The Gnine Iron Gnome
Gnolan the Gnine Iron Gnome Gnolan the Gnine Iron Gnome has been playing golf for more than 50 years. The same round of golf. His handicap is that he’s never gotten his tee shot off the first tee. But Gnolan keeps at it because he’s an optimist who sees the tee as half empty. At least you never have to worry about him breaking a window. It’s been said that Gnolan took up golf not because he thought he would be good at it, but because he already had the tacky clothing. I mean, where else can you get away with green checkered shorts and a yellow shirt? And don’t even get me started on that hat. Gnolan also works part time as a mall Santa. In July. So yeah, he’s not very good at that either. But just look at that determination on his face.
