Close, but no cigar. It was the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, not Groucho.

If the only way to hit two good balls by stepping on a rake then golf is not your sport.

when to the driving range hitting off the carpet down on rolling acres road. I too noticed lots of bad ball that I didn't have 14 years ago. Then the guy next to me said, hey your raising your head before you hit.
Suddenly I ran out of bad balls and got to the good ones.

I stand corrected, like I said, it was a story told to me. Know I know the real perpetrators.

Another unfortunate for the stupid is to cover what the ball washers are for before EMT's may be involved. Hey. You never know, it could happen!

It's a 55+ community. You are bound to find a few bad balls if you look hard enough!
