Are the golf gods with you, or against you? A fun read
« on: December 24, 2008, 04:48:27 PM »
I found this and thought it was a fun read.

Do you blame the golf gods for both the good and the bad?  Or just the architect?  ;D

An excerpt:

"The search for real answers starts with Father Pasquale Vuoso, pastor of St. Sebastian's Catholic Church in Santa Paula, Calif., and a priest who has been known to end Sunday Mass with a rundown of his most recent golf scores.

"In golf," Vuoso begins, "most things are going to go wrong."

Yes, this is truly a golfer speaking. Still, he says, if we're waiting for God to help us on the golf course, "we're in real trouble."

For Vuoso, who plays to a 6.0 index, the challenge of golf is built right into the game. It's not God that creates good and bad bounces, he says, it's golf. That's a mature statement, especially coming from someone who hit a drive the last time he played that bounced on the cart path and rolled 75 yards right back toward him. "

My response, based solely on the title of your thread, would be "he was with me last week, and against me as he slept on the plane".

Merry Christmas

The last time I teed off, it was the starters pistol for all the furies of the golf gods to come riding into Black Rock on their steeds of vengeance... :o

That's what happens when you play with me, Pat.  You play in the street, you dodge the cars. ;D

I asked Santa for a golf game last year, but must have mis-spelled his name on the letter because Satan replied and gave me the golf game from hell! ;D
