Life in a Cellophane Package
By

The golfball. A small inanimate object but they talk, the feel and they could sing if taught the songs. That is the feeling of The Golfball Liberation Army. This is a new organisation started to highlight the plight of the golfball. At the moment, the membership numbers are small (1) but with the right publicity, the founder Mr HM Murdock hopes for the numbers to grow. I spoke to him about his organisation.
"We need more people to become aware of what is happening to the golfball," he told me. "People don't realise how badly they are treated."
"For instance?" I asked him.
"Well, they are forced to travel in a stuffy golf bag for their whole life and that's the lucky ones. There are golf balls that are most unfortunate. I've seen them eaten by dogs, drowned and also ones that are lost in the woods. Not only that, some are just constantly smacked around a course, in and out of holes and sandpits. Can you imagine what it feels like to be hit with a giant iron stick and knocked for 300 yards?"
Once Mr Murdock got started, there was no stopping him.
"We need a telethon. A friend of mine suggested it. We need big names in golf to host it and to say how sorry they are to the golfball."
"Who did you have in mind?"
"Arnold Palmer was one I thought of."
The Golfball Liberation Army is on their way. Golfers, be warned.
