Been hit more times than Tyson!
If like me you think that the golf ball Fairy is going to steal all of your balls if you leave them in the garage while you play, then like me you may have far too many balls in your sack.
This is something that I only noticed I was doing just lately, why I do it I’m not sure, but I actually found a bunch of real nasties in the garage a few weeks back and just proceeded to put them in my ball pouch.
Now, it must be that at some time, when I wasn’t concentrating, I took them out of my sack and put them out of the way in the garage like a sensible person would. These balls look like they’ve been used to hammer-in nails, they are real dogs.
It made me chuckle to myself, because it must have taken me ten minutes to ram them in my bag, and it was bulging so bad that I couldn’t even get my glove out the side pocket which is a totally separate pocket on my bag.
Yet, I didn’t give up til I’d finished the job. I also felt quite proud of myself that I’d managed to get this many balls in the bag, until I walked in the garage the next day and thought that my golf bag had grown a large tumour.
I must be a secret magpie or something akin to one, like one of those people you see on the TV that never throws anything away their entire life, I think they call them Hoarders.
These balls, there was never a chance I was ever going to hit one again, they had about as much chance of a date with my Driver as I have of taking Katie Price out to dinner, only so she can watch my kids, with her being such a good mum(!).
I think I worked out that if I lost 6 balls on every hole, I’d still take home more balls than Titleist produce in a week (I wish). There must have been 50 balls in there, maybe more. It was enough to spend 30 minutes on the Driving Range with for sure.
I’m the same with Tee’s, I must have close to a thousand in my bag, all different lengths, styles and colours. Why I don’t just take them out I don’t know, but I think part of writing this article is trying to make myself see sense.
It’s funny how we all get strange habits at times isn’t it, and funny that you only notice you’re doing it when you’ve, unfortunately, been doing it long enough for everyone else to notice and start thinking you’re a weirdo.
Oh well, I suppose I’d better get it cleared up ready for the competition at the weekend… and take those 4 Drivers out at the same time!
What?!
