In the Rough.

Just thought l'd share a funny story my cousin Mandy told me whilst she was out playing golf recently..........

Mandy had gone to play golf with her partner Pete with another couple at a rather posh golf club. It was getting late as they were reaching the last few holes and the two guys were looking for a lost ball in the longer grass, whilst looking they found another lost ball. Pete called Mandy over and gave it to her as it had 'Royal Bank of Scotland' on it and thats who Mandy used to work for, so she was touched at the thought and put it in her jacket pocket. They continued to play. I forgot to add that she was already feeling really nervous as she didn't really know the couple they were playing and was trying to make a good impression!! Anyway she then started to get hot so decided to take her jacket off; just then a golf ball seemed to come flying from no-where. Pete straight away became really annoyed because they hadn't heard anyone shout '4' and it looked as if it had been directed at Mandy personally because of where they were. Pete was getting irrate and Mandy spotted two young groundsman not too far away but they didn't have any golf clubs with them, but they couldn't believe that it would have been them but decided that the minute they got back to the club house they would be complaining about the incident. Just then the rather posh friend they were playing with walked up and asked who's ball was on the ground at this point Mandy and Pete explained how someone had delibrately directed it at them it seemed and how annoyed they were, he bent down and picked it up only to see that on it it said 'Royal Bank of Scotland' he said Doesn't this belong to you Mandy? It was then that Mandy checked her pocket and realized that when she had got hot and through her jacket over her shoulder the ball had come flying out on the floor in front of her !! She then became really hysterical and couldn't stop laughing. The other couple couldn't see the funny side at all !!

This is just my kind of sense of humour l think if your going to show yourself up then do it in style !!!
