A "driver's license" for golf

Can I just rant here for a second?  I was playing a round of golf on Friday and I was behind a two-some who were playing from the tips (6700 yd tees).  Not a problem, except they didn't belong there!  I was playing the next tees up (6300 yds, so an average of 20 yds shorter / tee) and I always had to wait until after their second shots, and often after their third shots before I could tee off.  It was so bad that a three-some in front of them actually left them behind!  I finally got past them, but come on!

So, I propose a Driver's License for golf.  I'm sure it's been thought of before, but the Driver needs to be able to hit driver at least X yards and hit Y fairways / round before being allowed on the longest tees.  It sure would make playing golf a lot more pleasant, at least for me.  And while I'm at it (the rant, that is) how about a written etiquette test that has to be passed before going out on the Driver test?

Not exactly the governator...

How would you like to have this guy as your next governor (I'm talking about the guy on the right :) )?  I'm not sure which I like better: his beard, or his political party...

Well, this explains all the babbling emails...

But then, what about the other 90% of emails I get that are gobbledygook?

I've got a team in my workplace's "Elite" (whatever that means) Fantasy Football league.  Not only that, but I'm currently 3-1.  Woo-hoo for me!

But that's not my reason for writing.  I just wanted to share some of the funnier (at least to me) FF team names that are out there.  (And you know how much I just love word play)

10. "Burrested Development"

9.   "Armed Schaubbery" (he better be.  he's my starting QB this year.)

8.   "Boldin the Beautiful" (at least he was when he was on my FF team a few years ago...)

7.   "What Would Jones-Drew?" (and your WWJD bracelet still makes sense...)

6.   "Casselblanca"

5.   "Ahman the Inactive List, Again"

4.   "Larry Csonka and the Chocolate Factory"

3.   "Somewhere over Dwayne Bowe"

2.   "Orton Hears a Who"

and my favorite...

1.   "Do us all a Favre and retire"

Okay, a bonus for the "guys" (my wife won't appreciate it...)

"Show us your TDs"

A New Beginning...

Yes, I'm back!  I've been a little busy, but mostly lazy.  Actually, I've been learning to play golf, and going at it full tilt!  Not very good at it, mind you, but I've been enjoying myself.  So be prepared to see a lot more posts here, especially about golf.  However, that doesn't mean there will no longer be the wit and wisdom you've all (all 3 of you--okay, I might be a little optimistic) have come to know and love.  Stay tuned.
