Golf-Toons #43 Hogans Ghost

There are times golf reminds me of a religion.

Like most faiths, the golfer’s sabbath is usually a weekend event and the more devout congregate multiple times a week. The clubhouse is the church and the head pro the pastor. Even a trip to the sacred grounds of Augusta or St. Andrews could be likened to a pilgrimage to the origins of the golfing religion.

Our prophets are names like Tom Morris and Donald Ross. Our sainted include Bobby Jones, Seve Ballesteros, Payne Stewart and Arnold Palmer. The sport of golf is also vitally involved in charity, raising money to help fight disease and poverty.

But since our goal here is to make us laugh at some of the difficulties and absurdities of the game I leave you with an old joke.

A golfer comes home after a round dejected and tired. His wife says, “What’s the matter honey?”

“Oh we had a terrible thing happen on the course. Joe dropped dead from a heart attack in the middle of the round,” the husband says mournfully.

“That’s awful. What did you guys do?,” asked the wife.

“Swing. Drag Joe. Swing. Drag Joe. By the end of the round we we’re exhausted.”

The 16th Hole, The Old Course. If there was ever a hole meant to be played along the ground. Seeing these pictures again make me want to take a walk with a 4-iron and an old pair of cleats. #golf #WalkingGolfer #TheOldCourse #links (at The Old Course, St Andrews) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAhFPrulCJj/?igshid=1emd79ns1p6bl

On the 12th day of Christmas, #golf gave to me...The Old Course at St. Andrews, the most universally beloved place in all of golf. I put my first tee shot in the first fairway, hit the middle of the 1st green with my approach, and two-putted for an easy par. After that, I enjoyed perhaps one of the great walks in all the world. Famously a golf course that was found rather than made, The Old Course presents a playing field on which any golfer, no matter how novice, can enjoy. In fact, the better the player, the more the course's subtlety will affect the golfer. We played it in late October. I loved the look of the course; it had what appeared as a proper balance of green and brown hues to the turf, bunkers, and gorse. It truly is a Mecca for golfers of all stripes. It's not terrible picturesque, it doesn't provide great views of the sea, and it's not overly difficult. But it is probably the coolest golf course that most anyone can play. I'm glad I can say I've made the pilgrimage. And I'll look forward to the next time I get to play it. I hope you've enjoyed your 12 days of Christmas as much as I have! #GolfTrip #walkinggolfer #ScottishGolf #golfcoursearchitecture #TheOldCourse #StAndrews #LinksGolf (at Old Course at St Andrews) https://www.instagram.com/p/B68vkftlVjK/?igshid=19us4y9uvetyy
