These are also universal:
Subject: Laws of Golf
LAW 1
No matter how bad your last shot was, the worst is yet to come. This
law
does
not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to
extend
over the course of a tournament, a summer and, eventually, a lifetime.
LAW 2
Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your
worst
round ever. The probability of the latter increases with the number of
people you tell about the former.
LAW 3
Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven
in
the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the
greater
its attraction to water.
LAW 4
Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play. If one does, the
tree
is breaking a law of the universe and should be cut down.
LAW 5
No matter what causes a golfer to muff a shot, all his playing partners
must solemnly chant "You looked up," or invoke the wrath of the
universe.
LAW 6
The higher a golfer's handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as
an
instructor.
LAW 7
Every par-three hole in the world has a secret desire to humiliate
golfers. The shorter the hole, the greater its desire.
LAW 8
Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.
LAW 9
Palm trees eat golf balls.
LAW 10
Sand is alive. If it isn't, how do you explain the way it works against
you?
LAW 11
Golf carts always run out of juice at the farthest point from the
clubhouse.
LAW 12
A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in
your
group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a
football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an
IRS
agent -- or some similar combination.
LAW 13
All 3-woods are demon-possessed. All 2-irons are
double-demon-possessed.
LAW 14
Golf balls from the same "sleeve" tend to follow one another,
particularly
out of bounds or into the water (See Law three).
LAW 15
A severe slice is a thing of awesome power and beauty.
LAW 16
"Nice lag" can usually be translated to "lousy putt." Similarly, "Tough
break" can usually be translated "Way to miss an easy one, sucker."
LAW 17
The person you would most hate to lose to will always be the one who
beats
you.
LAW 18
The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to
what it really should be.
LAW 19
Golf should be given up at least twice per month.
LAW 20
All vows taken on a golf course shall be valid only until the Sun sets.
