It is time to quit Golf If . . .
Published May 12, 2004
You can remember for a week the one good shot you had in the round.
The ball retriever is the most often used piece of equipment in your bag.
You and your group have rules for Mulligans.
(Mulligan: a shot that, against the rules, a golfer allows an pponent to take again)
You leave the pin in when you are on the fringe 8 feet from the pin in the hope it will stop your ball.
The starter leaves a one hour gap after your tee off time.
When you call fore on a par three, and everyone runs to the green for safety.
(Fore: shouted to warn people that you are hitting a golf ball in their direction)
The club has named a pond in front of the green after you.
