My first post
Well its been a long time coming and I wish I could post something to demonstrate my prowess with the wood working tools... but (un)?fortunately this will have to do for now.
This little trophy took me minutes to make (that includes the estapol clear finish) . I wasnt going to post it but there was an amusing story for the winner of it so I thought I would share.
The winner of the trophy was having a bad luck day to start with, picked in a team with 2 women whose only experience with golf had been the highlights of the US open on the news. The group behind had a couple of big hitters and one of them hit big collecting him right on the temple and knocking him out cold. He was presented this trophy by his would be "assassin" during the awards ceremony. There is some conjecture about how long the drive was, the group infront are adament that is was no longer than 180 yards, but the assassin swears it was at least 280???

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

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.

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!!!"Last year I said I'd fix the squeak in the cupbaord door hinge... Right now I have nearly finished remodelling the whole damn kitchen!"

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.

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