    It's sure to be a hit with all the golf-playing feebs in Flarida. Can't wait to see the octogenarians piled up like grey pretzels by the first tee.

    I suspect the air quality management folks are gonna be on this like a cheap suit! ;-)

    Maybe a GPS directed golf ball mortar that fits in your golf bag!? Powered by compressed gas... possibly operate from your O2 cylinder.

So I can't miss that momets, I thought it was time it went out again. But every thing is finished now because now I am full time busy in my father's site busniss.

    I had heard there were some ideas that were so stupid as to defy description, but I wasn't really sure what that meant until now.

    Hilarious. I would never imagine anyone would come up with something that might make golf interesting.
