Any time my score is over 80 I cry.

The only time I ever played golf was on a local 9 hole, par 3 course. First stroke took me to about 18" from the hole and then it took about 29 more to get the damn thing IN the hole. As I say, first and LAST time.  |

Stick with it and you will develop a gra for it.

Why anyone wants to use a bent stick to push tiny balls into small holes in a field, I've no idea.
But then, there's no accounting for taste! |

Little darlings! One can only hope they get their come-upance, boils on their bottoms might be a good start. 
My interest in golf begins and ends with Augusta. Even if the golf is uninspiring the course is stunning. |

All in the name of sport, a hobby, an interest, a social outlet, networking, a bit of exercise or a bit of competition. Call it what you will. You have your interests and I have mine. Each to their own. It's what makes us well rounded and individual. If you haven't tried it don't knock it. I was the same as you up until 2007 when I started playing. I thought it was a stupid game and I couldn't have been more disinterested in it. But I was literally dragged to a course one day and was instantly hooked. Having always been sporty and played many games for many years there comes a time when the body just cannot do most of them anymore. If you have a competitive edge then you need to do something, golf is indeed sedentary but at the same time fiercely competitive. Suits me.

I know its over and done with but went into Tesco today and they are selling all Halloween stuff at next to nothing. Children's outfits €4.50 (£3.1 even masks 11cents (7p) Just shows you what profit they make.
Our daughter in UK went on Sunday and 1 woman had a loaded and overflowing trolley all ready for next year. |

Most likely sold at a loss but it is cheaper than storing them for a year.
