Went out to my "practice course" today and got paired up with two older gentlemen. Don and Gordon had been playing together for 25 years or so and they are good buddies ... All is going well as we proceed to the third hole, a short par 3 ... we are all on the green in regulation (for older gents these guys weren't half bad ... ) Gordon is standing over his birdie put ... kinda just sways a little, steps away goes to his bag for a drink of water and COLLAPSES CLUTCHING HIS CHEST!!

THANK GOD I had my cell phone on me ... called 911, called the club house got Gordon the help he needed (and we are pretty sure it was in time, he never lost conscientiousness, and he was responsive and alert when the EMTs got there) ... Don tried to finish the round with me, but quit after that hole. Talking to him I found out that the two of them had just lost two of their other playing partners in the last month ... they had all been friends for over 30 years or so ... such a sad, sad story that kinda put every thing into perspective there and then ...

But the good news, I proceeded to play at 3 over for the rest of the round ... had a great round ... must have been the Karma coming back to me.

My wife’s grand father died on the golf course.

He had a heart attack months earlier, and was under some kind of new treatment (this was in the early 70's). His recovery was nothing short of a miracle. His doctor(s) told him he was completely cured, and they were going to write papers for the medical journals about his case.

He was on the golf course (and this is NO LIE) with a doctor and a priest. On the third hole he mentioned that he felt kind of "funny", and on the fourth tee he dropped over dead!

There is a golf joke in there somewhere...

That's crazy. I'm not sure I would have been with it enough to do what you did or to finish the round. I would have been way too shaky to finish the round. On a similar note a guy here at work said his brother was at the Ohio State game on Saturday and the guy in front of him had a heart attack and died right there in the stands. Glad to hear the guy was doing ok. Have you heard from his buddy yet to see how he's doing?

Kudos to you.

Still, I can think of worse ways to go than keeling over on a golf course at a ripe old age.

Kudos to you.

Yes that's not a bad way to go, but I would rather be shot by the husband of my 22 year old lover after he caught her and I in bed when I was 95 :)

Or get stuck in a rotating door with the girls from "the girls next door" and be smothered by their...well you know

It is so scary to think jsut how quickly these types of things can happen ... I do not have an update on Gordon, I am not sure I ever will, unless I hear about it at the course ...

I do have to admit, going on the golf course isn't a bad way ... but, I too have to vote for the being shot in bed by the husband/boyfriend/father of that smokin' hot 22 year-old when I am 95!

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
