YES, LOUIS -- You win the bubble gum this morning - IT"S GOLF!!!! I can still visualize the day that I walked over to the 55 gallon trash barrel on the golf course in Albuquerque and deposited my entire bag of clubs - then threw my shoes in on top! I have not picked up a club from that day except for an occasional Minature Golf game with the kids, or Gkids.
We have members in our Bunco Club who LIVE by the game and play, I kid you not, everyday that it does not rain!
I probably could have done better if I had really, really tried, but I had rather spend my time "building" something than chasing a little white ball which was hard to find much of the time. I could hit the ball either 100 yards or 10 yards ... take your pick ... I never knew which one it would be. I subscribe to the theory professed by my father that only guys with little bitty balls play golf.
Tell that to the polar bears.A thirty year period is virtually nothing to a planet that is billions of years old .
Enough already .

Sam Snead! Well that is one way to meet him. What did he say after you hit him? Did you get an autograph?I essentially quit golf the day I beaned Sam Sneade.
The following week, I got a new driver, and took it to a local pier to practice my driving, so I didn't brain any other golfers. I took a bucket of balls, hit about 6 of them, then listened to a companion that told me I was gripping the club too hard, and to loosen my grip. I did so, and the next shot, the club went further out into the water than the ball.
I haven't played golf since.
Why? It's neither religious nor political (and people don't seem to have a problem bringing those subjects up, from time to time). At least, it shouldn't be. And I'm not asking anyone to interpret the numbers, just to look at them.My point is I do not wish to persuade you to change your thinking. Instead, I believe the topic should be dropped in this forum.
LOUIS -- Every now and then I did break 100 (on either the 1st or maybe the 2nd NINE!
We may meet and shake hands, hug, punch each other, or have a shot of Maker's Mark; but... WE Will Never Play Golf!
Terry -- that was a good story!
If I want to take a nap in front of the TV -- just put it on a golf game. I have a hard time fathoming why people follow golfers around a golf course, "Oh look! He hit the ball really far! Now let's follow him another 1/4 mile so we can see him hit it again".
There's been a lot of sports talk lately. Sports bores my socks off. That's no reason for me to tell the folks who enjoy sports "enough."Because I like everybody here and don’t want to see my friends arguing .
Uh huh. How much did she appreciate God's handiwork when she told you to do something, and it went in one ear and out the other?Don't worry Garry, nobody is arguing.
My Nanny use to tell me "That's why God gave you two ears, what you don't want to hear goes in one and out the other"
