Golf. Some would call it a pastime, others a lifestyle. And if you're under 30, boring. Very, very boring. In response to golf's declining popularity with young people, some country clubs have introduced a new variation of the game called Combat Golf. A golfer tees off and then has a two-minute head start before the other members of the foursome give chase.

The three attackers are allowed to do anything they like to hinder the golfer outside of injury, at least intentionally. Wink, wink. The inventor of combat golf goes by the name of Payne Stewart. Payne spelled P-A-I-N. He says, quote, my daddy loved golf more than he loved me. When it was his weekend to have me, he made me caddy for him. Oh, the destruction I imagined causing with his golf clubs.

Who knew my revenge fantasy would turn into a legitimate team sport?

As a New Yorker, I find it hilarious and very cute that New Jersey thinks that aliens and the government are interested in its matters. Like the idea that they think they're that worthy of attention from outer space. Major League Baseball is not interested in New Jersey. The NBA is not interested in New Jersey.

So there's a whole civilization growing on the ornaments over the course of a year? Yes, exactly.

Oh, a Frosty the Snowman kit. Well, I'll give it to you. Snowman hands.

The Jets and Giants play in New Jersey, but they don't even want to be associated with them. And you're telling me aliens and the government are putting drones out there.

Wait, so the Rat Boy craze, who was in that? The Rat Boy, that was last summer.

No one asked for this. Like, there's an expression, like, you know, if you feel like you're about to die, you're like, I saw my life flash before my eyes. When did that become a good thing? Right. Nobody wants this information. Yes.

I mean, it's hard when Betty White has raised the bar so high for elderly people in comedy. That's true. Like, honestly, if it wasn't the Pope, would they let him write a thing about comedy? It was good. That was the major point of the article. It's nice to laugh, which I think in the 1400s would have been groundbreaking. Right, exactly.
