I went to play golf for the first time in about 3 years this week.
I went down to the local course and since I'd not played for a while I asked the Pro (who by the way is a mate of mine) if he fancied a round to give me a few tips to improve my game, or at least get it back where it was 3 years ago.
So, am standing on the First, get my driver out (always a mistake) I wind back and release....
Ball goes about 25 yrds (barely makes it past the ladies tee, but did so saved the obligatory penalty!) so I ask my mate what was wrong. His answer....
'LOFT!'
I probed for more, but he would not elaborate.
Any way, bit scratchy, but work our way around the course.
We get to the 11th, I'm in the fringe (not always a pain, but not the best from a Golfing perspective) so dilema, chip from the fringe or putt from the rough... So I elect for the wedge. Well, I get too good a contact and the ball goes sailing past the hole, over the green and into the bunker on the other side.
so I ask my mate what was wrong. His answer....
'LOFT!'
I probed for more, but he would not elaborate.
Any way, cut a long story short, got to the last, I'm three feet from the hole, and well I 4 putt (IT WAS WET!!!)
so I ask my mate what was wrong. His answer....
'LOFT!'
I'm steaming by now, so I say,
'Look, I fluff a drive and your answer is LOFT'
'I chip from the finge and over hit it, and your answer is LOFT'
'I can't putt for toffee, and your answer is LOFT'
'What in the world do you mean by LOFT'
His Answer
'LACK'
'OF'
'F***ING'
'TALENT'
