Little known malady -- Golf Throat
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 10:00 pm
A guy shows up at work Monday morning with his throat heavily bandaged. He is so hoarse he can barely talk. With such an odd injury, he really attracted attention, and one of his coworkers asked him how he'd managed to do it.
"Well", he croaked, "I went out yesterday to play nine holes."
"It was at the fourth tee that I caught up to a foursome of older ladies who were teeing off. The last lady teed off and she shanked it, but good. Way off to the right of the fairway. I went ahead and made my shot, then passed the group as they were walking down the fairway."
"There was a little rise off to the right of the fairway and as I topped it, I saw a cow. A cow! Standing in the rough just off the fairway. And there, stuck in the most inopportune place, was a golf ball! So, being the gentleman I am, I waited by the cow for the foursome to approach."
"When they came over, I lifted the tail of the cow, pointed to the ball, and said - Hey lady, does this look like yours?"
"And she hit me in the throat with a nine iron...."
