Laws of Golf

Check out the Laws of Golf by Al Lowe. This is great stuff, and so true. A few of our favorites:

A severe slice is a thing of awesome power and beauty.

During your swing, never think about more than a hundred separate things.

Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

To calculate the speed of a player’s downswing, multiply the speed of his backswing by his handicap. Example: backswing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing 600 mph.

It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. Of course, you don’t get to ride in a cart, drink beer, smoke cigars and fart while performing brain surgery.

...There are about 100 nuggets like this.

Hope you enjoyed Amy's review of Strawberry Ridge. It looks like we might get rained out at Birdsfoot this weekend, but the weather is less predictable than my draw.
