More laws- this time, golf
Previously: Add 'em to the book
LAW 1: No matter how bad your last shot was, you should have inner peace knowing that an even worse shot is yet to come. (This law does not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to extend over the course of a tournament, a summer season, and, eventually, a lifetime.)
LAW 7: A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an IRS agent -- or some similar combination.
LAW 14: Since bad shots come in groups of three, your fourth consecutive bad shot is really the beginning of the next group of three.
LAW 22: The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.
LAW 25: If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.
