Restitution Payments

You told mom that you were just working on shaping your tee shot, right to left, to conform with Pebble's #3. And she said, "That's what driving ranges are for; not back yards." So when your ball went through Ms. Woowoo's window (unfortunately, while she was taking a shower), you had restitution payments to make.

You had to fix her window: $400. And you had to buy her a really big basket of fruit to try and make up for the terror she'll go to bed with now each night for a month, of violent golf balls crashing into her dreams...naked.

Next time, don't put your own name on your golf balls, hit at a driving range instead of in your back yard, and for Tiger's sake, learn how to shape your drive under pressure.
