I got the following email from a friend, who referred to it as "The fuuniest golf line he had ever heard:
Mickelson was asked if that was the first 9 he had ever made on the 13th hole at Torrey Pines.
“No,” he said. “I’ve had a 9 on the 13th before. I was 8 years old.”
************************
Ummm - I didn't get it. Dumb I guess. Anyway, here is my responce in part:
"I gather that it took this lad 9 swings at a silly little white ball with curiously misshapen, over-priced sticks to put the ball in some hole in the ground numbered 13 about 100 m away from where he started. And that he was being mocked by someone because of it. Well, IMHO, he was fucking lucky that he managed to hit the ball in the first place. And the fact that it only took him 9 swings to get the ball into the hole is a friggin miracle! If I tried to play the stupidest game ever invented by mankind (until some idiot came up with Video Games, that is), the stick would be even more misshapen after I wound it around a tree after taking about 200 swings at the ball while it sat unmolested on the tee!"
