AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

As many know, or not, our friend Slatten contributed, last Wednesday, a very nice forum. He was immediately assigned Wednesday duty to contribute for us. Lacking responsibility, he has gone off flitting about with his brothers and a nephew to celebrate his advancing age, birthday on the 15th. He sent me his Wednesday assignment to post for him, knowing that I am a, responsible and reliable person, among my other attributes. :lol: :lol:

Enjoy.

Why I Mow My Own Lawn - Lee Trevino: a true story, you gotta love him.

One day, shortly after joining the PGA tour in 1965, Lee Trevino, a professional golfer and married man, was at his home in Dallas, Texas, mowing his front lawn, as he always did.

A lady driving by in a big, shiny Cadillac stopped in front of his house, lowered the window and asked, Excuse me, do you speak English?"

Lee responded, Yes Ma'am, I do."

The lady then asked, What do you charge to do yard work?

Lee said, "Well, the lady in this house lets me sleep with her."

The lady hurriedly put the car into gear and sped off.

I am a golf nut and I watch the Feherty show. Well he interviewed Lee Travino and he told that story about himself. He is a real down to earth person as are a lot of the pro's in golf. He also pulled out a rubber snake and threw it at Jack Nicklaus one time as well.

Feherty and Trevino together would be worth the price of admission anytime, anyplace. One of my favorite's of Mr. Trevino's was his saying (paraphrase), "I was hitting the woods really well today. It was getting out of the woods that caused me problems!"

Many weekly golfers can identify with that comment. :lol:

I definitely can that is for sure. The longer I hit the ball the further off course I go. I would do better wit ha putter from tee to green than using all of those other confusing clubs. They keep telling me that a chain saw is an illegal club but it seem like it should be legal.

I know many who swear by their 'foot wedge', :lol: It can come in pretty handy, at times. :thumbup: :mrgreen:

Jack Nicklaus once stated, "The only way I could drive a fairway that tight is with a 30.06 rifle." (paraphrase) All fairways seemed tight to me off the tee. :oops: :wink:

Only if they have sand traps, and trees, or water going all along one side.

Mark Twain said "Golf is a good walk...gone bad."

Many share that sentiment, but most golfers enjoy the 'walk' and the challenge of the game. :wink:
