Golf Balls – A Dog’s Life
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
We all know that dogs love nothing more than to fetch but dogs and golf balls don’t necessarily mix.
3,000 Golf Balls
It’s not the usual profile of a Golf Club member hairy, likes bones, sniffing smelly things and running after its tail. But Deuce, a mongrel terrier was granted life membership of a British golf club in Wales after collecting 3,000 golf balls.
Fetch!
The owner of Deuce, Mr Phillis told the golf club’s local paper that it all began with tennis balls: It just started as a bit of fun, throwing a tennis ball for him to retrieve it, he explained. Then the thought came to me, would he pick up golf balls?
And collecting the golf balls can be a real challenge when the grass is longer and the ferns have grown you need the nose of a blood hound to track the golf balls down.
Woof Woof!
The golf balls belong to the Monmouthshire club, which is close to where Mr Phillis and Deuce live, and where he walks his dog every evening. Deuce finds the golf balls in the rough areas at the side of the course, but thankfully the dog leaves moving golf balls untouched: He just doesn’t bother, he isn’t trained to do that, Mr Phillis said, which must be a huge relief for the club’s members.
Barking mad
Deuce is awarded his favourite treats for retrieving the golf balls from the club’s members every year they make a collection for a slush fund for the dog. And of course, he is an honorary member although Deuce is not allowed in the club house.
Wolfing them down
Another British dog proved she was barking mad when she swallowed 28 golf balls. Libby, the German shepherd, bewildered vets who had to operate on the dog after it fell sick after swallowing the golf balls. Libby began to cough up blood a few weeks after collecting balls at the Manchester golf course where his owner, Mike Wardrop, worked. The vets didn’t even do an X-ray of Libby’s stomach as they could hear the golf balls rattling around.
New balls please
Even the vets were shocked about the number of golf balls that came out of Libby’s stomach. They had betted around 11, not 28. The golf balls weighted six pounds altogether and it took two and half hours to remove them along with 30 stitches. Mr Wardrop was amazed his dog could swallow them whole without choking

Excerpt: Vijay Singh, CF (Fijian Hindustani: , IPA: ; born 22 February 1963), nicknamed “The Big Fijian”, is a Fijian professional golfer who was number one in the Official World Golf Rankings for 32 weeks in 2004 and 2005. He has won three major championships (The Masters in 2000 and the PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004) and was the leading PGA Tour money winner in 2003, 2004 and 2008. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2006. He won the FedEx Cup in 2008. An Indo-Fijian of Hindu background, Singh was born in Lautoka, Fiji and grew up in Nadi. A resident of Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, he is known for his meticulous preparation, often staying at the range hours before and after his tournament rounds working on his game. Singh is married to Ardena Seth, who is Malaysian. They have a son, Qass Seth. Singh recollected to reporters about his childhood: “When we were kids we couldn’t afford golf balls so we had to make do with coconuts. My father used to say, ‘Little Vijay, golf balls don’t fall off trees you know,’ so I found some that did!” Growing up, he played snooker, cricket, football, and also the island’s most popular sport, rugby. He is the son of Mohan Singh, an airplane technician who also taught golf. Growing up, he admired the swing of Tom Weiskopf, using it as an early model for his own. Two years after turning professional, in 1984, Singh won the Malaysian PGA Championship. However, his career was plunged into crisis after he was suspended from the Asian Tour in 1985 over allegations he doctored his scorecard. It was alleged that he lowered his score from one over to one under in order to make the cut, but Singh denies this, saying that in any case, it should only have resulted in disqualification from the event rather than … More: |
