So I go into the pro shop after the first nine, and the assistant pro, a young guy named Alex, asks
how my game's going. I tell him all is well, except for my chipping within 5-10 yards of the green.
Can't seem to get the hang of it today. So Alex comes up close and says, "The problem is your loft."

I replied that I'd tried my eight iron, pitching wedge, gap wedge and lob wedge...nothing seemed to
work. He comes closer and says, "It's not the club, it's your loft." To which I reply, "What do you
mean, I'm using every different loft I have?"

And he comes closer and says, "Your loft, John, your loft...your Lack Of ****ing Talent!"

Nice guy, huh?

We could have told you that and saved you the public embarrassment.

The joke was funny. Your antagonistic remark was lame, as usual.

I am one of the loftiest guys on the course but I get away with it
because I have a lot of balls.

Hell, you'd probably be riding Harry's alligator!

"Loft" I'll have to remember that. Well- maybe not but yes, it's funny. Lol

Either that or he's not addressing the ball with due respect.

I was playing golf one day, and about halfway though the round I happened to look up at the roof of the golf cart. Someone had written right above my head, "Your problem is, you look up!". Heh.

I always address the ball thusly "Bu bye and tell them I am sorry"

Good. Compassionate but not too gushy.
