Bisham Abbey, near home

Ball games bore me

I spent several minutes watching Henmann being humiliated and then going on to win. This guy has such a surly face when playing; like a brat who has been punished by his games master by being sent to play tennis. He bores me to tears. Tennis is not actually boring but as for golf, well...
One could make golf interesting by adding some features to the golf course such as:
silly noises coming out of the holes as the ball drops in (the croud applauds)
occasional explosions in bunkers - preferably fatal ones for the players with limbs flying sky-high and landing on the putting green (the croud applauds loudly)
slippery slopes causing the players to land on their bum with a thump (the croud goes really wild)
high-speed lawn mowers mowing down players and spectators alike as they go out of control during the match, eventually knocking down the TV cameras - whereupon the announcer will say "And now for something completely different: Tim Henmann NOT winning the Wimbledon final"
