The Geezer Golfers

In my hand I hold a ball....     white and dimpled, 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 it's spell....     I've wandered through the fires of hell....
My life has not been quite the same....     Since I chose to play this simple game....
It rules my mind for hours on end...     A fortune it has made me spend....
It promises a thing called par....      If I can hit 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 like it chooses....
Often it will take 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....

I've spent most of my life golfing,
the rest I've just wasted.

Bill Lyon

Golf is a game in which you yell "fore,"
shoot six, and write down five.

Frank Fontenot

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

 If you woke up breathing, congratulations! 
You have another chance!

When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, 
he would have put them on my knees.

  A 'Rock Hudson' - it looked straight, but wasn't.

  A 'Saddam Hussein' - from one bunker into another.

 A 'Yasser Arafat' - butt ugly and in the sand.

  A 'John Kennedy Jr' - didn't make it over the water.

  A 'Rodney King' - over-clubbed.

  An 'O.J.  Simpson' - got away with it.

  A 'Princess Grace' - should have used a driver.

  A 'Princess Di' - shouldn't have used a driver.

  A 'Paris Hilton' - a very expensive hole.

  A 'Rush Limbaugh' - a bit too far to the right.

I've learned that whatever hits the
fan will not be evenly distributed.

Here is a test to find whether your
mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them.
Golf is more complicated than that.

Don't play too much golf.
Two rounds a day are plenty.

Four Geezers Golfers

The first Geezer said, "Oh I had three riders today".

The second bent over Geezer said, "I had the most riders ever. I had five".

The third Geezer said, "I did about the same. I had 7 riders, the same as last time".

The last Geezer said, "I beat my old record I had 12 riders today. Aren't you fellers proud of me?"

After they went into the men's locker room, an elderly Geezett (lady Geezer) club member that had heard the old gents telling of their game went to the pro and said, "Ihave been playing golf here for 40 years and thought I knew all the terminology of the game,..... but what in the world is a rider?"

The pro said, "A rider is when you hit the ball far enough to get in the golf cart and ride to it."

 

May thy ball lie in green pastures --
and not in still waters.

Betsy Sullivan

It's good sportsmanship to not pick up
lost golf balls while they are still rolling.

Carl Johnson

If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to pick it up.

Walter Brock

If you don't set goals in golf, you can't regret
not reaching them.

Sherwood Dunnam

90% of the golf game is half mental.
