    << <i>Golf shouldn't be used as a verb ("golfing"). >>



    Does that go for bowling, skiing, skateboarding, riding, flying, wrestling, fighting, surfing and the like? >>



    Just golf for sure, though it might also apply to baseballing, footballing, hockeying, politicking and other pastimes.

    State quarter, anything smaller and I can't find it. As far as it distracting my buddies, they can't see either.

    One of two things happens to me on and around the green.
    1) I hole out from off it (ha ha)
    2) It's a gimme ( NOT )

    Eleven or twelve things happen on the way to the green image
    I don't need a ball marker, I need an instructor.
    I don't need a scorecard, I need an abacus.

    Perfect thread for me to post this neat story::

    A few months ago, the QA manager at the Redman Housing plant in Sanford, NC came to me and wanted me to look at a coin he had, to see if it was worth anything. It turned out to be a 1918 British large penny, he said he had been using it to mark his ball on the green while playing golf. I told him, that the value was next to nothing, so that was a good thing to use it for.

    Well about 2 weeks later, the purchasing manager at a Fleetwood Homes plant in Virgina approached me about a coin he found out playing golf and wanted to know what it was worth. So he went to his office and brought it down. (he knows I deal in coins) Low and behold it was a 1918 British large cent. As soon as I saw the coin, I stated "I have seen this coin before". He told me he had found it out on the green during a golf tournement in Myrtle Beach, SC the weekend before. I knew it was the same coin, so I called up the QA manager at Redman and asked him if he still happens to have that 1918 Large penny and he said he had left it on the green while playing golf.

    It turned out to be the coin that he had lost. The myrtle beach golf tournament is a big time event for those in manufactured housing where several different companies get together to compete. What makes this story neat, is that the connection would never have been made had both of the individuals not known that I dealt in coins and that both companies are clients of ours, so I vist them regularly.

    By the way, the finder did not return to ball marker (1918 B lc) to the lostee!!!

    Guy, I use Ping natural finish woods, not the black ones. I almost always just hit the 3 wood as
    I'm most confident with this club. May lose a few yards, but the ball is almost always in the
    middle of the fairway.

    forgot. bi-metalic coin from Mexico, one peso I think
