A Post from a Women's Golf Forum

4. Recent game by joycejones, 2/17/05 16:08 ET
Recently I was playing with my normal group on Tuesday afternoon. We are all in the 15-25 handicap range. As usual, it was a real laugh riot with many stories told about kids, baking, soccer, etc. After about 6 uneventful holes we were standing in the fairway when a ball suddenly came from out of nowhere and landed squarely on my friend Linda's head. She of course fell down and was close to unconscienceness. We all looked around to see where the ball came from and to our surprise a group of elderly gentlemen from behind us began shouting for us to get out of the way saying that we'd taken over two hours to play 6 holes with no one in front of us. Another player in our group, Megan grabbed her putter from the bag and charged the loudest of the old men. They immediately began hitting each other until she struck him on the head and he fell to the ground not moving. The end to all this is that the man is now in the county hospital in a coma and on life support while Megan is out on bail and awaiting trial for assult. The lesson I've learned from all this is that basically men are bastards and can't be trusted to share a course with women.
