Being the president of my local men’s league I see some pretty dumb score cards. Bad math, no signatures, no names… Here are a couple below with some “comments” which are funny.
Probably my favorite is this one from my city AM back in 2001. Look at the first hole, which I scored a 4 on. After 1 hole I was 41 under par! Every time I play that course I ask them if they have any old scorecards left from that tournament. For about 4 years they did and gave them to me so I could start each round roughly 40 under par!
From the “How hard can it be to cut a green” department:
Yesterday I picked up a golf club for the first time in almost two weeks. The damn back has been really causing problems lately.
So I’m loosening up on the range, trying to figure out what kind of gimpy swing I can manage. While loosening up and realizing it may finally be my time to play again, my pal Grant (pic) jumps into the range tractor. Not being one to squander an opportunity I began to take aim at Grant.
First I hit a 56 degree wedge but put the ball way back on my right foot and hit a British Open punch shot. BAM! Nailed the tractor. When Grant turned around I did it again and BAM, nailed him again.
As Grant got farther away, traversing the range, I clubbed down until I finally ended up with a 6-iron. I kept hitting those punch shots and I nailed Grant’s tractor SIX times in a row. NO misses.
To thank Grant for his patience with me I decided to make him famous (or infamous as the case may be) and post his pic here.
Someone please tell me why I can hit a 10 foot wide moving target but I can’t hit an 8000 square foot green?
SO I take my GS (granny swing or gimp swing) onto the course to see if I can play. I shoot -2 on the back. Hmm… If I take too weeks off and come back with a gimpy swing I shoot better than when I’m 100%. I guess I’ll never figure out this game…

The Golf Grouch at his finest.
Just found a new golf blog through The Golf Space. It’s “Golf Is Hard” and boy is he right.
His motto: “Golf is hard man, real hard. Why is it that just when you think you’ve got it figured out, it all falls apart? A blog about trying to not suck at golf.”
Check out Golf Is Hard at http://golfishard.blogspot.com. Yeah it’s blogger and a stock blogger template, but maybe he’ll customize it later down the road. Go say hello.
