Dub Golfer but Star Casuist.

The latest yarn from the links concerns a golfer who took a 10 in making the third hole, and said to his opponent, who had a 6: “I’ll take 8 here; 10 is too many. I don’t like double figures." “Why not say 9, instead of 8?” suggested the other. -Well, you see, 9 Is a bad number," was the reply. “You can cheat with turn it upside down and its 6, but 8 is 8, no matter how you look at it.’'— Boaton Transcript.
