Best parts of golf that make this infuriating game bearable…

1. Hitting your ball into a water hazard, lake, or pond and then having it skip across the water and back into the fairway.

2. When a golf ball careening off a tree and BACK INTO the fairway instead of out of bounds.

3. Chipping into the green from the rough and ricocheting off another player’s ball next to the hole and bouncing in for a birdie/par.

4. Hitting a long drive off the tee further than your playing partners with newer, more expensive, and higher technology drivers than you.

5. Losing a ball in the rough or onto the next course and then finding it again when you come back around to that hole.

6. Seeing one of your playing partners badly hit balls flying at mach speed at your body and being able to duck/dive/bend out of the way like Plastic Man.

7. Getting out of a bad lie in the sand in one shot and getting good distance as well.

8. Finally losing your slice off a drive due to: A. New “Draw” or offset driver or B. Improved swing.

9. Getting a birdie.

10. Beating your friends in a game and showing off about it.
