I love the concept of golf and have had lessons. I actually even whacked the ball pretty good a few times and felt good about myself. I am not destined to do much more of it because it either hurts my shoulder and now my stupid thumb is sporting arthritis and behaves like it belongs to someone 90 years old. Anderson should try "riding shotgun" in a golf cart with another golfer and enjoying other things about the greenway. Like the gin and tonics I pick up at the club house bar that make me oh so happy while I watch hubby swing his clubs and gripe about his game. There are many benefits to golf! I am a very good watcher. And I help fetch stray golf balls that have wandered into the tall grass...Cindy Keen Reyndershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538914807361602296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-54537626420937478452013-03-28T09:46:33.926-04:002013-03-28T09:46:33.926-04:00Ha Ha!

My hubby used to play a little and the first time he took me with him I learned a good lesson. Just because I see balls laying around doesn't mean I should pick them up especially if they are on the green. Now, I didn't understand that lingo and said, look around you, everything is green. :) Gossip_Grlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603645371306284338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-85878501944137549682013-03-27T22:10:16.993-04:002013-03-27T22:10:16.993-04:00Well, I never knew!

He enjoys it, he is out in fresh air, spending time with friends or family. I tried it, but stink so I occasionally just ride along in the cart for grins. It is actually very peaceful.<br /><br />:)CLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207164054349835246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-49930944772531386892013-03-27T20:24:58.426-04:002013-03-27T20:24:58.426-04:00Joe, your satire is always good, and I usually get...Joe, your satire is always good, and I usually get it.<br /><br />And I don't play golf, but I do enjoy watching it and I think those pros are amazing.Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398370059689865989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-38088806942709031992013-03-27T18:59:27.213-04:002013-03-27T18:59:27.213-04:00Obviously Mr. Cooper has never played the game.

I can only imagine how awful I'd be at regular golf where I have to hit the ball miles away in the hopes that it gets slightly near the hole that it's supposed to be in (instead of just in the hole of a windmill that's two feet away from me.) <br /><br />And yeah, those words coming from someone who doesn't want criticism for HIS preferences, he sure can throw out the digs towards others' choices. Ugh.

His family are big on golf and when we get together they all go off and play a few rounds. One day I will join in I guess but only if I get good at the club and ball thing.
