The Grinch Steals Time at Golf Course


(holidayexpress.org)

THANKS TO AN ANONYMOUS TIP, ARMCHAIR GOLF caught up to the Grinch after a recent round of golf. As it turns out, the Grinch has been playing four days a week at what is normally his busiest time of year.

�So how are things in Whoville?� we asked.

�Rotten,� the Grinch snickered.

�The Whos are really hurting. Christmas isn�t even worth stealing this year. Why do you think I'm playing golf? I had to find something else to do.�

The Grinch has been teeing it up at an undisclosed location, a well-known private club that fears bad publicity if word gets out that the Grinch is its newest member.

�These golf clubs, even the private ones, are losing members in droves,� the Grinch said.

�Membership is down 29 percent and one in five private clubs could be gone in five years. They had to take me.�

And how does the Grinch know so much about the state of golf?

�I read it in the Wall Street Journal,� he said. �Free subscription.�

Actually, the Grinch doesn�t even like golf.

�Dumb game,� he said. �But it�s great for killing time, and I�ve got plenty of it. Mainly, I like driving the cart. I even drive it on the greens.

�They�re not going to do anything about it,� the Grinch added, chuckling. �Hey, I�m one of their only players now.�
