 'naturals.' Their tito Junnie is happy just to see them all happy. I'm a natural - in sharing happiness :) << Bookmark this post on:
