Car crash
OK, so as you may expect, there are a fair few jokes going around at the moment about Tiger Woods and his driving 'mishap', so I thought I'd share some of the better ones with you all.


Q. What's the difference between a car and a golf ball?
A. Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.

Q. Why did Tiger crashed into a fire hydrant AND a tree?
A. He couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.

Apparently the police asked Tiger's wife how many times she hit him. She said "I don't know exactly, but put me down for a 5."

What was Elin doing out at 2.30 in the morning? Clubbing

Tiger Woods is so rich that he owns lots of expensive cars. Now he has a hole-in-one.

Why did Phil Mickelson call Elin yesterday? To pick up some tips on how to beat Tiger.

What is the penalty for getting it in the wrong hole? Ask Tiger, he knows.

Tiger just changed his nickname but still kept it in the cat family. - Cheetah.

Q. Elin Woods has a twin sister named Josephine. How do you tell them apart?
A. Elin is the one holding the bent 5 iron.

Lorena Ochoa, currently World No.1 female golfer.
The origins of golf can be a little murky as some researchers claim they have discovered references to a form of golf from Egyptian hieroglyphics, while in China, Chui Wan ("chui" = striking and "wan" = small ball) a game of driving a ball with a stick into holes in the ground, was first mentioned in records from the 11th century.

The Dutch game also seemed to have an early version played with a stick and leather ball, while the Scottish game of 'goulf' was mentioned in two ancient laws prohibiting its play.

During the 1936 Olympic Games, Stella Walsh, otherwise known as Stanislawa Walasiewicz, a Polish sprinter, was then known internationally as the fastest woman in the world, so when she was beaten by Helen Stephens of the U.S. who simultaneously set a world record, running 100 metres in 11.4 seconds, a Polish journalist protested that Helen Stephens must be a man.
