The One That Got Away

Here’s the funniest story of the year! We were playing at Pacific Grove near Monterey Bay, CA  and had all rented pull carts (those three-wheeled jobs that roll real easily).  As my partner was waiting his turn in the fairway, he noticed his cart starting to roll downhill. No problem, he thought as he looked back to watch another player hit. It’ll roll a little ways then stop. As he turned back, he saw it still rolling, picking up speed and headed for the lake! He burst into a run (such as it was) and the chase was on. I’m howling with laughter as the cart continues to pull away with our friend straining mightily in what appears to be a losing effort. It took me three limericks to capture the whole story. Enjoy!

In the fairway he’d made a mistake
By failing to engage the brake.
His cart started rolling Golf Pull Cart
As we were extolling,
“It’s headed straight into the lake!”

When finally he heard what we said
His eyes bulged with impending dread.
He started to run
Which heightened the fun,
‘Cause he’s slow and a bit over-fed.

As the cart started pulling away
We laughed at the comic display.
In the end it stopped short
As the rough did abort,
Our story from Monterey Bay.

    I know that course and hole. I can just picture that guy lumbering after his clubs down the hill. Thanks for the chuckle.
