The Pro's Advice
A local pro was persuaded into playing a round with three very indifferent club golfers. As the round wore on he got sick of them keep asking his advice and then either ignoring it or being unable to take or apply it. At the 16th, after the pro drove right down the middle, the first member stepped up, went through his normal routine and skied it about 50 yards onto the ladies tee.
He turned to the pro and asked, "What did I do wrong?"
"LOFT!" said the pro. "Too much LOFT"

The second guy went through his practice swing, set up hit a screaming boomerang slice into the drink. Again , he turned to the pro and asked, "What happened there ?"
"LOFT!" said the pro."Too much LOFT"

Finally, the third guy takes his turn and hits a duck hook straight into the bushes about thirty yards away. "What was wrong with that ?" he asked.
"Same thing - LOFT!" said the pro."Too much LOFT"

As they proceeded down the fairway, one of the members turned to the pro and said, "I can understand the first two being caused by 'LOFT!', but the duck hook?
What exactly do you mean by LOFT ?

"Lack Of Friggin' Talent!"

"Too Much Loft !" - is now our
standard excuse for poor golf.
