Thanks for sharing...
If I am ever in the area I will look to see if they are still there.

The two games I dislike the most are two games of golf!

I like those little electric cars and the drinking part at the end.
The rest of it is sort of boring.

Had a summer job in New Orleans back in the late sixties-early seventies, between college semesters. N.O. Country Club. Worked the "Pop House" by the swimming pool, as well as carted drinks out to the refreshment stand on the golf course. Fun gig, that was! Cool way to spend the summer, and the best time I remember was working a party one night and had the privilege of taking the leftover Mai-Tai's and Fog-Cutters after the party. My bud and I, and our girlfriends (now wives, both!) went out to Mardi Gras Fountain on the lakefront and quaffed 'em.
The experiences on the golf course probably cured me, though, of any desire actually to play the game. Never have understood the attraction. But then, lots of folks don't get what we do, either!

I live on a street named "Golf Rd", I understand there is a public country club two or three blocks down the street. Probably is, there is a corner of a some kind of park across the street and I see folks whacking at something from time to time. I doubt they are weed whacking so they might be golfing.

I've never really seen the attraction in chasing a little white ball around a field with a stick myself......

I played a bit when I worked for Q-Lube a while back. There, it was an excuse to leave work early (sometimes the company president would join us) and walk around in the sun drinking beer. For some reason, I never got very good at the game, but did have some nice walks and drank some good beer.

It's something I did a LOT of in my youth. Teams in H.S. and college. Never got "good" at it, didn't have the temperament. May now be able to NOT get angry with myself and project it onto the ball, the clubs, ducks, trees et al. Not really inclined to find out, tho. I appreciate the skill involved, just can't justify the cash involved.
I'd rather masticate brass doorknobs.

I played a lot too Doc. As people became more and more a pain in the butt I played less and less. The final straw was being paired with two guys, one of which blamed every tiny mistake he made on something I did...around the same time the public courses were starting to demand we use carts, which I had no interest in using.

I`v played the game with co workers, No i`m no golf guru by any stretch of the imagination!
My friend Johnny comes dressed in 1920`s golf attire which in it`s self is hilarious. {he is no guru either}
"Shanked" Balls hit by "the serious ones" certainly gets the horse laugh out of Johnny and I *SMIILE*
My point is, I`v never laughed so hard in my entire life! Especially at the "serious" ones. {golfers}
It`s a wonder we keep getting invited to play.
P.S. I can certainly hit some very nice curve balls with very little effort :lol:

New Golf Terminology
1. A "James Joyce" - a putt that's an impossible read.
2. A "Rock Hudson" - it looked straight, but wasn't.
3. A "Saddam Hussein" - from one bunker into another.
4. A "Yasser Arafat" - butt ugly and in the sand.
5. A "John Kennedy Jr". - didn't make it over the water.
6. A "Rodney King" - over-clubbed.
7. An "O.J. Simpson" - got away with it.
8. A "Princess Grace" - should have used a driver.
9. A "Princess Di" - shouldn't have used a driver.
10. A "Paris Hilton" - a very expensive hole.
11. A "Rush Limbaugh" - a bit to the right.
12. A "Nancy Pelosi" - way too far to the left.
13. A "Barbra Streisand" - ugly but still working.
14. A "Teddy Kennedy" - goes in the water, but jumps out.

With these "new" eyes and a much less frenetic view of existence I could likely play well now... except the REST of the players have become what you describe, Scott.
And there's the cart thing, too... that just gets 'em movin' faster so's the course owner(s) generate more dollahs. feh. It never WAS a race to th' 19th hole for me.

There was this one guy that couldn't decide where he wanted <span style="font-style: italic">me</span> to stand. I really don't know what the actual etiquette is, but anyway I moved. He didn't like that spot either, so I moved behind him out of sight. That made him nervous. This routine went on for several minutes until I finally told him if the presence of someone within 30ft rattled him that much he should probably do himself a favor and go take up needlepoint - or something else he's more capable of doing.
It was 9th hole, so I told he and his buddy (who seemed about as interested in playing golf as they were in volunteering to clean a septic tank with a spoon - they were talking "business" the whole time) to go ahead and play through to the next hole and we'd wait because our time "paired up" ended right then and there.
I'm such a charmer.

The opposite end of the spectrum was a family-owned par-3 course. If it wasn't busy the owner didn't care if you took 2-3 balls at once. Relaxing, fun, nice place - even played in the snow occasionally.
