I legitimately have nothing to say today. No matter; excelsior is my motto. Something is going on, pertaining to balls—you’re all getting shorn after closing bell. No more curly Qs on our watch. Kidding. I think. The Times reports that less of you are playing golf. Something about the game being too time consuming. Balderdash. How do you expect to ever become the CEO of some bank and lose the place billions and billions of dollars without golf? Jacking off on the job playing Text Twist ain't going to do it. Nor will building towers of cards. So…get on out there a-sap. It's a slippery slope and whatnot. (If you’re worried about missing my next post because you can’t bring electronics on the green, I’ll give you a preview of what’s to come: Rachael Ray hand-job tutorial.)

speaking of short curlies....
what do you have going on bess?
1- 10 with 1 being a peruvian jungle & 10 being a brazillian wax?

I'm guessing 1...with a tail.
Golf, while fun to slap balls around (right, bess), the value of biz relationships on the course are way overrated. Then again, I think the backslapping, buddy, buddy shit is for total hacks.

Ya, a joke gone awry. Meaning it struck me as funny, but not so much to anybody else on earth. My tact is painfully absent sometimes.

Well, since some over-zealous prudes ruined the fun that was field trips to such classy establishments as Scores and Flashdancers, golf seems to be the only remaining acceptable means of conducting business outside of the office or boring lunches/dinners

while golfers may be declining in absolute numbers, I'm not sure the "elite" have given up the game. just look at the number of new private clubs with initiation fees north of $300k (sebonac is $1 mm if you want access to the cottages). golf is only dying amongst the unwashed masses...so yes, that buddy buddy, backslapping $hit still lives.
