The great game of golf,
requiring skills of the the body and mind as well as an inner strength
sometimes too difficult to to describe let alone call upon, also from time
to time has a large enough element of luck.
The luck good or bad is the
part of the game called "the rub of the green", the tails of woo that are "the rub of the green"
bring out a plethora of excuses that
range from utter non-sense to pathetic, the blatant to the sublime. But in the
end they are all...well....simply put excuses. And if you have played golf for
long you've heard a "thousand of them", uttered more than a few and laughed
to the point of tears at some. If you are new to the game of golf game you'll
soon be amazed at the creative thinking that golfers often put into their
excuses, not only those of others but your own as well.
What is also interesting about the
golfers excuses, (besides the creative and humor) is how telling they are
about the speaker, for example this little quote by golfing great Gary
Player about those that "blame" a golf course " Anyone who
criticizes a golf course is like a person invited to a house for dinner who, on
leaving, tells the host that the food was lousy." |
