Why do people seem to assume that when someone retires that their days will be filled with golf, golf and more golf ?
I do not wish to offend any golfers that might read this but I never saw purpose to the game other then exercise.
One sets the ball on a tee, whacks it hundreds of yards, walks to where it landed and whacks it again. Gezz, thats alot of fun.
There are times that the ball lands in a sand trap and one has to whack the ball out of the trap. My God, if the people didn't put that sand where they did, the ball wouldn't have landed in it. Not real smart course layout if you ask me. And if you miss the sand traps, some goof put small water ponds right in the way you want your ball to go. Who in the hell hires these guys ?
I was once asked to complete a foursome with some guys from work during our companies yearly golf event. I saw no point in buying clubs or even renting them so I went to the children's toy store and bought a plastic set. It had everything I needed, a couple of clubs, a couple of balls. Hell I was good to go.
They got really upset with me when I brought my " boom box" with me on the golf cart. Sorry, I can't help it if I have a great love for music.
I could never understand why anyone would yell " fore" after they hit the ball. I got some strange looks when I yelled, "LooK Out" or In Comming" after I hit the ball.
I don't understand the people that design these courses.
The purpose of the game baffles me too. After you find your ball, instead of picking it up and heading off to the bar, you whack it again , then you " putt it" into a cup. Sometimes it takes several attempts to get it in the hole. You would think that someone would think to make the hole much larger. But no, no body that plays that game can think that far ahead.
So you walk or ride for most of the day, just to get to the clubhouse where they mostly get piss drunk to the point where they can't drive home. Since I wanted to win, it was important to me that I take as many stokes as I could so I would have more then everybody and win the trophy. But no they gave it some "cheat" for he
had very few stokes compared to me. As they were giving it to him, I stood up and yelled " cheater". They weren't too happy about that either.
Well I didn't enjoy my day of golf and I was really " pissed " that I got cheated out own my trophy.
And if that isn't bad enough, I was not asked back to play the following year. Bunch of sore losers.
so until I blog at you again,
take care of yourselves ,
and each other......templar
