Golfing Injustice
I love golf. However, sometimes, like life, the game just doesn't seem fair!
I've been playing golf fairly freqently for more than 30 years and, whilst I've come close, I have never achieved that miracle shot: a hole-in-one. Indeed these days I'm pretty happy to hit the green let alone get it close.
Yesterday I arrived home to be greeted by a big grin on the face of my 13-year-old son. Yes, it transpired that he had not just been enjoying the school holidays but had indeed aced the short 17th at Wyong. Recovering from the shock, I informed him that many a golfer goes to their grave without getting a hole-in-one. And he had managed to fluke one only a few months after graduating to full-sized clubs!
Do I sound jealous? You bet!
Posted to Golf by Keith PittyThere is no justice in golf. I play fairly regularly with one chap: in spite of him being a better golfer than me, we usually score around the same. He got a hole in one a couple of weeks ago.
