Here is a golf ethics question for you.


What if you were playing in the club championship tournament finals and
the match was halved at the end of 17 holes. You had the honor and hit
your ball a modest two hundred fifty yards to the middle of the fairway,
leaving a simple six iron to the pin. Your opponent then hits his ball,
lofting it deep into the woods to the right of the fairway. Being the
golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look for his
ball. Just before the permitted five minute search period ends, your
opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I don't find it
in time, I'll concede the match."
You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about ten feet from
the pin. About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your opponent
exclaim from deep in the woods: "I found it!". The second sound you hear
is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the ball comes
sailing out of the woods and lands on the green, stopping no more than
six inches from the hole.
Now here is the ethical dilemma:
Do you pull the cheating bastard’s ball out of your pocket and confront
him with it or do you keep your mouth shut.

How could the ball be in your pocket, when you just said it was 6 inches from the hole??Now,now,now be honest, and have a HAPPY EASTER.

So now you have TWO of his golf balls in your pocket, eh?

Another good reason why I've never played golf.

Ah - Golf.

A waste of perfectly good farmland ......

The guy found the other guy's ball in the woods and put it in his pocket. The other guy just threw down another ball and hit it to the green. Now the first golfer is faced with a delima as he cheated and so did the second quy, and it is a joke. Lighten up = ha!

Tell me the difference between---THE GUY and THE OTHER GUY---

I would tell the ball-loser that I had to go into rough to take a leak.....would "find" his ball in rough as I emerged from whizzing, and tell him he must be mistaken, since i have just found his ball.

Winston Churchell concidered golf "a good walk spoiled".

You're all assuming they'll make their putts.

Muzza et al

Remember if they were not on the golf course, they may be interested in a sport and could be in the way wherever you are hunting or fishing.

It keeps out of the fields and woods or on the waters of lake or stream

Golf is for people that can't Hunt and Fish.
