I really like, hate, like, hate, You get the picture, that game. Play at least once a week. Not a good golfer but I play.

Here is a little known fact. They Really don’t like it when you park the cart on the greens. Who Knew?

You know your a redneck if you think a divot is a high class name for the ruts your truck makes while cutting hookers on the golf course.

skeet golf
one person drives, the other shoots
There are a two possible incarnations of this sport: 1: If you have a buddy that likes golf (and you can stand this person's company), have the golfer hit drives while you attempt to pick the ***** out of the air with a shotgun. You might have to limit the golfer to a sand wedge to make this possible, unless you are an incredible snap shot. 2: Set yourself up quickly at a driving range with a 12 gauge shotgun. Try to shoot any ball that comes off the line. If people stop hitting *****, yell 'Pull'. You might have to persuade them with the gun to get the ***** going again.
I have yet to try either of these out. I'm guessing it will be much more challenging that those big, slow clay pigeons.

Yep, took it up about 2 years ago for business reasons. I do enjoy it but I'm not very good. Played a nice course yesterday. On a typical day I score around 68...
then I make the turn!

I have pulled carts out of rivers, irrigation ponds (we had to get a diver in to hook the chain up it was so deep), Carts that hit trees, engines blown from governor tamapering the list goes on.What I basically stated was for every 99 people that obey the rules there is one that doesn't. I am sure people who "chase" the fire truck to get through traffic burn your butt too, or maybe getting to a fire and finding out the hydrant is blocked by a minivan and you have to route the hose through the vehicle windows..... hey wait that would be fun anyway you get the point.

I went to retrieve one of my wayward ***** out of a supposed "dry pond" only to discover it was only solid about 5' out from the edge. The next step at 5' 6" got a little mushy but I was determined to get that new ball. The next step I went in up to my knees in what I can only describe as raw sewage stinkin' black gumbo mud. You know the kind that puts a death grip on ya. Mr. Flash and several other golfers (whom I hope I never see again out of embarrassment) formed a humane chain with Mr. Flash holding out his driver for me to latch on too. After a successful rescue and the location of the nearest water hose, I finished my round barefooted. Needless to say if my ball ever goes into a “dry pond” again it’s just going to stay there. I did get a new pair of golf shoes out of the deal, the old ones stunk so bad I had to trash them.
