I was on the course when the funeral passed by. I stopped mid swing and bowed my head. That was the least I could do after being married to her for almost 46 years.
So, we've a;; heard these types of Golf jokes...right?
I lived one.
Me a bud got to about the 12th or 13th hole, he wasn't feeling too chipper...he decided to to lie down just behind the tee box.
I say "John, you okay?"..
He replies, "I just need to lie down for a bit, go ahead and tee off"
So me and the two guys we were paired up with, tee off.
So I go back to John and tell him he's up..."naw, I'm just gonna rest a bit" he says.
I ask him "You sure you are okay?"..."I'll be fine", he say's...this goes back and forth 3 or 4 times...and finally I "pull myself away and head out for my ball.
Oh, did I mention I was only 4 over at the time?
So, me and the other two gent go on to finish the round, as we get to 18 over looking the clubhouse, I see red lights flashing, a firetruck and a ambulance.
I'm thinking "what the heck is going on?"
Well, we finish up...(I blew the chance at my 2nd sub 80 BTW ), go into the clubhouse to get a cool drink and they have it blocked off with Firemen and EMT's. and there's my buddy John, stretched out on the table with like 3 guys working on him...Oxy mask, IV in him, whole bunch of chit happening.
They didn't want to let me through...but he motioned "OK"...I get up to him and apologize/etc., wishing he'll be okay, so on and so on...
He pull's his mask back a bit and says "how could you just leave me there?"
I said "Eff John, I was only 4 over!"
When he got out of the hospital the next day, he was soooooooo happy to find out I didn't break 80.
True story.
