Bowling and Golf AGAIN.
« on: January 13, 2004, 06:56:14 AM »
Was bowling last night and these 2 old
codgers were talking about bowling and golf.

One codger says to the other codger:

You know I think I would rather play golf than bowl.
2nd codger says whys that??

1st codger says if you do everything right in golf
you know you are going to hit the ball well.
2nd codger says hows that???

1st codger says well take my bowling. If I execute and deliver
a good ball to the pocket 6 times out of 10 I am going to
leave a single pin to shoot at. And if I hit a good golf ball 10 out
of 10 times the ball is going to fly straight, or go where it was supposed
to, or do what it was supposed to ALL 10 of those times.

Wheres the reward in bowling???
Just something to think about. bones I know you will have something to add here.

That is not true!

Yes the ball will fly straight but it does not mean it will bounce right!

The perfect example of that is Jean VanDe Velde of France.

Hits a shot over water into bleachers in 99 British open.  Usually a safe place for a pro to hit (they give you a free drop)  instead ball hits top edge of fence flies backwards 30 yards lands in 2 feet deep grass now back behind water again.

Has to now try to advance and hits into the water.
Goes down in history as one of the biggest chokers of all time!

Many a time I've laced a shot down the fairway and had it bounce in the rough.
Many a time at major championships I've see one player hit a ball 300 yards and land one foot inside fairway.  Next guy hits exact the same or better and shot bounces OUT to the rough and goes in only ONE foot off the fairway.

Difference of 2 feet at 300 yards is less than 1/4 of an inch at 60 feet our format!

2nd player now has to lay up and loses tournament.

Don't think there are not bad breaks in golf.  They happen!

What they forget to mention is that being able to consistently hit a golf ball is incredibly difficult even with years of practice. The slightest mistake can cause a shot to go off the fairway.
