The Dustbin Lid Man - We need you like golf balls John Daly

04 Feb 2010 - 08:34:17

I'm quitting this week. No I'm not; I didn't mean that, it's just been a long day.

No my position is simply untenable. Or is it - I don't know anymore. I'll just write some more and see how we go.

John Daly would be missed.

I saw Jessica Alba play some miniature golf with Anthony Kim and Jay Leno the other day, or was that a weird dream inspired by my blog from a couple of weeks ago?

It ended with a hole in one, did you see it too? That must have been a dream. Alba found the word 'stroke' to be rather amusing in a double-entendre type way.

I must admit I'm always giggling when Peter Alliss and Sam Torrance talk about stroking balls into cups.

I'm looking forward to playing myself this weekend. It should be a feisty competition and to make sure I have the edge over the opposition I'm going to play with some Eye2 wedges.

Guaranteed match winners aren't they?

The owner of Oscar the black Labrador got a shock (sort of) when he took his beloved pet to the vet.

An exploratory operation uncovered thirteen golf balls in the dog's stomach. Yes that's right thirteen. Owner Chris Morrison became concerned after the dog started rattling.

Well yes, that would do it for me. Apparently the walking canine maraca had eaten the balls on his daily walk round the local golf course.

Come to think of it, he would make the perfect pet for the gentleman I mentioned last week who has found over seventy thousand balls.

They would be a golfing Turner and Hooch for the 'tennies' or whatever we're calling this decade.

If I had thirteen golf balls rolling around inside me, the feeling might be unpleasant, but at least I'd never run out of balls. Now where's that ball cleaner?
