my cow-orker got a hole-in-one

Recommended Posts

what's he on about? i thought that meant he'd stepped on a nail, but he seemed too happy for it to have meant he'd ruined a pair of boots. [unsure].

What the heck is a cow-orker?



I don't think he should be bragging that he knows someone who orks cows. That just sounds nasty. :|

sorry, should have put tags in there.

cow-orker: it's a dilbert thing. co-worker....never mind

i know what a hole-in-one is, i was trying (in vain apparently) to make a joke.

i don't know if he's a funny pants type golfer, but he has the short, overweight, balding, middle-aged thing down.

i'll go back to my self-imposed banishment from bonfire now.

Its a golf thing it means he got the ball to go in the hole with one stroke (i.e. off the T)... Kind of like a strike in bowling only a helluva lot less common... :D



I would equate a strike in bowling to a par in golf. An average/good bowler should get at least a few each game, as an average/good golfer should get a few pars a round. A hole in one in golf would be more like a perfect game in bowling. You just don't see it much, and almost no average/good golfer or bowler will get one.

It was the best analogy I could come up with on short notice... and then not only is the guy being sarcastic... but now I'm being told that my analogy sucks... :|

Interestingly, there are a lot more semi-serious golfers than bowlers. Stats are relative.

But for the average/good golfer or bowler, they are lucky if they ever get a hole in one or perfect game in their entire life. THAT'S how it equates.

Do you have the stats on that or are you just guessing?

I'd be surprised. I've heard of people getting 2 and 3 perfect games in a row, but never a golfer hitting 2 or 3 aces in a row.

Sure there have been! Just go watch the movie Happy Gilmore! He got a hole in one on a par 4! :D:D:D

An 800 series in bowling (800 total for three consecutive games) is actually a lot more difficult and less common than a single perfect 300 game...

And in golf, the double eagle (3 under par! a two on a par five hole!) is way more rare than the 'ace', or hole in one...

Me... on a bad day, my golf and bowling scores are interchangable... is that a good thing? :P

It depends on how low your bowling score is... :D



I average about 100-120 either way. :D
