Unfortunately, I was playing golf not sailing... new set of clubs, so I had
to get out there and try them. Ended up tacking up just about every fairway.
Sigh....

Did you go aground when you went into the shallows?

No, but the rough was, well, rough. I had a fair lead at first, but then it
was the doldrums for the rest of the afternoon.

Jon,

I know your fustration. That game (Hah) beat me. I was playing with my
regular foursome and had just finished the 8th hole with a double bogey
and was 3 over par and still on the 9th hole. Finished 3 over for that
hole.

I excused myself after nine, came home and put those damn Clubs in the
Garage and never swung another Club to this Day. The game beat me! That
was some thirty years ago.

I missed the fellowship but never once have I missed the game.

So, good luck with you new "Golf Bats"

That's about par for the course...

right! (smile)

Hear, hear. I have a very hard time appreciating the charm of a game that
consists of hitting a ball and chasing it.

My Dad took me golfing once...said that if I could ever get the ball to
go straight that I'd be great...I thought it was the most boring
afternoon I ever spent...if I want a "do nothing" sport, I prefer to
just sit in the dinghy with my fishing pole hoping nothing will bite...

If that's what you think golf is about, you've never really played. It's
about precision, timing, and the illusiory perfection most people seek. It's
also about friendship and challenge.

at all....

On the contrary. I played many times as a kid. Both my parents and
grandparents were golfers.


You should ask them. g I played in jr high, high, college, but then gave
it up for years. I started up again a couple of years ago. It's mostly nice
walking the course and talking with friends.

Did she learn to be an alcoholic from her mother?

Neal.

She probably doesn't have to buy her own beer as you do.

Even in a dress and a WIG (G) you wouldn't rate a beer. Ugly is as ugly
does!
