19th Annual Pro Ad Golf Tournament
Excuses for Copywriters
It's always handy to have an excuse in advance of a bad round. We asked to hear your best excuse as to why your golf game may not be up to par the day of the tournament. Here are some of the responses...
David
Thiel explains:
My
game's gonna be really bad today. No really, I'm not just sandbagging
-- I'm beat! Why? Well, don't tell anyone, but at night, I fight crime.
My costume's not that exciting, and my car isn't even turbocharged, but
nothing can beat the satisfaction of getting the scum off our streets,
restoring faith in community, and fighting for peace and justice. It's
almost as good as when I make a par!
Anyway, it's a long story, but I tried to stop some pre-teens from littering
last night, and they sorta beat me up a little and tied me to a telephone
pole. I just got back.
Rick Cieply's golf game is going to be bad because he's:
Still
wondering why on this exact day in 1587, Sigismund III was chosen to be
the king of Poland and not Stanislaus IV.
T.C. Pellett claims:
I didn't put enough swing oil on my clubs last night so...
Jack Foley said he's:
Not sure which of my multiple personalities will show up!
Geoff Taylor says:
I don't believe in making excuses. Why just the other day, I was telling my friend Emily Latella that I intend to kick everyone's butt on Tuesday with the highest score, so bring it on you bunch of whiners.
Anne Moscicki said:
I was REEEALLY worried about all the work back at the office......
Matt Cook claims:
So, I'm hiking in the Nepalese Himalayas, with a Sherpa, Pemba, as my
guide, and we get to the base of this glacier at the bottom of a 10,000
ft. crevasse...there are golf balls everywhere. I give Pemba a "What the
hell's all this?" look and he just keeps walking like this couldn't be
more normal. Before I get the chance to question it further, a scream
reverberates down the crevasse. I look up, there's was a flash of white,
and then, nothing.
I woke up with Pemba hunched over me holding a Titleist and motioning
that it just struck my forhead, which explained the throbbing goose egg.
While he was acting out what had just taken place, he kept repeating "Lama."
I still have no idea what the hell he was talking about, but anyway, aside
from still being a little concussed, I tweaked my back when I fell. I'm
gonna be worthless out there.
Debbie Johnston said:
My golf game is not up to par due too many company conference calls and reports arriving last minute everyday – oh and I am a mom of 2 with no “mom golf time”
Donna Prestron claims:
My golf game is not up to par because .... I don't hold enough meetings
on the golf course!
Carl Stehler explains:
My boss doesn't sign me up for enough golf outings.
