Golfing is Fun and Stinks

Kudos to Greg for actually guessing the Billy Joel song. I was thinking Modern Woman from The Bridge but Vienna also works, too. And you get a giant pat on the back as a prize. Get Katie to give you that.

So, I went golfing yesterday for the first time in, like, 200 years. A big thanks to Katie for watching my kids. Went with a couple of other guys to Fox Prairie in Noblesville. It was warm, sunny, and very windy. And I stunk. It was great! It's amazing how quickly nuances of the game get away from you after the few years hiatus. Not that I had down many golfing nuances before anyway. I seriously lost count of how many golf balls I lost; it was more than 10, I think.

It was a great time. But golf is only a game, not a sport for us normal folk. I'm sure professionals or semi professionals can consider it a sport; many of them actually train and work out and such in order to get better. But for 99% of us, golf is a game just like horseshoes, Texas Hold-em, or Literati. If you can successfully play something while downing a 6-pack, that should officially exclude it from sports-status. Actually, drinking would probably help my golf game. I lose most of my strokes on the green.

It looks like a day of rain. My grand plans of outside work have been cancelled for the day. And now I've blogged. What to do, what to do...

What to do? Well, I'll send Noah right over. he is bursting at the eams with boredom, so I am sure the two of you can do something together.

I offered to take he and Seth to lunch with Mrs. Byers, but got no respect with that idea. I gotta come up with something else.

Is there brew involved if I watch him? Does he know how to use a bottle opener?
