Weekend Smiles - The laws of golf!

LAW #1 - No matter how bad your last show was, the worst is yet to come.  This law does not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to extend over the course of a tournament, a summer and, eveuntually, a lifetime.
LAW #2 - Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your worst round ever.  The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about he former.
LAW #3 - Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic.  Though this cannot be proven in a lab, it is a known fact tht the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water.
LAW #4 - Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play.  If one does, the tree is breaking the law and should be cut down.
LAW#5 - No matter what causes a golfer to muff a shot, all his playing partners must solemnly chant "you looked up" or invoke the wrath of the universe.
LAW #6 - The higher a golfer's handicap, the more qualified she/he deems themselves as an instructor.
LAW #7 - Every par-three hole in the world has a secret desire to humiliate golfers.  The shorter the hole, the greater the desire.
LAW #8 - Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture know to man kind.
LAW #9 - Palm trees eat golf balls.
LAW #10 - Sand is alive.  If it is not, how do you explain the way it works against you?
LAW#11 - Golf carts always run out of juice at the farthest point from the clubhouse.
LAW#12 - A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group.  Likewise, a group you accidently hit into will consist of a football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an IRS agent - or some similar combination.
LAW#13 - All 3-woods are demon-possessed.
LAW#14 - Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into water (see Law #3).
LAW#15 - A severe slice is a thing of awesome power and beauty.
LAW#16 - "Nice lag" can usually be translated to "lousy putt".  Similarly "tough break" can usually be translated "way to miss an easy one".
LAW #17 - The person you would most hate to lose to will always be the one who beats you.
LAW#18 - The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be.
LAW#19 - Golf should be given up at least twice per month.
LAW#20 - All vows taken on the golf course shall only be valid until sunset.

August News!


I apologize for not keeping up with the blogs.  I am unsure if anyone reads them!

First of all, I would like to congratulate all of the women golfers who participated in the Club Championships this past weekend.  Congrats to the winners of the flight divisions and Congrats to the contenders!  You had beautiful weather for the most part!

There are three more league nights for the women's section. I strongly urge you to come out and count for your team!  The Women's Committee is working now on the Closing Event, which will be much like last year's event, but with Darren's help, hopefully without complaints and/or injuries to those coming up 18 fairway on to the green! 

The Women's Committee is looking for new members to join!  If you are interested in helping out with this committee, please see either Sandra Shank, Kim Moir, Barb Ivak, Jackie Mote, Cathy Thompson or myself, Diane Harris.  We would like to see some sub-committees formed as well, which will help out for different events.  That way, we would begin to build different groups of women, which will offer more ideas and changes to the women's section.

Change is always hard, but it ends up being the most refreshing thing that can be done.  The one thing in my life that I could always count on was "change".  It keeps you young and keeps you thinking!!

The women's committee will be meeting within the next two weeks to discuss the upcoming events, as well as the closing events.  Although we are only in the early part of August, we must start to prepare for the fall!

Please think about joining the Women's Committee - whether it be on the actual committee or a sub-committee.  We need your ideas and we need your energy!

Enjoy the rest of August!! - It seems to be going  a bit fast for my liking!!

See you on the course!

Diane.
