Jamie Donley and the chimpanzee
Posted: Sun Aug 25, 2024 11:38 am
A golfer took his chimpanzee with him to play golf.
"I would like a round of golf for me and my chimp, please.” the man told the pro shop attendant.
The club pro comes over and says, "Sorry - that chimp cannot play golf here.”
"I bet you that he can play better than you and if so, we get to play for free,” the man responded.
"Okay, let's see,” the pro said.
On the first tee, the pro is the first up. He drives the ball straight down the middle 250 yards. The chimp then steps up. Takes a driver out of the golf bag, twirls it roung his head and then one-handed, unleashes a fearsome drive of 425 yards and lands it on the green 4 feet from the hole.
Shocked, the pro caved in. “Well it looks like he can play, so go ahead.”
As the pro began to walk off, he turned round and said “By the way, what’s his short game like and how does he putt?"
The golfer replied, "Just like he drives – he chips 425 yards and putts 425 yards”
Jamie Donley is clearly work-in-progress but I’ve seen him twice now and despite him getting in good positions and seeing the obvious pass, he overhits almost everything - free kicks included - giving the likes of Kelman no chance to get to the ball and consolidate the attack. Just like the chimp playing golf. We have him for the season and I’m sure he’ll come good but in time to influence our results and final position? Hmmmmm.
