Interpretation
A wry, businesslike joke built on golf’s scoring milestones. “Breaking 100” marks a beginner-to-intermediate threshold; if you’re only just getting competent, you should “watch your golf” (focus on improving). But “breaking 80” signals a highly skilled amateur level that typically demands serious time, practice, and mental bandwidth. The punchline implies that if you’re playing that well, you may be neglecting your work—so “watch your business.” The quote satirizes the trade-off between leisure mastery and professional responsibility, using golf as a culturally familiar proxy for time-consuming status pursuits.
