Thanks to all who submitted, and to those who voted, in the caption contest. We stepped into this hesitantly, thinking caption contests are sort of like dining room conversation – don’t bring up politics or religion. But, the photo was just begging for a caption contest so we proceeded onward.
Some of the entries that we can share include:
Don’t worry! If you hit a bad one, take a Billigan! — Rich Killoran
Barack, I swear I am telling the truth, my ball was this far inside of those white OB stakes! — Robert Branlund
Bill: Call me crazy, but i really don’t think you get bonus points for hitting that squirrel…. — Holden Harrison
Bill: “Alright Barry, you gotta keep this left of the recession bunker, go over the fiscal cliff, and down the forgiving subsidy straightaway. Oh, and you only have 4 more shots to do it.” — Danny Schnacky
And the caption garnering the most “Likes” and winning a Sun Mountain ThermalFlex Jacket is:
Bill: You know Obama you should really be back at the white house trying to figure out this economic crisis…Obama: You know i don’t have a clue what i’m doing Bill — Cam Rice.
Cam, message us so we can get your size, color choice and shipping information.
Thanks for participating. Next caption contest we will heed the dinner time rules!
