I am writing Chapter 16 first. I really like my retreiver. I got a birdie with it once. We were playing a par four that had to go over the water. My ball got over the water but was stuck on a ledge that was supposed to be a waterfall.
The ball was reachable with my retreiver. With one motion I picked up the ball and three it like a javelin towards the green. You could see I was upset about all that.
My trusty retreiver landed twenty feet from the green on its 'shaft end.' The ball released, flew to green, and went in the hole. My brother-in-law, Jim, earlier had called it a club so nobody argued when I claimed the birdie score.
* Ideas cannot be copyrighted. But written material can. That's why I can claim the above. I think that goes for everything on this blog that I haven't given credit to others. But I should have a disclaimer in my profile like I've seen on some.

Jim, I know absolutely Nothing about golf except you hit a ball and try to knock it into a hole.
You sound like a pro at it!!

I think you didn‘t remember right: your son & son-in-law didn‘t think you could count that stroke as they said that wasn‘t a club...your sister says it is, though.
Don‘t think it made any difference in the outcome of the game, however!
How about a chapter on running over your sister?
Or maybe just a chapter on how to cross a bridge without running over
somebody!

Those tire tracks did wash right our of her shirt back so it wasn't too big of a issue.
I'll write this--not sure what chapter, surely not a new one--and tell the WHOLE story.

I think I've already written all of those chapters.
Remember, never pick up someone else's lost ball until it quits rolling.

That is funny! Billy thought that he said it did count as a birdie using your retriever. Tomorrow,I get to have my steak or sushi dinner off of his win today!

I'm rolling on the floor! Best laugh I've had all week. Think I woke the kids up. Aunt Lois's request for another chapter is a well deserved one.

Hi Ray -- That wouldn't be very good! But I have fun.
The answer is no, you need lessons from a pro or one of your brothers.
Did you look at our friend's car and dog on the Photo Place today?
BTW, Googling my name is the hard way to the blogs. You should have them in your favorites.
