Better than humiliating yourself like that ^ in public...
I never had that problem *anniet* ......can't you tell by my perfect form when swinging the 58 degree wedge?
Must admit that was about 10 years ago since that palm tree on the left is now 10 feet tall.........and I did most of my golf playing at the golf course since at home I would hit a bucket of balls down on the green and as I walked down to it I would find several projects to do and just picked them up and started working on my goofy 3 acre lawn and all that goes with it.
I was a mad scientist who could play golf and basketball until I was almost 43 and then I discovered why old athletes spend the rest of their lives being repaired at the hospital
And it is much easier sitting on the couch reading about Dark Matter and the Standard Model (good thing we can enlarge the text on these computers so we can read these text baryons and mesons )
@ Dr. Mike.....after reading about your golf desert I emailed you water from my course here in Port Ludlow where the only dry spots are the bunkers in late July
Now I did build my house in a way where a fire is unlikely since Mikey the fireman lives 3000 miles away and he would have to use Fermi Lab to get a firetruck here fast enough

Much appreciated ! I must say it is a novel experience to have water deliberately flowing out of the ADSL modem.

Aahh ! Constructed within a total vacuum then ? My trouble is never really knowing if the virtual particles are actually there, and you ought never take the uncorroborated word of the real estate agent in such a case.
Cheers, Mike.

I am devastated. The Nathalia Golf Club that I referred to as a 'sand-scrape' has, within the space of a mere 30 years, had water added to it :
My commiserations.
Let's hope they didn't suck it out the ground... :/
Puts a right crimp on your day when a few miles away...
you find yourself sitting in the rubble of a sinkhole wondering how much extra time you're going to have to leave yourself to get to work... just so someone else doesn't accumulate sand between their tootsies while they bash a ball with a stick with the singular objective of getting it into a hole a lot smaller than the one you're currently parked in... Having said that, I am very fond of trees! :)

*Examine Magic's picture carefully* erm... *remember you're dealing with no ordinary human* Oh... Yes... I see it now :) Is that what you call a "practise shot"? :) And is that the end of your swing or the um... beginning of it...? :) I'm thinking beginning because you're still holding the club :)
Nice trees! :)
edit: apologies to golfers everywhere and to Magic in particular for my facetiousness :) I am working through a rude streak at the moment :)))) I may be some time... :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Hmmmm. They may have. Water is not known to, say, fall out of the sky around there. There is a river nearby. Well I say 'river' but it's full title is 'The Broken River', perhaps implying some discontinuity I reckon. Otherwise the original settlers may have used "The Completely Continuous Always and Everywhere River", to chance a phrase.
NB That sinkhole has a very ugly water utility worker just sitting around and looking at that pipe*.
Cheers, Mike.

And golf is rules and you can't pick that chunk of grass off the ball before your next shot......now if that happens on the putting green........well you might want to try bowling instead.
I thought Tiger brought out the "movable object" rule one time and had his fans move a huge boulder, why wouldn't that clump of grass be a "moveable object" too?
As for me and my firetruck, it could be awhile getting to you, those things are slow and use a TON of diesel fuel! It's embarrassing when you're driving on the hi-way to a fire and a fricking VW Beetle passes you, but in fact it's pretty normal. They are governed and are made for low end grunt, not top end speed. The fire engines you see are around 10 tons with all their equipment, ie hoses, LOTS of tools and at least 500 gallons of water. While the ladder trucks, depending on what material the ladder is made of, aluminum or steel mostly, they can easily be 15 tons. Add in those ladder trucks with pumps and hoses on them and you are pushing 20 tons rolling down the road.

*furrow brows* Came across it while I was looking for golf tips... :) I know! *roll eyes to limber up for a long-distance look* but what I'm doing wrong on search engines is an entirely different interesting problem for another day :)
This is precisely the sort of situation that calls for the kind of quick thinking that would leave me smacking myself soundly and emphatically in the face with the bat. After yesterday's vacuum cleaning debacle *slow blink* yes Mike... I saw your thinly concealed allusion to that... *elevate nose to lofty level in order to look back down it again* missing the ball is what I won't be doing again in a hurry. Bearing this in mind...

Ah yes... the jump in and dust yourself off kind.. I am familiar with them. Of course, if you jump about in them long enough, every now and again they turn into the sweep you off your feet and straight out to sea kind, allowing you to skip having a bath that night.
