Rules are Meant to be Broken!
| Two friends were playing golf one day. | |
| They decided that they would adhere strictly to the rules | |
| with no improving their lie. After a few holes, one guy's | |
| ball landed on a cart path. | |
| As he reached down to pick up his ball to get relief his | |
| friend said, | |
| "We agreed that we would not improve our lie." | |
| No matter how much the first fellow tried to explain that | |
| he was entitled to this relief, the second fellow would | |
| not allow it. So the man went to the cart to get a club. | |
| As he stood over the ball he took a few practice swings, | |
| each time scraping the club on the pavement, taking out | |
| big chunks of blacktop and sending out lots of sparks! | |
| Finally, after several practice swings he took his shot. | |
| The ball took off and landed on the green about 6 feet from | |
| the pin. | |
| "Great shot!" his friend exclaimed. "What club did you use?" | |
| "YOUR 7-iron!" he replied. |

Golf Quotes - the last one actually happened at the Turkey Cup Challenge!
"I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."
"One of the reasons Arnie Palmer is playing so well is that, before each final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them. Oh my God, what have I just said."
"Give me the fresh air, a beautiful partner, and a nice round of golf... and you can keep the fresh air and the round of golf."
"You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work."
"It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course."
"I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced."
"These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow."
"Golf is a game in which you yell "fore," shoot six, and write down five."
"Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at."
"If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball"

Excuses after a bad shot at the Turkey Cup Challenge!!
A fly landed on my ball right when I hit.
A squirrel picked up my ball and put it in the bunker.
A squirrel pushed my ball into the trap, the good-for-nothing wannabe rats.
After that last shot, I'm just too embarrassed to try and hit the ball.
All the golf schools I liked were too expensive - so I self-taught.
Before the sex change, I was allowed to hit from the red tee. Its just too difficult to score now.
Bermuda grass sucks. My club keeps getting stuck.
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
Damn it, have you no etiquette? Please quit breathing when I swing.
Didn't you hear that sound in the woods during my swing? It sounded like a duck. What's that smell?
Ever since I made a hole-in-one, I can't concentrate.
Fore!
From three hundred yards out it looks like the green sloped away. I should have laid up.
Golf is about etiquette, not playing well.
Golf isn't fun if it's competitive, so I don't try hard.
Hackers tore up the green. I can't play competively under these circumstances.
I aimed my shoulder too far left of the target.
I always aim too far left when coming out of the bunker.
I always choke when money is on the line.
I always get kicked off the course for being intoxicated. This is the first round I've finished.

Tuesday Golf Funny!
Didn't Yell Fore
A golfer hits a wicked slice off the tee that ricochets through the trees andinto the next fairway, narrowly missing another golfer.
when the first golfer gets to his ball, he is greeted by his unintended
victim, who angrily tells him of the near miss.
"i'm sorry, i didn't have time to yell fore," says the poor golfer.
"that's funny", replies the other guy, "because you had plenty of time to yell
s***!"

(Subject to Change)
Ye Olde Turkey
(incorporating the Turkey
Revision: October 31st, 2011
- To be played annually (in November) at a location selected by the host of the Madison
- Generally, to be played the day after Thanksgiving
- Winner to receive the prestigious turkey butt clubhead cover (which must be carried on winner’s bag at all times during play for the ensuing year)
Keep individual scores per foursome as follows:
1) First on the green 1 point
2) Closest to the hole from off the green 1 point
3) First in (first putt only) 1 point
4) Snake at end of 9 (last golfer to 3 putt) -2 points
If two or more players three-putt a given hole, the “last” to three-putt is the last player to have attempted his second putt and missed. Headgear or other suitably embarrassing attire as decided by the rules committee must be worn by the player currently carrying the snake until he is relieved of such burden by another player or until the end of the respective nine. Only putts from the green count toward three-putts, and fringe putts don’t count.
5) Snake at end of 18 -4 points
On the second nine, the snake competition “starts over,” that is, the holder of the snake at the end of the first nine does not carry it over to the tenth hole. See #4 for other snake rules.
6) One mulligan off tee box per golfer allowed per 9 holes (but once you announce that you are taking a mulligan, then you must play that ball – i.e. no “druthers”)
7) One OB “Safety” per golfer allowed per 9 holes (place OB ball at any location on fairway)
The OB must be deemed and accepted as “unintentional” by the other players in the group.
You can buy an OB “Safety” off another player for an agreed upon sum at any time as long as they have an available OB “Safety” to sell.
8) BMW 1 point to others in group
Bitch, moan and/or whine about a shot that ended up with a result that did not justify the level of bitching, moaning and whining. A BMW must be “called” (i.e. suggested) by someone in the foursome and generally agreed to by the others in the group, except the BMWer
9) FISO (you putt and you’re still out!) 1 point to others in group
FISO does not apply on parts of the course other than the putting surface.
