Sorry. No matter how often I hear about how much "club distance" is a prime factor in score improvement, I am reminded of relativity which, in turn, reminds me of this old joke.
There were two men who played golf
together frequently. One was several strokes better than the other. The
lesser player was very proud, and never wanted to take any strokes to
even up the game.
One
Saturday morning, he shows up with a gorilla at the first tee. He says
to his friend, "I've been trying to beat you for so long that I'm about
ready to give up. But, I heard about this golfing gorilla, and I was
wondering if it would be alright if he plays for me today. In fact if
you're game, I'd like to try to get back all the money I've lost to you
this year. I figure it comes to about a thousand bucks. Are you willing?"
The other guy thought about it for a minute, and then decided to play
the gorilla. "After all, how good could a gorilla be at golf?" he
thought.
Well, the first hole was a straightaway par 4 of 450 yards.
The guy hits a beautiful tee shot, 275 yards down the middle, leaving
himself a 6 iron to the green. The gorilla takes a few powerful
practice swings and then laces the ball 450 yards, right at the pin,
stopping about 6 inches away from the hole. The guy turns to his friend
and says "That's incredible, I would have never believed it if I hadn't
seen it with my own eyes. But, you know what, I've seen enough. I've
got no interest in being totally humiliated by this gorilla golfing
machine. You send this frigging gorilla back to where he comes from. I
need a drink; better make it a double, and I'll write you a check."
After handing over the check, and well into his second double the guy asks, "By the way, how's that gorilla's putting?"
The other guy replies, "Same as his driving."
"That good, huh?"
"No, I mean, he hits putts the same way - 450 yards, right down the middle!"
Cheers,
