Golfing in Arizona
Golfing in Arizona
golfstinks.blogspot.com — Golfing in Arizona is the most amazing thing this time of the year. The weather is perfect. No one is passing out from 115-degree temps.

How Dangerous Can Golf Be?

First of all, you're swinging from the wrong side...
golfstinks.blogspot.com — Yeah, like I never heard that before...you unoriginal bastid! All my life I grew up swinging a bat and hockey stick left-handed while actually being right-handed.
