From Scott Ostler's Answer Man column:
"Q: A golfer from New Hampshire is golfing his way across the treeless steppes of Mongolia, using only a three-iron. His course is 1,319 miles long and he has designated stretches of the journey as “holes.” Through the first 14 holes he has lost 441 balls. What does it all mean?
A: It means my 18-hole world record is safe.
The man is 11,880 over par, and if I was golfing like that, I’d be looking for the drink llama.
It’s weird, the guy has one club, he’s hitting balls across empty expanses, yet he’s using a caddy. That’s like a homeless guy having a butler."
I guess the bottom line will be how well he does in the split club drawing....
