golf ball on a string

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I cannot remember the date because this was quite a while ago now.

y grandfather had just bought a new golf ball on a elastic string set. So myself, my brother and my grandfather wondered outside to test it out... i bet you can already see where this is going ;) We set it up and my grandfather had a few swings, it was not bad at all for practice. Then my brother decides to have a shot. he grabs a tea and a 9 iron and lines up next to the ball. y grandfather points out that this was a very bad idea but as any 16 year old is he going to listen? hahaha not at all. He swings and the ball and connects well...the ball shoots straight up into the air and comes down at quite a speed and connects with my brothers forehead! He falls to the ground yelling, and an instant later myself and my grandfather fall to the ground laughting at him.

The golf ball was actually split down the middle!

From the house window my mother and two aunts see my granfather fall to the ground and think he has had a heart attack! so they come running outside and see myself, my grandfather and me all lying on the ground gasping for breath.

God knows what they must have been thinking.

You get the general idea of the story, if you want to make it sound better go for it. But i assure you it is very true. I can get 2 other poeple to confirm this.

i think i actually could find the split gold ball!

sounds like a dangerous design, but was being used according to instructions and not in a particularly reckless fashion. I assume the club split the ball, not the victim's head.
