There wasn’t a Pringle jumper in sight when the team celebrated Corixa’s 16th birthday in (non Argyle) style with a round of crazy golf.
Sylvie’s bizarrely effective one-handed chop shot (patent pending) would have horrified conservationists and health and safety experts alike. Fortunately, all foliage and wildlife at the Jungle Rumble course was plastic, so we only had the course owners – and a few shell shocked fellow golfers – to answer to.
And with glasses in hand as we putted, we didn’t even have to wait until the 19th to take the edge off some truly horrific scores.
A seven year old we know has a favourite golfing joke which goes thus: Why should a golfer always take a spare pair of socks? Answer – in case he gets a hole in one. The reason seven year olds think this is so hilarious is that unlike many more adult jokes, there’s no victim. And whether you’re seven or sixteen, you’ve got to think that the occasional victimless joke is a refreshingly good thing. Even if it’s not funny.
Happy birthday Corixa!
