Golfing with George Eastman

I played a round of golf with
George Eastman
Now, George was going on,
bragging about his game,
and at the first hole
my shot was pretty straight
and his veered sharp to the right.
And he started swearing
and cussing, me and the
other two guys thought he
was going to pop a vein
or throw a club at us. And
every hole was the same:
George wasn’t playing well
and with every shot he’d
get more and more violent,
more and more volatile.
And finally, at the last hole,
he lands his golf ball right
into the water. And he stops.
Perfectly calm. No jumping.
No swearing. No throwing of
of his golf clubs or stomping
on the ground. George just
shrugged his shoulders and
walked toward the water. He
dropped a new ball down. Not a
sound. Maybe this was the
one, we, thought, the one point
when he realized how useless his
anger was. And we watched. And
George Eastman looked at the
ball he dropped between his feet,
and then just started stomping,
and screaming, and waving
his golf club above his head, even
more violent than before, as
if the poor golf ball did some-
thing wrong. And back a the golf
cart, the three of us, at a safe
distance, stood there and laughed.
