Sorry
Bruno, but I can’t help it! Just two more holes and we’ll be walking over the
ancient Swilcan Bridge, in the footsteps of Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. It dates back to when this was a field
used by shepherds in the Middle Ages. I bought my best camera even though the
forecast said it might rain.

particular time

This wine jug dates back to the 14th century CE.
Nick,
you’re getting on my nerves. How can you be so
enthusiastic about a bridge on a golf course? Bridges cross bodies of water,
buddy. I need another water hazard like a hole in the head. Now let me tee
off.

That dog howling next door is really getting on my nerves.

I need another errand to run today like a hole in the head.

“A hole in the head” is the expected
result of a gunshot to the human head.
It’s
not about the score, Bruno! We’re going to remember this round for the rest of
our lives! The other guys are going to be jealous big time when we show them a genuine St. Andrews score card!
* big time: very much; to a great extent

We will be making money big time when the world discovers how good these
pizza flavored potato chips are.
That’s
part of the history! These very fairways were used as Royal Air Force runways
in World War II. And look on the bright
side, Bruno! The absence of trees means that your lucky little ball can
sail through the heather-scented air, right into the same cup that golfers have
been reaching into since the fifteenth century!
* look on the bright side: to consider
the positive aspects of a situation

Your life will improve in every way when you choose to always look on the
bright side.
