Fun and Games - Modify a famous movie line to apply to golf

[Imp]

As a single, and get paired up with three others, Discussion eventually turns into "what do you do?"

I use a line from Office Space: "I sit in a cubicle and I update bank software for the 2000 switch." And see if they're really interested and paying attention or just making the motions. Either "wait, what? Y2000?" or "Oh, ok." Had a couple get the "Office space?" :lol:

"No, really, what do you do?"

"Just enough to not get fired." (Again, office space).

I really just don't like talking about work on the course. I'm not at work, rather not think about it, and there's nothing I can offer them through some networking opportunity that they would benefit from.

Contemplating a tough shot out of the left fairway bunker:

 

Caddie: Sir, the possibility of successfully hitting a 200 yard draw around the tree with a 5 iron off that plugged downhill lie, clearing the steep face, carrying the penalty area, and holding the redan green is approximately 3,720 to 1.

 

Me: Never tell me the odds

"The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that golf, for lack of a better word, is good.  Golf is right.  Golf works.  Golf clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.”

 

“Golf, in all of its forms — golf for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind.”

"Leave the driver, take the cannoli..."

 

"I know it was you, Fredo.  You broke my putter..."

Rules Official: You should read the USGA Rule Book and Decisions.

Golfer  : I have read them.

Rules Official  : Didn't that discourage you from asking for advice even on a course you are not familiar with?

Golfer : No, but it sure killed my appetite for readin'!

Just any situation good or bad in golf, "Are you not entertained, is this not why you are here?"

2) spectacular shot, up & down, birdie, eagle better... it works.
