It was the hitting them out part that hurt - especially on the second or third hit!

I was having problems with my golf GPS today. It took a long time to acquire satellites and gave me
some screwy distances, at first. Then it straightened out - got five satellites, but started forcing
my balls into sand traps. Eight traps later I finally finished the 18 holes - with a 92.

Damn solar flares!

It gets worse. Eventually the solar flares will also cause you to
grow older to the point where you will be shooting your age assuming
you can maintain your game. Shooting your age is a good thing at
72, not so much at 92. :-)

Speaking of which, I ventured onto a driving range recently with one
of my neighbors, once again reminding me of why I prefer boating.

Actually, I'd like to be able to shoot my age at *any* age. Hitting a 92 when I'm 92 would be a hell
of an accomplishment!
