I went and played golf for my last time Tuesday. Anything that is that
painful is not fun. Anything that I can't get a decent grasp on in three
months is not fun, either. For $20-$50 for three or four hours of golf, I
can go boating in my little guppy quite a few times. The lake is about
eight miles, and a 40 doesn't burn a lot of gas. Plus, I catch big rainbows
that sell for $6 a pound at the store. So, time to dust off the guppy, fix
the carpet, replace some wood, do some painting, get some hardware, another
anchor, a battery, and ....................

holy ****. I think it may be cheaper to keep golfing.

But unless you walk on water, fishing doesn't do much to keep the
weight and cholesterol down.

I was thinking the other day, while playing, that I'd probably never
get very good at the game. I've been playing for five years now, and
shoot in the 90's regularly. But, every so often I'll bang out a 108
just to keep my head from getting too big. It's frustrating. You know
you can hit the ball well, but the last shot went into the woods. It
gets very demoralizing.
