19 PASTIMES/SPORT/GOLF

Golf is a sport played by utter bromides. It doesn’t take a genius to conclude this. Look at the dress code, the vehicles in the car parks and the middle under manager type of personality drawn to the game. It is thought that Golf originated in Scotland, China or France. The game in fact originated with naughty space aliens.
Pleased with their success in giving the ancient Greeks the bagpipes in the 5th century BC, they thought they would try their luck and introduce Golf as another comedic ruse. In the following trial of cruelty towards a developing species, the aliens defence was to claim that they didn’t think anything could be stupid enough to take the game seriously. They were found guilty of extreme truculence and sentenced to death. Measures where taken to rectify the situation and obliterate any trace of golf from Earth, but mankind’s propensity for the ridiculous was under estimated, and golf survived. After billions of Galactic pounds (at today's exchange rate 1 Galactic pound = 1 trillion pounds sterling) were spent and many centuries devoted to righting a grave wrong, the Council of the Universe gave up. They resurrected the aliens responsible and apologised for executing them in the first place. All other alien life forms have been told not to contact Earth until it grows up and bans the game of golf.
