“FORE!”
Well actually, for most of the day it was more like 7 or 8 which is quite sad really and I won’t bother to tell you all the final score. But needless to say, it wasn’t pretty.
Yep, it was golf day on sunday, so off to sunny Yarram I went and played a leisurely 20 holes with Nev. That’s right, 20, I turned left when I shoudda turned right and then had to backtrack 2 holes. Still, I need the practice, so there you go. I didn’t see any cows on the course but there were a lot of kangaroos. Don’t know if that’s significant or not really. Any golfers out there that haven’t played Yarram, do yourselves a favour, it’s a bottler of a course!
Some thoughts On golf and music……
- The more I practice, the better I play.
- The more I use my brain when I practice, the better I play.
- The less I use my brain when I play, the better I play.
- My swing is not that exciting.
- If you hear me shout “Oh Fuckitt”, there’s probably something bad coming your way.
- Both are really hard to be really good at and make money from, and a lot of the time i just end up standing around, playing with my balls.
Thought I’d look up the meaning of “fore” for all you curious people out there, and there is still a bit of debate on how the word came to be.
1. it is an adaptation of the naval terms “foreard” and “aft”
2. there used to be a caddy who would walk ahead of a group to see where shots ended up, he was called the forward caddy and golfers would yell to him if he was in danger of getting hit.
This one is my fave though
3. A popular theory is that the term has a military origin. In warfare of the 17th and 18th century (a time period when golf was really taking hold in Britain), infantry advanced in formation while artillery batteries fired from behind, over their heads. An artilleryman about to fire would yell "beware before," alerting nearby infantrymen to drop to the ground to avoid the shells screaming overhead.
Bugger that!!
I think i'll stick to the trombone........
