Golfing Stories C. J. Bruce

Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled to be for 'Gentlemen Only... Ladies Forbidden'.. . and thus, the word GOLF entered into the English language. That is what I am told but I'm not able to verify it. This collection of golfing jokes and cartoons has been compiled from those sent to me by friends from around the world and my sole function has been to edit them. Many of the jokes have been around for decades and tend to reappear in one or another revamped form on the internet and in magazines and newspapers from time to time. Wherever a joke is known to have been told by a particular person the joke is attributed to that person but in most instances this is not the case. All but three of the illustrations found in the Plain Family Fun are by Kitti Meeboonnum and Wirat Sukcharoen. Golfing Stories was compiled with a view to providing readers with a modicum of amusement during those sometimes not so quiet moments in the toilet, wc, loo, lav, lavatory, gents, ladies or thunderbox as it was sometimes called in the good old days and where it is just not possible to wield a putter. I trust that you will take it with you to one of the few places where it is not commonplace to be able to take your computer (even if it is a laptop), and wish you many hours of amusement in that most private of places. To those of you purchasing this collection I I wish you an hour or three of great amusement.
