6:24 Days of Murphys Laws - Group Dynamics

Law 6:24  Days of Murphys Laws:  A golfer that hits into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group.  Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a middle linebacker, Hulk Hogan, Hannibal Lector and an IRS agent... or some similar combination. 


Of course, as a woman, I don't punch, hit, spit, but sometimes I may curse.  So how big my opposing groups are does not matter to me in the least.  Just watch out for the FORE!!!!!

4:24 Days of Murphy's Laws of Golf

4:24  The fourth day of 24 Days of Murphy's Laws:  Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play.  If one does, the  tree is breaking a law of the universe and should become firewood.  

I can say that this law has definitely affected me on several occasions.  The golf ball would hit the limbs of the tree and drop in some obscure location that is simply unhittable (is that a word?) or would hit the tree trunk and ricoche outside the fairway and into the deep rough.  Once the golf ball hit the tree trunk and went for a plunge into the ravine about 10 yards away.  As much as I love trees, they are just not meant to accompany fairways on a golf course.  FORE!

3:24 Days of Murphys Laws of Golf

3:24 Murphys Laws regarding brand new golf balls: somehow new golf balls are water-magnetic.  Though this cannot be proven in a lab, it seems to be a temporary phenomenon.  It is a known fact that the more expensive the ball, the greater 'attraction to water'  magnetic value it contains. Also Expensive clubs have been known to possess a sudden death syndrome in most unusual circumstances.   

Note to self: Take a couple extra older balls when driving over water and laugh in face of Murphy Laws ... Out Loud!!!  FORE!

2:24 Days of Murphys Laws of Golf: Rounds of Golf

The second day of Murphys Laws of Golf involves being humbled by the game itself.

2:24: Your absolute best round of golf will likely be followed almost immediately by your worse possible round of golf ever.  The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former, especially if they came to watch you play or you have decided to play for money. $$$

Speaking of money... my hubby played in a small 9 hole tournament last week at our local course.  He was excited to  have played since we have not the opportunity for a while with the bad weather we have had conflicting with our free time.  I do not feel good enough to participate in a tournament yet, so I told him to go ahead without me this time.  As the team played best hole, he was excited that on the final hole he was inches from the flag on a 140 foot drive and was the selected shot to end with a birdie and his team won the mini-tournament.  He went into claim the prize he won for the last shot.   It was a great shade umbrella worth a good $50 and left out of there with a fist full of money, his share for winning the tournament.  Needless to say, the smile remained embedded for a couple days.   I guess Murphy will be around the next time around to make him humble once more.  It is the good days that keep us coming back for more punishment, that is for sure.  FORE!!!

1:24 Days of Murphys Laws of Golf, thought you ought to know..maybe you 've experienced a few

1:24 Law :  No matter how bad your last shot was, you should have inner Peace knowing that a Murphy Shot is yet to come.  The Murphy shot law does not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to extend over the course of a tournament, a summer, and eventually a lifetime.  Dang that Omnipotent Murphy.

If you have experienced the spirit of Murphy's law on the course, feel honored, you are among many.  Hold your 7 iron high in the air and hummmmmm, that seems to settle the spirit down a bit.  You can always try anything, nothing ventured nothing gained.

How far have you gotten on your putting regimen?  Just asking.
