    Can’t stop laughing–

    I played my worst round of the year today on the golf course. Did I pull an Isaac?

    I don’t think that is ‘pulling an Isaac’. However, if you had to withdraw on hole 12 because of the rubber knees, then you would be pulling an Isaac.

    Isaac – Don’t be mad…It’s all in fun.
