Sid - The Golf Guru

[Imurg]

All good but not right.
Electrical pylons cross this par 5 and if you hit the lines you have to play again with no penalty. I hit them twice. Third time I made it through and continued to par the hole....

Hi my name is Sid and I'm a golf rules genius. I challenge all you golf fanatics to quiz me on your toughest decisions. I know I'll have the answers...

Ok. How come I managed to hit the ball 7 times but still parred a par 5?

Easy... You were playing matchplay and twice played out of turn and were asked to replay the shots.

Or your are playing match Play and you tee'd of from the wrong tee twice and you were asked to tee off again.

You bought two Mulligans from your opponant?

Aw c'mon....

How the hell we supposed to know your local rules? Even the mythical Sid wouldn't have got that one.

Ps; wasn't he trying to sell us shares in the Gas Board a few years ago?

 

[Sid]

Nice questions guys, keep them coming! You haven't hit me with a toughie yet!

 

[Sid]

Nice to see that's got you all fired up! Now try asking me some 'real' rules questions.

 

[CarpeDiem]

I think that taking the piss was more of the objective not getting 'fired up'. But I might be wrong?

He's made an appearance on Golf Magic now

I looked him up on Wikipedia....that well know source of accuracy.....

"Roger Dave de Vauxhall Viva (c. 1970, England) known as El Sid Callaway, was a Golfing nobleman, a military leader and diplomat who, after being exiled, conquered and governed the city of Weston-super-Mare. Sid was educated in the royal court of Basildon and became the Golf genius, or chief general Golf ruler, of Alfonso FT-5 draw, and his most valuable asset in the fight against the hackers of the day

The name "El Sid" comes from the Spanish article El, and the dialectal Arab word sîdi or sayyid, which means "Lord". The title Golf Guru comes from campidoctor, a medieval Scottish word roughly meaning "master of arts of the R&A book", so Sid Callaway translates as "The lord, master of Golf rule arts". He is considered the national hero of Lichtenstein."

I feel reassured......not to mention half cut......

Sid came back, answered nothing, then fled his kingdom.
Its a bit like saying you know the answer to the question 'Why are we here?' but never telling anyone????

or unable to under the weight of the well known affliction of these nobles, involving a bovine creature and faeces!

Come on sid. We have mocked you and yet you can't defend yoursefl. Me thinks you spout nothing but hot air. If you really can talk the talk and walk the walk prove yourself - if not, how can I put this eloquently - sod it I can't - DO ONE

Oh, how I laughed.....

Alas, poor Sid! I knew him, Homer: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times (helped me out in the scratch matchplay); and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is!

 

[surefire]

Its almost as good as the old classic "Me and my mate can answer any question you have. Come on ask away!"

When asked a question you reply, "Oh my mate knows that one!" Obviously the statement is made only when alone.

I say almost as good, because at least this method uses some imagination, and is slightly amusing.
