Craig said it, and Marty memorialized the sentiment in a GolfToon. That's how we roll in our Saturday morning golf league, the PDGA. Read on.
One of the most maddening things in golf is coming up short on a putt. Especially when your ball is tracking on a perfect line toward the hole. Your timidity denies you the ecstasy of holing the putt.
“Coming up short” is a 24-hour bug that lasts about one full round of golf. And is cured by consuming mass quantities of adult beverages post-golf, followed by fitful sleep deprivation. In addition, a full-on black-out is an ideal remedy as it decays your memory and allows you to reset mentally for the next round.
As usual, the golf game affords us life lessons, like taking stock of how blessed we are just to be playing the game.
I learned that particular lesson well when playing with my friend Craig, an elementary public school teacher. He stands taller than he appears despite minor vertical challenges. He became weary of my ongoing complaints about coming up short all day and delivered the gem that inspired this GolfToon.
Leave it to a teacher to soothe the whining child with thoughtful and comparative insight.
