Keep Your Eye on the Ball
Golf Print of a Bygone Tournament
Second golf print in a series
As mentioned elsewhere, I’m a terrible golfer. My swing looks like I’m trying to chop down a tree.
Putting is my … er, ‘gift’.
I’ve infuriated scores of people with my ‘mid-stride, one-handed polo swing, whilst eating a sandwich, spraying crumbs all over the place, talking with my mouth full, Miracle Putt’ from 35 yards short of the green. With a driver…for par.
People hate that. They think I’m hustling them.
But I think the Taoists have it right (or do I mean Buddhists?); it’s complete detachment from outcome, born of a complete lack of ability. I don’t care, because I have no ambition to be any good at this dashed game, and more often than not, I’m there under duress anyways.
Come to think of it, maybe golf is like dating: the harder you try, the worse you do.
In Olden Times (in the pre-Colonel epoch) whenever I’d hose myself off and shave and coif and hit the favored nightspots, I must’ve been trying too hard, because I’d invariably end up doing the wallflower routine. But on other occasions where I’d find myself participating in revels, unshaven, unbathed, and with ‘hat-head’ (and I don’t blame your skepticism) the odd gal would actually flip her hair and sip coquettishly!
Of course, I would spoil everything by putting a foot in my mouth, or she’d flee at the sight of my finger-pointing Travolta-dancing, but the point is that if I cared/tried at golf, I’m sure my putting would stink as much as the rest of my game…”

"Being in the oil industry I am always trying to find a cost effective give away that will be appreciated and utilized. I have a ton of bad fitting golf shirts and way too many cups and glasses for my cupboards and I know my customers are in the same position. To date we have purchased 24 oilfield pictures for promotional gifts and I know this was a successful purchase when I go into a customer’s office and see your pictures proudly displayed!!
Thank you for making these promotional items affordable and effective for the smaller business."

Louis –
nice drawing and writing
The Pencilneck –
Thank you!!
Anthony –
Wow, how did you know what things looked like back then? Did you have to hire people in costumes?
The Pencilneck –
For scenes like this, it typically means I keep a sort of file on things that I can look up when I need them. Online is much easier than the dozens of file boxes I used to have!
