Comment: (6/7/09): I played at a course in New Jersey where this one guy, last name Murphy, was listed like a dozen times on the Hole In One plaque on the wall. Never seen him, or met him, but I played there all the time. I wonder if he'd come off the course, check the bar to see how much it was going to cost him to buy the house a round, before he decided if today was the day for another Hole In One!

Wrists and The Golf Swing:(by comedian, golfer, and ISAG contributor Bill Dwyer...good stuff.)
I just read an article by a scientist that claims the wrists are not that important in a golf swing. Now, before you head out and schedule some sort of wrist reduction, or God help us, wrist removal surgery, let’s think about this rationally. You take your wrists out of the equation via removal and what happens? You got no place for your wristwatch. Do you want to carry a pocket watch your whole life? That means always wearing a button-down vest with a pocket. Are you prepared to commit to that look for the rest of your life? What about your shirts? You get your wrists removed, all of a sudden- everything’s too long. If you have a good tailor, like I do, then you just bring them in to him, and he alters them no problem. But he’ll be full of questions. “Whya youa getta ridda you wristsa?” Someday I’ll figure out that accent. Look, God designed us as perfect golfing machines. Every part where it ought to be. Every part a function. It’s a golfing assembly line, with a tan. That’s why you never see Cher golfing. She had that rib removed- she’s been fighting a snap hook ever since. I’m Bil Dwyer, every inch of me original parts, and thanks for checking out The Range Show.

TIGER AND JACK SKINS GAME:(Jack holds his own, Tiger does what Tiger does.) full story
Video courtesy ESPN Sports
Comment: (6/5/09)"I love it that Jack was able to take 2 skins and come in 2nd. Very cool. Let's have a one on one, Jack and Tiger, handicap it by taking Tiger's woods out of the bag, or Tiger hits from further back off the Tee. Whatever the difference is between their current driving distance..50 yards?
Kyle, Az.

GOLF QUOTES AND TRUE-ISMS:
Fairway: a narrow strip of mown grass that separates two groups of golfers looking for lost balls in the rough. Henry Beard and Roy McKie
Trouble is bad to get into but fun to get out of. If you're in trouble, eighty percent of the time there's a way out. If you can see the ball, you can probably hit it; and if you can hit it, you can move it; and if you can move it, you might be able to knock it in the hole. At least it's fun to try. - Arnold Palmer
A ball will always come to rest halfway down a hill, unless there is sand or water at the bottom. - Henry Beard
The best advice I can give for playing a ball out of water is - don't.
- Tony Lema
The hardest shot in golf is a mashie at 90 yards from the green, where the ball has to be played against an oak tree, bounces back into a sandtrap, hits a stone, bounces on the green and then rolls into the cup. That shot is so difficult I have made it only once. - Zeppo Marx
If your ball lands within a club length of a rattlesnake you are allowed to move the ball. - Local rule at Glen Canyon GC in Arizona
If your adversary is badly bunkered, there is no rule against your standing over him and counting his strokes aloud, with increasing gusto as their number mounts up; but it will be a wise precaution to arm yourself with the niblick before doing so, so as to meet him on equal terms. - Horace Hutchinson
