991.0. "Stupid Golf Questions..." by 5WOOD::FITZPATRICK (Today my jurisdiction ends here.) Thu Jun 28 1990 13:22

    	A friend of mine is taking her first golf lesson today.  The pro
    told her to come with 3 stupid questions.  She's got two:
    
    	1.  Will playing golf make me a bore?
    	2.  If golf is unnatural, is it necessarily immoral?
    
    	She needs a third.  Any suggestions?

991.4Bats...SNOFS1::VETTENude Mud Wrestlers AnonymousThu Jun 28 1990 21:2010
This was a real question asked when a friend of mine was teaching his
girlfriend to play:

	"Which bat do I use??"

We have referred to them (clubs) as bats ever since. In fact all sporting 
implements that are used to strike balls are bats: tennis bats, hockey bats,
and baseball racquets (there has to be an exception).

    "Where is your wife while you're on the golf course!"
991.16She's where she should be!LABC::MCCLUSKYWed Jul 18 1990 12:569
    She's about ten feet behind me, cleaning the club I just used,
    referring to my yardage chart for the next shot and carrying my
    bag, while she plans an intimate evening at home with candlelight,
    champagne, escargot, french onion soup, ceasar salad, veal
    saltimboca, peaches flambe' and cognac in front of the fire to
    begin our lovemaking (that's after she gets the kids to bed and
    irons my shirts and packs my bag for the trip East).
