"Murphy's Laws" of Golf Gemza's Definitions: If it gives you enjoyment, it's play; if it gives you relaxation, it's a hobby; if it gives you a nervous breakdown, it's golf. General Law of Strategy: The strategic approach you engineered to bring the course to its knees will collapse on the first hole. First Law of the Stroke: Once struck, a golf ball acquires a mind of its own. The Patience Principle: The slowest foursome on the course is always ahead of yours. Wexler’s Law of the Course: The is never anyone around to see your 280-yard drive, but there is always someone around to see your shank. Kronk’s Law of Location: Your one perfect drive to the middle of the fairway ends up in a divot. Larry’ Law of Luck: After hitting a tree, if your ball can bounce either in or out of bounds, it will bounce out of bounds (and vice versa for your opponent’s ball). Farnum’s Dictum: Golf courses are like cereal bowls – they’re full of assorted nuts and flakes. Rule of the Rough: The quickest way to locate a ball hit into a grove of trees is to determine the worst possible location therein and head for it. The Skill Rule: Everyone is an expert at analyzing your game. Doolittle’s Par-3 Tee Shot Law: A brilliant tee shot means a three-putt green. Norman’s Law of Memory: Good shots are soon forgotten. Bad shots live on forever. Imbiber’s Law: The best shots are at the 19th hole.
