Golf Truisms

  If you've ever played golf you know that the following is so true;

  1. Since bad shots come in roups of 3...the 4th bad shot is the beginning of the next group.

  2. When your shot has to carry a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

  3. You can hit a 2 acre fairway 10% f the time and a 2 inch tree branch 90% of the time.

  4. A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents luck.

  5. You a put "draw" on a ball, you can put "fade" on a ball, but you can't put straight on a ball.

  These are but a few, please add more to the list

  You get ahead in an A/S match and all You worry about is if your going to get disconnected.

  The higher a golfer's handicap, the more likely he is to try to tell you what you're doing wrong.

  You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10-percent of the time, but hit a 2-inch branch 90-percent of the time.

  A Rock Hudson Putt: Looks straight...but it ain't...

  Golf is a game, invented by God to punish guys who retire early.

  Oxymoron: An easy par three.

  The only sure way to find a drive sliced deep into the woods is to hit a provisional ball 260 yards down the middle.

  Curly, downhill, left-to-right putts are usually followed by curly, uphill, right-to-left putts.

  
  If you're out in 39 and home in 45 you're playing wartime golf.

  The shorter the putt, the smaller the hole becomes.

  The shortest distance between the ball and the target is never a straight line.
