0 Guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Very good joke. For you guys who don't understand this joke: Arthur's bro'-in-law who is 103 yrs old may have perfect eyesight but because of his old age, he doesn't have a good memory.

0 Guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 The same guys went to a pro for extra lessons who asked them to give a few demo swings for him to assess. After carefully watching the first, the pro says .. "Your main problem is you stand too close to the ball before you hit it", and the old guy thanks him and practises some more with immediate results. The pro then watches the second old boy who is swinging madly and enthusiastically. The pro begs the old boy to stop and take up something else. The old boy asks "but what am I doing wrong?" The pro tells him "You are sanding too close to the ball after you hit it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went straight up in the air and actually landed and stopped about 3 feet behind me! Let me guess - 1st hole And that reminds me of a friend who spent top dollar on a one piece graphite super driver ('okey-kokay 9000' all singing, dancing and driving super driver )- I cant remember what happened to the ball - the driver learnt to fly and finnished on the cub hase roof coz he wasnt gripping well (he now uses my litle finger/thoumb interlock). He played on though and recovered the driver after the round...he is always nervous at the first tee and was playing at a club he wanted to join Needs a new topic 'sporting moments' - yor honor i think!

0 Guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Alzeihmer's is a awful thing, more should be done about it. I was at an Alzeihmer's Rally last weekend. We were all chanting: What do we want?........... We don't know! When do we want it?........ What?

Question
Brandonb
Arthur is 90 years old. He's played golf every day
since his retirement 25 years ago.
One day he arrives home looking downcast. 'That's it,' he tells his wife.
'I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has gotten so bad that once I've hit the
ball, I can't see where it went.'
His wife sympathizes and makes
him a cup of tea. As they sit down,
she says, 'Why don't you take my brother with you and give it one
more try.'
'That's no good,' sighs Arthur. 'Your brother's one hundred
three. He can't help.'
'He may be one hundred three,' says the wife, 'but his
eyesight is perfect.'
So the next day, Arthur heads off to the golf course with his brother-in-law. He tees up, takes an almighty
swing, and squints down the fairway. He turns to the brother-in-law.
'Did you see the ball?'
'Of course I did!' replies the brother-in-law. 'I have perfect eyesight.'
'Where did it go?' asks Arthur.
