Thread: My first post

Corbs,

Welcome, and now that you have broken the ice don't be too shy to make further posts.

Your story reminded me of something similar at the golf club I used to work. Difference being that the ball hit a member's eye and he lost his sight in that eye. He never complained and never claimed damages as it was an accident. Very lucky for the hitter as he had a young family and was not well off.


As a result of that accident the Club made members carry compulsory public liability insurance taken out as part of their annual subs.

The trophy is a good idea to remind them of how lucky they are.

Peter.

Hello corbs,
I see that you are computer literate as well shaping that golf ball as such.

No computer wizardry there, we found it on a previous "meeting" and knew of this upcoming event. Thought someone would play a goose of a shot and the ball was an appropriate enough trophy for the poor bugger who played it. As luck???:confused: would have it, the recipients head looked like the ball so he was an obvious winner of the trophy.

There is a small golf course near me I used to play at that is quite dangerous, there is one hole where you pretty much hitting over the previous holes green from the tee. Once I was teeing off and the ball came off the heal of the club and hit this guy in the shoulder as he was putting, I dont know who got more of a fright from this. I got over to him very quickly to see how he was and the bruise was already black and you could see the golf ball dimples in his arm. If it had been any higher who knows what could have happened.

Not difficult to do. Just boil it in water like a hard boiled egg and it will change shape - hopefully into an egg shape.

Peter.

Just think of all those people after reading this now goping home and boiling golf balls...

Just the same sort of thing as the question "Can you lick you own elbow?"

Admit it you just tried it!!!

Kris,


I used to work at a golf club and like all employees you get a healthy sarcastic attitude to all these people who pretend that they can play. They always talk as if they are a Greg Norman or Tiger Woods yet play of a handicap of 32 :eek: :eek:

One day our chef boiled a golf ball which changed shape to an egg and placed it as the centrepiece of the salad display. The club captain took it on his plate and to our delight was unable to cut it open. He, a well known Richard Cranium, made a complaint to the chef that the egg was too hard.

With a straight face the chef replied " Oh, is that where my golfball went.


Peter.

Ha ha. Not bad, was the guy blind, drunk or just a little bit thin in the top paddock?

Cheers

Kris

Often blind drunk but always a little bit thin in the top paddock

Peter.

Sounds like someone you want as the club captain

Ha ha. Makes you wonder sometimes. )
