I forget who said it but entirely agree with the sentiment that golf is
a good walk, spoiled.
Among others (I'm sure), the quote has been attributed to Mark Twain.
The last time I played golf was some 15 or 16 years ago. It was a
little 9 hole course, and by the third hole I had lost a couple of
balls, hooked, sliced or otherwise shanked pretty much every shot and
was (as we say in hockey-crazed Canada) "stickhandling up the
fairway."
The other three in our foursome were quite good golfers, so in
addition to my personal frustration, I felt bad because I was
obviously slowing up their game, even though they were too nice to
comment on it.
So, after 2 and 1/2 holes I pocketed my ball, and went for a nice walk
with my friends. It was glorious.
I haven't golfed since.
cheers,
frank
I already had a lot of respect for you, Frank, but just gained a lot more!

Many of the world's problems come from man's abysmal ignorance of that simple
