The fortieth photograph to feature in BlogF1’s caption contest. You know the drill, think of something funny and witty to say and leave it as a comment below. This time we have a shot taken at a recent golf tournament, organised in celebration of Rubens Barrichello’s 257th grand prix start. Here, Barrichello discusses the finer points of golf with F1’s other OAP, David Coulthard.

dc: y’knoh. if they’d only given lewis a proper costume and not made him do the flying thing in his racing suit then it’d have been okay.
rb: for sure.

DC: And then you watch to see where your ball ends up.
FM: Are you supposed to aim for the trees like that, David?
May 14th, 2008 at 1:27pm
Driver of the day?
May 14th, 2008 at 3:02pm
Hah, it’s Barrichello, isn’t it? Missed the Honda jacket and just assumed. No matter, just substitute RB for FM.

@Clive: I’ll put the names in bold type next time!
RB: Hey David, isn’t it you who normally gets stuck in the sand-trap?

(after watching DC not making a move for about an hour)
RB : What are you thinking so hard on, DC?
DC : I am researching to make the ball find it’s way through the trees instead of me driving it..
RB : DC, probably you should move that research to F1, finding a way one’s car moves away from other nearing ones, instead of you making it to, hehehe

DC: I’m not sure I really like this cane the FIA have forced me to use?
RB: Well if it helps you avoid other cars then I’m all for it!

Didn’t actually read the post, Oliver - I thought all these caption contests just said the same thing! But I still think it looks a lot more like Massa than Barrichello - you don’t suppose Rubens let him use the gear that day, do you?
Anyway, here’s another entry, not concentrating on DC’s recent record for a change:
DC: Scottish invention, golf, ya know, Rubens. Think it would suit me for my retirement?
RB: Dunno, David, but, if we have to go for our national sports, does that mean I’ll be playing football? I was thinking about crown bowling, myself…
May 14th, 2008 at 10:39pm
DC: That’s the third time Lewis has put the ball in the drink this game!
RB: Well, this is one sport these youngsters will never master…
May 14th, 2008 at 10:59pm
RB : They are really far now ! What do you think?
DC : Well… Just watch for the safety car going out… we will catch up then !

@Clive: Ooooh, I’ve so been trying to get bowling into a comment all day! I take my cap off sir, you got there first. The captions were just that previously, but when I changed to this ‘ere look, there was no way (that I can currently figure out) to exclude the thumbnail. Thus, I need a bit of text to push the larger image down. Besides, it offers more opportunity to waffle…
@Everyone: Great comments, I’m enjoying them all.
Edit: I just got the double-meaning in my comment above. When I said ‘cane’, I meant the things blind people use, not a walking stick. But walking stick works and is less offensive.

RB : So… what is the time David?
DC: 1′12”… this is not what I call I quick pee-stop Rubens !
(I apologise for this gallic humour)
May 15th, 2008 at 9:34pm
DC - between two of us we have got pair of oldest balls on the course.
RB - These kids actually think finding our balls on the course is part of the game , great party eh !!
May 16th, 2008 at 12:10am
RB : Eagle!
DC: Who? Me?
RB: Shutup Famous Grouse !
May 16th, 2008 at 12:27am
RB: the flag says 18. Still 18 laps to go then?
DC: I give up Rubens! Fancy a drink in the clubhouse?
May 23rd, 2008 at 7:08am
Thinking in retrospect !

October 5th, 2008 at 7:12pm
Sorry Ollie, I`ll watch my Ps and Qs in future.It does read better now you`ve changed it.

No problem Gusto.
Comments containing swear words usually go straight to moderation, like yours did yesterday. I normally just delete them but as you’d been having fun with the captions I altered the language and allowed the comment.
I don’t mind the odd soft-swearing, but strong four-letter words are generally a no-no - youngsters might be reading. But like I said, no problem Gusto, and thanks for commenting.
Edit: I’ve just realised my comment policy says nothing about language, so apologies to Gusto. I’ll edit the policy after I’ve typed this edit.
