A round of golf with the gents turned into a sordid affair for Bill Hurst (66) who was forced to talk shit about his wife Sue Hurst (63), despite the fact they have a close and loving relationship.
Hurst was aware that his mates participate in a bit of blue talk but did not realise how much everyone else but him hates the marriage they voluntarily entered into and needs to use hitting balls with sticks as an excuse to air their grievances.
“God she does my head in,” stated perpetually sunburnt Hugh Todd as he took enough bunker sand with him to make his own beach.
“Mmm,” replied Hurst as he wondered if this topic was going to continue for the remaining 17 holes.
As they continued to play it became clear to Hurst that he was going to have to jump in with some criticism about his adoring life partner that he would be literally helpless and lonely without.
“Yeah, I have to rinse the dishes before they go in the dishwasher if they’ve had egg on them…”
Soon enough Hurst learnt that his lightly applied criticisms of domestic duties (of which his wife handles in their entirety) were not going to cut it if he wanted to play golf with his group of friends that seem to genuinely hate the women in their lives.
Speaking exclusively with The Advocate Hurst revealed he has tried to find a group of people who like to play a round without complaining about their wife, but has been unable to do so outside of a mini golf course.
“Greg made a joke about the ball being the size of his wife’s brain then drove it 4000 yards. He got his secretary pregnant once, he’s the last person who should be slagging off his long-suffering wife.”
Although believing himself to be above this type of talk, Hurst admitted to saying similar things in order to get invited to play again next week.
