My big brother’s wife is 7 years younger than me but she insists on calling me Bamunini and somehow i feel like it’s so disrespectful.🥹 Like, slow down kid, call me Malume, bro or something 😭
@NUCLRGOLF Walking allows me time to make all important decisions before I get to my ball..Wind direction,wind speed,distance to target,hazards to avoid etc.
@FigoTongai@ragnar_alwyn Sometimes it is also because we mix spoken and written shona.
I believe the written form would be " Havaisazo fumira kuenda ikoko"
Even in the English language, there is a slight difference between the written and spoken expressions.
We paid lobola on behalf of our brother on Sunday. They wanted R80 000 but we only had R60 000.
We agreed that we will pay the remaining R20 000 within the next three months.
It was also agreed that our bride will remain at her home until lobola is fully paid.Unfortunately our brother got involved in a car accident and died.
From a cultural point of view, what must happen to the money we paid❓
Must it be refunded back to us or what❓
A husband very reluctantly agreed to play in a couples’ alternate shot tournament at his golf club with his wife.
He tees off on the first hole, a par four, and blasts his drive about 280 yards right down the middle of the fairway.
As he and his wife walk toward his drive, the husband calmly says to his bride, “Just try to hit the ball toward the green. You don’t need to get it all the way there; anywhere close would be great.”
The wife takes a crazy swing and shanks the ball deep into the woods.
Keeping his cool, the husband says, “That's okay, Honey,” as the couple spends five minutes searching for the ball in the woods.
He finds the ball just in time, but it’s in a terrible spot. Nonetheless, he plays the shot of his life and gets the ball to within about two feet of the hole. He looks over at his wife and with an encouraging tone says, “Now, knock it in the hole!”
His wife sizes up the putt, nervously hammers it, and knocks the ball off the green and into the green side sand trap.
More than a little stunned, but still keeping his composure, the husband makes another incredible shot, holing out from the bunker!
He casually walks onto the green, bends down, takes the ball out of the hole, and while walking off the green, puts his arm around his wife and calmly says, “Honey, that was a bogey five and that's okay, but I think we can do better on the next hole.”
The wife looks back at him with that look that only she possesses and replies, “Listen here, only 2 of those 5 shots were mine!”
Prepared to ruffle some feathers with this one...
In 2018, the average male hit their driver 224.0 yards.
In 2025?
224.1 yards.
8 years. A tenth of a yard.
So remind us again why recreational golfers need a rolled-back ball?
THE DATA: buff.ly/aJYul4G
A lot of golfers hit a wall somewhere around a 5 handicap.
Dropping those last few strokes to get down to scratch can be grueling.
For those who have experienced/overcome this, what advice would you give?
Did you improve scrambling? Approach proximity? Distance off the tee? Something else?
This is the level of golf I find most interesting.
The data points to approach play, but curious to see what everyone’s experience is.
