Mower guy things — Six Word Saturday — with a golf riddle
Here comes trouble — on six wheels
First a riddle: Why did the golfer bring two pairs of pants to a golf tournament? (answer below)
I saw this first, pictured on the right, in the morning. Turns out the mower guy made these ruts the day before when he mowed. It looks like he got stuck, or at least his forward progress was stuck in the mud.The white little post is the Out of Bounds marker for the golf balls. If the ball is on our side of that, i.e. in our back yard, the golfer has to carry his ball back to the tee box (one stroke) and hit it again (another stroke) which ends up costing a two stroke penalty.
.
A nice thing about living on a golf course is that it makes our back yard seem very large. And pretty too when the grass is nice and green.
Today the mower guy sneaked in from the left and gingerly attempted to mow through without getting mired down and making more ruts.That didn't work so he backed up a little and went around behind it, up on the berm.
This is the par five eleventh fairway (on the eleventh hole) of the Weiskopf course. Tom Weiskopf, like many other golfing pros dabbled in golf course design. He designed this course. I was standing in our yard taking the pictures. We are on the outer side of the dog leg.
In our ten years living here we have had three broken windows due to golf balls flying towards and hitting the house. It takes a pretty bad golfer to hit our house.
