Fore!!!!!!!- you will end up in the hospital..

Actor/ Comedian, Bill Murray hooked a tee shot so badly during the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am event. The ball sailed across a street next to the hole and hit a woman in her front yard. She was knocked to the ground and had to go to the hospital.

Murray was on No. 9 at the TPC Tampa Bay during the first round of the Outback Pro-Am when he hit Gail DiMaggio as she was watching the tournament. He was playing with Hal Sutton, Jeff Sluman and Fred Paglia. They continued while Murray’s caddy took him in a cart to the woman’s yard, where paramedics were attending to her. Tournament officials said DiMaggio was lying on the ground, but conscious and moving. “I wasn’t sure I was in bounds or not,” Murray said. “And I saw this NBC golf cart coming at me and he said, ‘I hate to be the one to tell you this but you hit a lady. She’s down on the ground.’ That is, you know, sobering...
Dear God, I have one confession…. I had also did hit my golf mates during I was 24 handicappers. To be more specific, my beloved srixon 3 golf ball sliced and hit the old man’s head. (don’t blame me but blame the equipment!!!). I’m so lucky that he is still alive today

Pre-War Golf Story

Have you seen pre-war golf clubs used by golfers before WWW1?. Take a look images below even though some its only a replica which not available these days. Notice the golf driver and those golf ball? Even Tiger Wood will find it difficult to draw above 320 yards..


I quite amaze with the outfit and the golf gear the players wear those days…. Macho beb!!!

Btw, according to http://www.home.aone.net/, The word "golf" is recorded as long ago as 1457, in the statutes of the Scottish Parliament, when the sport was banned because it interfered with archery practice. The word was also spelled "gowf", reflecting the way the Scots pronounced it. Some say the word derives from an Old Dutch word "kolf, kolven" meaning club, clubs. I wonder….

White Ball Poem



In my hand I hold a ball....white and dimpled, rather small....
Oh , how bland it does appear....this harmless looking little sphere....
By its size I could not guess....the awesome strength it does possess....
But since I fell beneath it's spell....I've wandered through the fires of hell..
My life has not been quite the same....Since I chose to play this stupid game....
It rules my mind for hours on end...A fortune it has made me spend....
It has made me swear and yell and cry....I hate myself and want to die....
It promises a thing called par....If I can hit straight and far ....
To master such a tiny ball....should not be very hard at all ...
But my desires the ball refuses....and does exactly like it chooses....
It hooks and slices, dribbles and dies....and even disappears before my eyes....
Often it will take a whim....to hit a tree or take a swim....
With miles of grass on which to land....it finds a tiny patch of sand....
Then has me offering up my soul....if only it would find the hole....
It's made me whimper like a pup....and swear that I will give it up....
And take a drink to ease my sorrow....but the ball knows..... I'll be back tomorrow!!!!
