Professor Mike took Captain Pig out to play golf on Saturday with his best friend Lardy. It wasn't raining or even windy and Captain Pig was looking forward to playing. Professor played first and after a very very long time he struck the ball long and straight right down the middle! Catpain Pig, undaunted concentrated very hard, put his bottom lip over his top one and "thwack" and the ball was airborne like a rocket, it went so high Lardy couldn't see it for a few seconds and then it finally dropped onto the fairway just 60 metres from the green. Fantastic shot said Lardy as Captain Pig smiled broadly. Prof Mike just looked the other way because he was competitive. Lardy had three attempts at hitting the ball but all of them failed miserably so he put his club back into his bag and went to the bathroom. When Prof got to his ball it had landed in someone else's divot! terrible luck.. but with Lardy away and Captain walking to his ball, he gave his ball a little kick and onto a perfect lie. He then lined up his shot, many minutes later his wedge shot hit the middle of the green and landed just 4 feet from the hole. "Wonderful" said Lardy walking back from the clubhouse.
Captain Pig's turn next, he carefully selected his sand iron and within a flash he hit the ball high, all of the players watched with intense interest. The ball dropped only an inch from the hole but bounded by and finished up18 feet from the hole."Drat" said Captain Pig. "unlucky" said Lardy, Prof smiled and said " unfortunately you can't spin the ball, otherwise it would have ended up inside mine" Captain Pig concentrated on his putt for a long time, it was a three foot downhill left to right breaker, near to impossible for mere mortals, but... Captain struck it true with great pace, the ball rushed down the slope and gradually turned towards the hole, Lardy was so excited he had to close his eyes. Finally it dropped into the cup, a tremendous putt for a birdie! Lardy enjoyed it so much he dropped his smoothie. Prof walked up to his ball and picked it up and said, "all square"..
