Golf - Weather Permitting

MacDermott and MacDuff sat in the clubhouse on a raw, blustery day, thawing their beards in front of the fireplace while freezing rain beat against the windows.
The pair were silent for a long time over their whiskeys.
Finally, MacDermott spoke: “That was quite a round of golf.”
“Aye,” MacDuff replied. “Same time next Sunday?”
“Aye,” said MacDuff, “weather permitting.”

In Golf, Priest Gets Last Word, Twice

A couple of golf jokes involving a priest. Maybe you’ve heard them. Maybe you haven’t:
Joe and his priest near the end of their match-play golf contest with Joe up 6 holes with only 7 to play.
The priest can only sigh as he fills in the scorecard from the last hole and moves on to the [...]

Golf or Church - A Coin Decides

A golfer asked his friend, “Why are you so late in arriving for your tee time?”
“It’s Sunday,” replied his friend. “I had to toss a coin between going to church or playing golf.”
“Yes,” said the golfer. “That still doesn’t tell me why you’re so late.”
“Well,” said the friend. ”It took over 25 tosses to get it right!”

Lady Luck was seldom kind to Sam. Although he had a real zest for life he was constantly beset by bad luck.
Sam loved poker but poker did not love him; he played the stock market with great anticipation but always seemed to be the one who bought high and sold low. His life seemed to [...]

A Lesson in Friendly Golf

You can learn a lot about life from golf. One is, don’t take everything, especially the game, too seriously.
Two friends - Joe and Moe - were playing golf one Saturday morning when they decided to pretend as if they were on the professional tour. That meant adhering strictly to all of the rules of golf, including not improving the [...]

Zach, You Make Us Proud

Like a lot of Cedar Rapidians, my eyes are glued to the TV for The Masters golf tournament where native son Zach Johnson is the defending champion. He did us all proud last year when he said “I’m just a normal guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.”
Whether Zach wins or not, he’ll get some air time on [...]

Priest goes golfing Sunday morning

If fellow Gazette columnist and blogger Todd Dorman likes golf jokes, here’s one for him.
As a young man, Frank was an exceptional golfer. Before he turned 25, however, he decided to become a priest. He took the usual vows of poverty, chastity, and even promised never to play golf on Sunday.
One Sunday morning, Father Frank awoke to a wonderful, sunny [...]

Golf Courses to Open - Yipeee!

After a long cold and snowy winter, word has come that Cedar Rapids will open its city golf courses by Monday. That has to mean other courses in Eastern Iowa are either already open or will soon let us duffers line up at the No. 1 tee box.
If you’re like me, you can’t wait. But first, [...]
