Hi all,

As you may have noticed I put 'political' in the header in case folks want to avoid the mud pit some of us love. <g>

Anyway, here's a piece from today's Washington Times I thought you might find funny.

"Saudi lies
From the fairways of Virginia to the sand traps of Saudi Arabia, golfers are responding with enthusiasm to a proposed revision to the rules of golf that would replace the traditional call of "Fore."

When a player hits an errant shot he would instead be allowed to call "Gore" while the ball is still in flight. He then could replace the ball in the same spot and hit it again. The player could do this until he is satisfied the ball is going to drop where he intended to hit it in the first place.

Writes Virginia resident Jack Henrich: "I belong to Waynesboro Country Club and I fully intend to introduce 'GORE' to our Senior League."

Meanwhile, Staff Sgt. Kirk Clear, a military historian deployed to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, wonders: "Under the new Florida golf rules, if you forget to call a 'Gore' in the air, does that mean you can take a bad 'LIEberman' and place the ball back in the fairway with no penalty?"
