The Open Golf Championship


Claire

Recommended Posts

This competition starts this week in Hoylake which is very near where I live (and Mark too!). Im really excited about it its madness here at the moment the place is full of fat americans and television cameras. The Conservative Office where I do a lot of work is actually on the golf course land so I think Im going to spend the week there so I can see all the famous people. Tiger Woods has actually booked the whole of the hotel which is in the woods behind my house and the Sky coverage is coming from my own school.

 

However not everyone round here is looking forward to it. People are complaining about the fact that there will be no public transport for two weeks and the amount of council money being spent on suppose improvements to the town.

 

Anyway heres a picture of the course looks very pretty i suppose not that I know anything about golf!!

Anyone play? I was very proud of my 11 handicap & was seriously looking @ single figures for a while.

 

Then My self, My Motor cycle & some bitumen had an incident.

 

As I bounced down the road on my head I also ruined me shoulder as well.

 

No more golf.

Er...quite like it meself. Used to play a fair amount but not recently...don't mind watching a bit on the TV but I'll certainly not be sat in front of it for four days. If a Brit looks like winning I'll watch the end but if it's another Tiger fest forget it.

Australia's Ben Bunny is in the last group out. Rumour has it that American veteran Fred Funk shook his hand and said "thank you" on the practice green. When Bunny asked "thank you for what?", Funk replied: "Because I've no longer got the most ridiculous name in golf."

 

:lol::lol: ..my wife has a stuffed rabbit called "Benjamin Bunny", gives a new meaning to the crowd shouting, "Get in the hole!!" :lol:

Bollocks. Sadly it's just another "well known fact" that is really a modern myth.

 

There is no universally accepted derivation for the word 'golf.' One of the most common misconceptions is that the word GOLF is an acronym for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden. This at least is definitely not true.

 

The first documented mention of the word 'golf' is in Edinburgh on 6th March 1457, when King James II banned ‘ye golf’, in an attempt to encourage archery practice, which was being neglected.

 

Before the creation of dictionaries, there was no standardised spelling of any given word. People wrote words phonetically. Goff, gowf, golf, goif, gof, gowfe, gouff and golve have all been found in documents in Scotland.

 

It seems most likely that the terms golf, chole and kolf, which were the names for a variety of medieval stick and ball games in Britain and in continental Europe, are all derived from a common word of a pre-modern European language, following Grimm's grammatical law, which details the clear phonetic similarities of these words.

 

Golf (and chole and kolf) are all presumed to have originally meant 'club'. Golf has also been associated with the German word for club 'kolbe', (Der Kolben). It is also probably related to the Dutch word and game 'kolven'.

I'm bald, wrinkled and happy in my sexuality. With the woman of my dreams beside me, things are good. I don't go out much and I am a little behind with...........everything.

 

A good night for us is sitting in around the dining table putting the world to rights. I am so behind things I think Neru suits are cool. :lol:

You just needed to drag me back in with that comment!!

 

IMO any lad who spends more time on his hair than he does brushing his teeth is a spice boy and if they spend more than £10 on a haircut and ask for a few highlights its over.

 

Mite as well start dressing in girls cloths and wearing makeup  :unsure:

If it is possible you have gone up even more in my estimation Fishman. If I do go out (rarely) it takes me 15 mins to shower, shave and dress.

I can turn it around in about 10mins if my cloths are iorned.

 

Thats one thing i do take my time over but only if i'm on a night out or date or sumat, the rest of the time its crumpled t-shirts and vaugly matching socks!!

 

Claire i think you will find most lads with spikey hair get it styled at a stylists and will spend forever "sculpting" it in the morning <_<

I tend to razor mine every three days or so. Gillette Mach 3 for preference, and I use T's hair conditioner as a lubricant when I shave my head.

 

I will admit to rubbing coconut butter on my head when it's done though, I like the smell. :rolleyes:
