4 Iron Shank?

Jul 8, 2010 | Posted by Jay Franzese

A special congratulations goes out to the team named "the 4 iron shanks" for pulling out their first win of the season. Team captain Kevin Matthews has been waiting for this opportunity to feel what its like to go home with a "W" in his back pocket, great job gentlemen.

Darryl Somers took top honours in the Low Net category shooting a blistering net 30, and once again Colin Morgan cleaned up the Low Gross with another easy, boring 32. Dont we all wish we could be so boring?

The closest to the pin winners this week were:

Orchard # 2 John Klassen - Sun Life Financial Shootout WInner

Orchard # 6 Keith Baugaard

Orchard # 8 Joe Capobianco

Be sure to check out the team standings and your "mildly interesting stats" for this season, some teams are jockeying for position at the top and its up to everyones participation to keep those teams up there. And remeber the "Shanks" may be pretty far back but its not over till its over.

A Little Humour

The Laws of Golf

LAW 1: No matter how bad your last shot 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, eventually, 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 the former.

LAW 3: Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that 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 a law of the universe 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 he deems himself 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 its desire.

LAW 8: Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.

LAW 9: Palm trees eat golf balls.

LAW 10: Sand is alive. If it isn't, 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 accidentally 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 the water (See Law three).

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, sucker."

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 a golf course shall be valid only until the sunset.

The Unwritten Rules of Golf - The Dick Out

Jun 17, 2010 | Posted by Jay Franzese

I try to avoid stating things in absolutes but I’m prepared to go out on a limb in this particular case. I figure I’ve played somewhere in the range of 750 rounds in my life - at some of the snootiest private clubs and some of the most uninspired goat tracks - and I’m prepared to go on record as saying that the only rule in golf that is recognized immediately, interpreted correctly and the penalty assessed 100% accurately is the Dick Out. I don’t care if the Virgin Mary was playing alongside the Good Lord Himself. If He popped one up on # 6 and His ball came to rest short of the red tees I am absolutely positive the Holy Mother would glance over at the All Powerful and demand to see if He had ever visited a Mohel. So it shall be written, so it shall be done. Mr. Matthews you know what im talking about........
