Who here gets up at six o'clock in the morning

to push a little white ball around. Only played the game of golf twice in my life.
My son loves the game but then again he's an attorney. My first time I really didn't know what I was doing, (no instruction) Shot an 82 for 18 holes....My friends said that was beginners luck and took me to another supposedly harder course where I shot an 80 for 18 holes....Still didn't know what I was doing...but it did seem to depress all my friends for quite some time who couldn't break 100. When I say I didn't know what I was doing, I really mean it!
My strategy was to use a 7 iron for most of the course, just because that seemed right....and when I putted I used a Driver (which I know you are not posed to do) but It made perfect sense to me to have as much club face as possible making contact with the ball, as I hit it in the little cup. I couldn't say it was much fun for me either. Hit the ball and then walk to find it...... over heavily sprayed pesticide grasslands, stopping every once in a while looking into small polluted watering holes, wondering if they ate your ball. Oh and then there's the desert...I think they are called sand traps....I figure If I want to walk through sand traps I'd go to Egypt, at least I could take in a view of the Pyramids. I did enjoy yelling FOUR, every time I hit the ball, which seemed to annoy a lot of people (What's wrong with these people, it's a game No?) And I thought the ball washing thingy was cool. My son wanted to get me a set of clubs but I told him to forget it, all I need is a driver and #7 club, the others are a waste of good money :eek: ....None of my friends want me to go play with them anymore anyway.... :o . One of my friends said the only reason I scored better than everyone was because of my hand/eye coordination skills from years of Martial Arts Training....hmmm could be...I don't know...oh they won't let me play tennis with them either...seems like no one can return my serve and basketball is out because they say I don't play fair and don't know the rules cause I always manage to steal the basketball by quickly hitting their hands that are bouncing the ball....what? isn't there a defanging the snake technique in basketball. And why would anyone want to sit in front of the TV and watch a Superbowl, I don't like hockey so I'm not gonna do it...Oh well...I guess I hate sports....I guess when you work-out as much as I do...when it comes to my free time the last thing I want to do is move around a lot! Meditation suits me just fine....nothing like contemplating your navel for excitement. So tell me why do you get up at six o'clock in the morning to push a little white ball around. Don't tell me you need to wash your balls either...you could do that at home :p ......Doc :D
