The 7th was a par 5. A long par 5 at that. If they’d let you have a par 6 it would have been a par 6.
Anyway, I teed off and hit a lovely ol’ shot. Straight down the fairway. Geoff followed. Landed in the rough about 45 yards from me.
No change there.
Shot 2 just about got us both over the hill. It was a real blind shot. The crest was such that you always have to wait for the bell to ring before you play.
Someone should have told the jokers behind us.
Poor old Geoff.
Submitted for Friday Fictioneers photo prompt. See if you can write a piece of flash fiction in 100 words.

D’oh, poor Geoff. Can they write it down as a hole-in-one-poor-sucker?
You would, wouldn’t you! 🙂
Good one David!
I think I know those jokers! 😉
*shakes fist*

Dear Mr. B.
Your story almost had coffee coming out my nose. When will I learn? Cute story. I enjoyed it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle. My apologies on the caffeinated nasal douche.
I always golf was deceptively safe, until a golf ball shattered the window. Great story!
Thanks so much!
Lovely writing. I really like how you haven’t told us what happened, but we know.
What a lovely comment to read. Thank you!
Well-written and very funny. I laughed out loud. It wasn’t so funny for Geoff though.
Yay! Laughter, that’s all I’m after.
lol oh, poor Geoff, i probably shouldn’t laugh but LOL 🙂
Glad you enjoyed 🙂
The perfect start to my reading day. “Fore!”

Thanks Janet 🙂
Got his bell rung, all right …
Don’t play golf ,nor do I know anything about it but got the cool twist nevertheless 😀
Thanks!

Is it true that the souls of dead golfers live on in Albatrosses?
Yes. Yes it is.
I love stories with unexpected endings, Mr Binks. Great!
I’m pleased you liked it. I do hope you’ll flick through some of my other ramblings. They go well with coffee and a biscuit.
“rinnngg my beeelllllll…ring my bell….ooo ooo” Sorry! I just couldn’t resist!! Great story! 😉
GREAT. Now *I* have that in my head.
He he he…that was my plan!!! muwahhh! 😉
Fun and funny. Poor Geoff indeed.

I try to put the ny in funny. No. Wait. I… oh forget it.
Thanks for reading!
Something tells me I’m missing a golf joke….
Oops. Those blind shots can really be a killer! (yes, that pun was intended) 🙂
That made me laugh. Good one!
My work here is done…
Oh! Ouch! Poor, hapless Geoff. Does he have a hard head to withstand the shot???
Good story – Golf with Geoff and a Giant Headache!
Thanks 🙂
Ouch I don’t know much about golf but those balls are hard. Good story.
They sure are! Thanks for reading.
I love it when a post makes me laugh so loudly, my cat runs from the room. As my husband plays golf, I definitely appreciated the humor in this short-short. What fun. There’s nothing better than a well written story that make you laugh:~)
Really glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the lovely comment.
Poor Mr. Geoff, cute story Mr. Binks. I could not help but smile as I read it 🙂 My brother and I have even tried teaching my Mum how to play golf so I was able to value the humour.
Thanks! 🙂
A tightly written story. Love it! Not being a golfer however, I think I missed the punch line. 😦
So, you missed the punch line but still enjoyed the story? I’d call that a win in my books!
That was clever. Nicely written.
Thanks for the lovely comment.
I love the simplicity of this piece, that is humorous and clever at the same time. Really well played, Mr Binks.
Thank you. I do try to keep it simple. Coz you know… my brain and stuff.
It’s not always easy to write something that is clean and simple, without feeling like you have to explain or throw out too many details, but still tells such a great story. I love that! Seems like your brain… and stuff… works really well. 😉
Thanks for the chuckle!
thanks for the comment 🙂
Great opening paragraph and a really oblique take on the prompt. Loved it!
Thanks for the comment, I like to wear my stories at a jaunty angle.
Poor Geoff! What a pity we’re all laughing at his plight though 😀
