When I look at a golf course, I see a sad waste of pasturage and/or a rifle range.

You know why golfers bring extra socks to the golf course?
In case they get a hole in one.

Twain obviously didn’t live on a golf course.
I do. Same house for 33 years in my neighborhood of Golf Hammock where the streets and homes surround the course. Never played a single hole. Did use the cart path for dog walks until the old Dachshund (20 come July 4th!) just couldn’t make it anymore. Those were pleasant walks as the man said, no more. But still, my acre with woods on the sides and the course at the back means I never have to interact with neighbors other than the occasional wave. Overlooking huge green fairway and pond is the nicest biggest yard you can imagine. Unspoiled other than the occasional gator and a few old duffers riding their carts around but a good 200 yards away from me.
So yeah, golf is a great game for anti-socials and “nature” lovers like me.
The late L. Neil Smith had an interesting twist on Golf in his novel THE VENUS BELT. The course was a Hogan’s Alley-type target range, with par being based on accuracy and the speed of the shooter. Allowances had to be made for the type of weapon: revolver, automatic, coil gun…and no lasers or plasma guns allowed–too much damage to the landscaping.

Beverley Hillbillies episode where they went hunting for “golfs”
Yeah, I’m that old
Hey now, I golf with my wife and a few friends, we get in all kinds of ranging practice across varied terrain. đ itâs way too short for any rifle practice, but we have considered taking along the AR golf ball launcher to improve Driving distance. (Though itâs not much of an accuracy improvement) LOL
I’ve never been much of a sports fan. Much prefer watching canine sports. Agility, dock diving, skijoring, etc. The joy and dedication the dogs and owners show is amazing.
âBilly, the reason the game is called “golf” is because all of the other four-letter words have been takenâ Leslie Nielsen’s Bad Golf Made Easier. Always a classic
My daughter trolls the football fans by calling it âHand Eggâ. Come on, they throw and carry the ball which isnât even round, itâs egg shaped. You find out real quick who has a sense of humor.

Puck drop tonight. Ice hockey (the only real sport) is back.
What is this NFL you speak of?
How about curling? I could even do a sport like that. A little training, a lot of practice and away I go.
Just sweep that man out of your hair.
Good one! That was punny. Like it.

No longer the gai-est sport.
Professional sports in general have become nothing but an endless drag show.

Just put on your orange polyester Polk-a-dot pants and hit the links.
Have a neighbor that calls golf “fag hockey.”
“Golf is a pleasant walk spoiled.”

Hear, hear! Eon nailed it!
I think the two should be combined. Shotguns on the drives. Rifles on the fairways. Handguns on the greens.

Maybe they need the tampons to treat all the stab wounds and GSW?
