Welcome to 3puttblog!

I am Michael Elario and I’ve created this blog to share any and all aspects of the game of golf. This will include my (and hopefully your) insight into the latest on the tour pros, golf products, national and international events and golf destinations for us golf mortals and pros alike. My viewpoints on golf related current events will be perhaps thought provoking enough at times to elicit feedback from you.

I have been in the golf industry for over 26 years and have had my shares of highs and lows as well as traveled the world to play golf and watch the real pros play. Whether PGA Tour Pros or Senior Pros, we will exchange insight into timely current events as they relate to our own golf experiences.

This is interactive folks, so I am anticipating a lot of fun and insightful feedback. Get controversial, get excited and get involved in my own opinions and viewpoints, as well as everyone else’s. I’ll post almost anything other than just mindless profanity. I hope you will enjoy our new blog and want to interact and vent if necessary.

Fairways and Greens!

The Best Genie Joke!

A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right
through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, ‘I warned you to be careful! Now we’ll have to go up there,
find the owner, apologize, and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.’

So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, ‘Come on in.’

When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass.

A man reclining on the couch asked, ‘Are you the people that broke my window?’

‘Uh… yeah! , sir. We’re sure sorry about that,’ the husband replied.

‘Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you.. You see, I’m a genie, and I’ve been
trapped in that bottle for a thousand years.

Now that you’ve released me, I’m allowed to grant three wishes. I’ll give you each one wish, but if you don’t
mind, I’ll keep the last one for myself.’

Wow, that’s great!’ the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, ‘I’d like a million dollars a year
for the rest of my life.’

‘No problem,’ said the genie ‘You’ve got it, it’s the least I can do. And I’ll guarantee you a long, healthy life!’

‘And now you, young lady, what do you want?’ the genie asked.

‘I’d like to own a gorgeous home in every country in the world complete with servants,’ she said.

‘Consider it done,’ the genie said. And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!’

And now,’ the couple asked in unison, ‘what’s your wish, genie?’

‘Well, since I’ve been trapped in that bottle, and haven’t been
with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife.’

The husband looked at his wife and said, ‘Gee, honey, you know we
both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?’

She mulled it over for a few moments and said, ‘You know, you’re right. Considering
our good fortune, I guess I wouldn’t mind, but what about you, honey?’

You know I love you sweetheart,’ said the husband. I’d do the same for you!’

So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other.

The genie was insatiable.

After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled
over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?’

‘Why, we’re both 35,’ she responded breathlessly.

‘No Kidding,’ he said.

‘Thirty-five years old and you both still believe in genies?’

Irish Golfer

A golfer playing in Ireland hooked his drive
into the woods. Looking for his ball,
he
found a little Leprechaun flat on his back,
a big
bump on his head and the golfer’s ball
beside him.

Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured
it over the little guy,reviving him.

‘Arrgh! What happened?’ the Leprechaun asked.

‘I’m afraid I hit you with my golf ball,’ the golfer says.

‘Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes,
so whaddya want?’

‘Thank God, you’re all right!’ the golfer answers in
relief. ‘I don’t want anything, I’m just glad you’re OK, and I
apologize.’ And the golfer walks off.

‘What a nice guy,’ the Leprechaun says to himself.

I have to do something for him. I’ll give him
the three things I would want… a great golf game,
all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life.’

A year goes by and the golfer is back.
On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is
there waiting for him.

‘Twas me that made ye hit the ball here,’ the
little guy says. ‘I just want to ask ye,how’s yer golf game?’

‘My game is fantastic!’ the golfer answers.I’m an internationally famous golfer now.’He
adds, ‘By the way, it’s good to see you’re all right.’

‘Oh, I’m fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer
golf game, you know. And tell me, how’s yer money situation?’
‘Why, it’s just wonderful!’ the golfer states.


‘When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket
and pull out all the  money I need!’
‘I did that fer ye also.’ And tell me, how’s yer sex life?’

The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment,and says shyly, ‘It’s OK.’

C’mon, c’mon now,’ urged the Leprechaun,’I'm wanting to know if I
did a good job.How many times a week?’

Blushing even more, the golfer looks around then whispers,’Once, sometimes twice a week.’

‘What??’ responds the Leprechaun in shock.’That’s all? Only once or twice a week?’

‘Well,’ says the golfer, ‘I figure that’s not bad for a Catholic
priest in a small parish.’

Phil’s New Putter

Adam Scott, who was the first of three PGA Tour golfers to notch consecutive victories in August using long  putters was surprised to learn that short-game wizard Phil Mickelson had put a belly stick in his bag for this weekend’s Deutsche Bank Championship.

The long putter has been used on all the different tours. It does not have the same popularity on the PGA Tour as it does on other tours but that could easily change. A couple of top professionals that have used the long putter are Kevin Stadler, Orville Moody, and Tom Lehman, Adam Scott and now Phil. Do you think that it will have a positive impact on Phil’s short game?
