Tuesday May 8, 2007 | 11:43:37 291 words, 8783 views
This month’s Golf Digest offers a clever little feature entitled “Top 10 things to say to rattle your match play opponent.” For example, “Do you always take your club that far back on your backswing?” Or even better, “Does your kid have a tattoo? I could’ve sworn I saw him coming out of a tattoo parlor the other day.” And my personal favorite: “I can’t wait to get Hillary Clinton back in the White House. We need her more than ever.” Well I don’t know about the rest of you ladies, but my usual match play opponent tends to be my husband. And husbands have the most easily exploited underbellies around. So ladies, with all due respect to the jokesters at Golf Digest, I bring you the Top 10 Things to Say to Rattle Your Husband (or Boyfriend) in Match Play. I can personally vouch for the shanks-inducing power of Number 4. Feel free to contribute if you see fit. 10. We need to talk. 9. You should’ve heard what the women in the pro shop were saying about you. 8. Remember my ex-boyfriend Bill? He called me the other day—he and his wife are breaking up. 7. Honey, I want to remodel the house again. 6. As soon as we get home, do you know what I’m gonna do to you? 5. Oh damn, I forgot to tell you, you know that big potential client of yours? He called a couple of days ago, he said it was urgent. 4. I’m going commando. 3. I’ve decided to join a Women’s Anger Group, like in Jerry Maguire. They’re going to meet at our house on Tuesdays. 2. Weren’t we supposed to pick up the kids ten minutes ago? And the number-one thing guaranteed to rattle your husband in match play: 1. I’m late. Comments:

Ha-hah!! Hysterical -- except for #1 (unless you count the etymology of 'hysterical').
:) You've absolutely nailed these, and the sad/scary thing is, I cannot think of even one thing to say that would rattle my spouse to anywhere near the same extent, even if she did play golf. Sigh...

No. 6 is cheating, plain & simple.
The problem with #6, is that he may just start taking the cart back to the car. So only use that one if you're prepared to get called on it....
My husband has a habit, when I've got him by one, and am getting ready to putt, of saying "bend over more." I'll have to remember to respond with #4, I may still lose that hole, but could probably make it up on the next one. Heh heh heh.....
I loved the one my sister in law used. She waited til my bro was leaning over to putt and then said: "Honey, remind me to mend those pants tonight."

Oh no I am never going to win again and I thought cheating at golf was when you threw the ball ;o)

Excellent post, better than most all the Letterman Top-10's I've heard in the past 5 years. #4 rocks!
