Congratulations on winning with this entry. This is a very humorous limerick. I never considered tiddlywinks a "sport".

You're too funny, Bob!! Shuffleboard and jacks might be good alternatives to golf too. My sister and her husband have trophies for "hole-in-one" golfing feats. I'm lucky when I have only 10 strokes per hole. And I always hurt my arm when I hit the dirt instead of hitting the ball, even when it's on a tee. I'm with you, Bob, no golf for me! Love, Carolyn
