What is water golf?
I work for Water, we're having a conference next week and Monday is the golf tournament for water. Proceeds usually go to a Water For Life type nonprofit. But it's the golf tournament for the water conference.
 
You are correct Kev.
And Yoda made Luke tacos on Tantuine when he was becoming a jedi.
They are the fuel of the gods my friend.
Thank goodness I’m eating tacos tonight then!
 
No tacos here... My wife made chicken spaghetti, cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper salad, and cantaloupe. Apparently they made some pasta for pasta salad tomorrow.

So normally I would take bets on he would win this tournament; however, since he just got a promotion and is politically savvy, he will back off just enough and come in 2nd or 3rd, depending on who’s on the board. Respectable finish, but not a showboat.

I bet 3rd place. Muhahaha

For the record (see, this puts it in writing and makes it official and since it's now forever on the Internet it must be truth) this will be my second time ever golfing. Ever.

So I’m correct with placing 3rd!

Dude, your that guy everyone knows who says they’ve never played a sport or played cards and then proceeds to kick everyone’s ars-e.

You are a natural winner- just accept it

I asked the vendor that invited me if I have to be good and he said "Well, you'll be golfing with me, Dan, and some dude from Gilbert so we're definitely not winning so... No?"
