I held out for as long as I could. I put other sports and games before it in an effort to stave it off. For years I mocked my dad because of it... Sadly this past weekend I gave in...
I have taken up golf.
Now you have to understand that throughout my life I have always regarded golf as an extremely silly game (It is NOT a sport, dammit!) played by silly old men. (and as of late, ever increasing numbers of silly young men) I never thought I would give in this early in my life but recent circumstances have put a club into my hand. (My dad gave me a set of clubs)
In all seriousness I have decided to take up golf because my dad and father in law, and uncles all love it and I figure that this would be a great way to spend time with them. And while I do feel that golf is very silly, I also find it extremely challenging and rather a bit fun.
So if any of you are golfers yourself I would appreciate any tips and advice on getting started in this silly game. Whether it's advice on equipment and courses or just ettiquete, I could use a little info about this gawf thang. Do I have to wear the funny hat with the pom pom on it? How many butt wiggles are legal before hitting the ball? Stuff like that. And if you're in So Cal I could use advice on where to go hit the silly little ball.
Sigh... I feel so dirty and ashamed.![Biggrin :D :D](/images/smilies/xbiggrin.gif)
