Golf: Helping the Needy
JOKE time! And this is a hint for the younger golfers who should be prioritizing earning-a-living first before spending a lot of time at the golf course like the oldies. No offense! It’s a joke! Hehehe.
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the...

Bubba Wins the 2012 Masters
WHEN Bubba made his winning putt then cried, oh my, I cried too. I was very happy for him. He finally won a major tournament.
I wanted to cry for Tiger Woods too, but not with tears of joy. It was so frustrating to watch him play — too frustrating na gusto kong umiyak! After two days...

65th PAL Interclub Golf Tournament Results
MY GOLF joke: I checked the scores of our local players that did not count—14 points! 15 points! What happened? Lasheng? Hangover? Walang tulog? Too much videoke? Pinagalitan ng asawa? Hahaha! Oh well. The PAL Interclub is not just about winning—it is also about having fun.

Golf update on PAL Interclub, Ikeda
GREETINGS Davaoenos! I need your help. I received a letter from a golf fan. It is a 'Dear Abby' type of letter and he is asking for advice. It is a sensitive letter. I am not a guy and I am not married, so, I cannot relate to his problem. But maybe you people can. So I will share it with...
Golf Updates for the week
A MARRIED couple drove to Mati, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and it was about each other’s close relatives.

28 Players join 2012 Hyundai TOC

Juvic Pagunsan: Asian Tour Order of Merit champion
CHARMAINE Chua and her father decided to play golf on New Year's day. She teed off first and watched in horror as the ball headed directly towards a foursome of men. Indeed, the ball hit one of the men and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground and rolled...
Garcia: Golf and Typhoon Sendong
SO many of our fellowmen perished during the wrath of Typhoon Sendong. Who is to blame? What should have been done to prevent the disaster? People pointing fingers. People washing hands. People commenting on PNoy’s actions. Sigh. It is a good thing that I only write golf articles. I leave the...

GOLF QUOTE: The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing. Fyi, if I swing at a ball and I miss, I would rather that my flight mates laugh at me than stay quiet and pretend they did not see. How very awkward!

Here is an update...
Golf this week
LAST week, I met up with a friend and we decided to play golf in the afternoon. Before heading to the golf course, we decided to have breakfast first. We went to a place that served pancakes. I wanted iced tea. I asked the waiter if they had iced tea and he said yes, bottomless iced tea for 60...
