To put or putt? That is the question

It's a hobby that can drive one to drink.

THE schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. “Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?” she asked the instructor.

“P-u-t-t is correct,” he replied. “Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing.”

* Do you know why there are 18 holes on a golf course?

Because that’s how long it took the Scots who invented the game to finish their bottle of whiskey!

* Two long-time golfers were standing overlooking a river.

One golfer looked to the other and said: “Look at those idiots fishing in the rain.”

* What are the worst words you could hear during a game of golf?

“It’s still your turn!”
