I have to admit that I am not much for Stats today. The good news was playing in 4 hours and 25 minutes and the bad news was about 2 1/2 hours of that was in a steady drizzle. Definitely a more enjoyable game when the sun is shining.
Our illustrious blogmeister left out anecdote that could pose a moral dilemma of sorts. On the 14th hole our hero asked a question of another member of the foursome as to what he was doing with his ball when lining up his putts. When the answer came back that there is writing on the ball that forms a straight line and the object is to point the line towards the hole and stroke the ball with the center of the putter hitting the line, sending it straight to the hole - he asked if all balls had that line. Upon closely examining his ball the line was found but 2 other interesting facts surfaced.
1. the ball was a Pro V-1 - (which of course was found not purchased) They cost about $58 a dozen
2. The ball had the word "Lady" on it.

What to do? A ball that has been in play for 14 holes is discovered to be an expensive ball, but designed for a women.

What would our hero do? Continue playing with the ball or take out another one?
What would you do?
I won't spoil it by telling you what happened next.
But I will add to drama by saying that our hero's next hole was one of the best of his day. Long tee shot, rescue club close to the green. pitch on in 3.

But which ball did he use????

The discriptive "hero" is certainly 'misused' in this scenerio.

Dearest Bud-- Loved the blog. It reveals the machinations of a warped and potentially dangerous mind. I have forwarded your web address to the proper authorities.

mmm . . . golf and cannibalism are two words you don't usually see together but, somehow, our sensei was able to pull it off.
