GOLF HUMOUR of the day...


Blind Golf

A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for particularly slow group of golfers.

The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!"
The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greenskeeper. Let's have a word with him."

"Hi George. Say, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The greenskeeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime."
The group was silent for a moment.

The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"

Golf - Olazabal receives the Ryder Cup job for 2012 defense...

One of my favorite golfers of all time, Jose Maria Olazabal, was on Tuesday named as Europe's Ryder Cup captain for their title defence next year in Medinah, Chicago.

The popular 44-year-old Spaniard, who forged one of the most unforgettable partnerships with Seve Ballesteros in the history of the biennial championship, was elected unanimously by the 15-man Tournament Players Committee of the European Tour.

The announcement was officially made by European Tour chief executive George O'Grady, and TPC Chairman Thomas Bjorn during the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, which starts at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club's National course from Thursday.

"If not the biggest, this is definitely one of the biggest challenges of my career, especially at this stage of my life," said Olazabal.

"I am very passionate about Ryder Cup, but being the captain and trying to win it, you only get one shot at it."


The Spaniard also said that he is feeling a lot better physically - he has been suffering from rheumatism and could play only three events last year - and that has been a big factor in him accepting the responsibility.

Olazabal played in seven Ryder Cups and was vice-captain for the past two tournaments.

The two-time Masters champion made his Ryder Cup debut at Muirfield Village in 1987 alongside compatriot Seve Ballesteros.

They won their first three games together as Europe triumphed on American soil for the first time and went on to be beaten only twice in 15 contests.

In all, Olazabal won 18 and halved five of his 31 matches while he has been on the winning side three times - in 1987, 1997 and 2006.
