Getting Out Of Jail
By Monopoly Chip
Rain, rain go away. These constant showers have forced golfers throughout the state to come up with new and previously unheard excuses to get out of the house. As is our customs in matters such as these, we at Poplar Creek Golf Club are the leaders in misleading spouses. President Mike Love confirmed these allegations and added that some members find this exercise much more fulfilling than golf.
On a particularly horrible Saturday afternoon with rain deluging in biblical proportions, I was able to poll more than forty members sitting around the grill discussing their craft. Our members were more than happy to help those in need in this noble pursuit. The ever-candid Bill Feeley loads shovels into his truck and says he is going to the course to load sandbags to save the bunkers. After receiving a prearranged phone call from me, my attorney Blue Moon Retainer, hangs up, mumbles obscure Latin phrases and declares he is needed immediately at the golf course.
Artie White, known for his birdies, worries about the course's water fowl and feels compelled to check on them. Randy G has been known to check the born on dates of the Corona bottles to make sure they are fresh. And so it goes.
"The creativity of this bunch is incredible, my only concern, said tournament director Mike Bradley, will they be able to play when the rains stop?” Until then, enjoy the grill and the large number of members who somehow got out of jail.
