Nasty bug going around right now...
A killer cold? Even the healthy may be vulnerable
I just got over a "cold" but it wasn't this freakin bad. Global warming man. 
Maybe Mother Earth is fighting back.

Within hours, Spencer's fever was 104 degrees. Within days, he was in the intensive care unit at Providence Portland Medical Center in Oregon with full-blown pneumonia. Spencer's doctor was afraid this sturdy teenage boy was going to die.
Doctors say Joseph Spencer could have died from adenovirus, a virus that usually just causes a cold.

All I know is that the freaking golf course has developed a mind of it's own and it's out to get me. Also, undoubtedly, a result of global warming.
In fact, it has developed its own gravity fields. Numerous such intense areas of gravity located throughout the course. Interestingly enough they are all located OFF the fairways, usually in wooded areas and lakes. These gravity fields divert a perfectly hit ball, that was headed toward the center of the fairway, into the woods or lakes and it's freaking killing me! (More so than any bug that causes colds and such.)
Yes, Jamz, there is something amiss.
In the meantime, I'm going back out there in about 20 mins and subject myself to intense gravity fields that are ruining my return to golf (it's either that or the equipment . . . couldn't possibly be me). I am returning so soon because global warming is messing up my chances of playing. It's supposed to be 60 today, 65 tomorrow, and then snow on Saturday.
I'm gonna try and break 1000 today. The pro at the club called and asked me not to play today . . . that they were still trying to repair the course of all the divots I made. Wussies! I'm going!!!!!! (Unfortunately I have yet to acquire the plaid pants and lime green shirt with the white belt and tassel/floppy thing that covers the laces type golf shoes (God I miss those).
Stay well Jamz. Fight the good fight. Keep driving large gas guzzling vehicles and contribute to global warming and . . . what was this thread about? I forgot.

These "gravity fields" you speak of are called a slice or draw Kob-ster.Common man, you know what those are. You're a great golfer, you just gotta rehab that shoulder a little more.

Nope. Gravity fields or equipment failure.
(Or maybe it's the cheap ***** I got a WalMart. There's no way I'm hitting V1x yet. Yeah, Maybe that's it, it's these POS Nike 4 dollars a dozen *****!!!!)

Kobi, I'm with you man. Those gravitational pulls are EVERYWHERE! Seriously! When I play softball they're always behind home plate and suck the ball behind me even when I hit a perfect homer. When I'm bowling that gravitational pull is in the gutter. Golfing, it's in the woods or in the sand.... IT'S EVERYWHERE! We're all doomed!

Can I send this excuse to my husband??? I am pretty sure he has not thought of that one yet.
