Top 10 Laws of Golf

Top 10 Laws of Golf

I had a fun weekend with my family and friends, and the only down side was the Chargers loss in the final 2 seconds of the game. Now it is back to work, so of course I am thinking about next weekend, and how much I would enjoy a round of golf. This has inspired me to make this week’s top 10 list about the laws of golf. Although none of these are actually in the rule book, if you golf they are sure to apply to your game.

1. 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.

2. Brand-new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in a lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water.

3. The higher a golfer’s handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as an instructor.

4. Every par-3 hole in the world has a secret desire to humiliate golfers. The shorter the hole, the greater its desire.

5. Trees eat golf balls.

6. Sand is alive. If it isn’t, how do you explain the way it works against you?

7. Golf carts always run out of juice at the farthest point from the clubhouse.

8. The person you would most hate to lose to will always be the one who beats you.

9. The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be.

10. The player most insistant upon betting is also the worst golfer in the group. Coincidentally, they are also the player to change out of their golf gear, race to their car, and fail to pay their debt to the winner.
