My husband, Lynn, wishes I would start golf again. I still have my clubs and shoes but its been ten years since my last game. My theory is...if you are not improving..give it up...it is not your forte'. BUT...he is an excellent golfer and a low handicap to prove it. Over the years we have discussed my riding in the golf cart with him while he plays.
The conversation is something like this....
"How did you play?"
"Not bad. Few good shots...... and then a bad one."
"Well..I need to ride with you, watch that beautiful swing of yours. You make golf look so effortless" (I like to blow a little smoke up his ass.)
This morning he was up at 4:30am for a 6:05am tee time with his friend and his friends wife. Just the three of them. At about 4:45am as he was pouring his coffee.... Stupid me said," I should have gone with you..if I had thought earlier and just ride along."
He got so excited..."WOW...THAT'S A GREAT IDEA...GET DRESSED ..I THOUGHT OF THAT LAST NIGHT BUT WAS AFRAID TO MENTION IT TO YOU. HURRY..GET UP..HOW FUN"
"No...no...its too early", I said, " and too late for me to get dressed...but next time look out..I am riding 18 holes with you guys."
I laid in bed thinking...I have to watch what I say to him because he walked out with the sad puppy eyes..
Then at 6:30am...RING.....RING...RING.. who in the Fuck is calling this early?..
"I have a great idea," he said....
"It better be at 6:30am."
"Meet us at the turn at 8:00am and you can ride with us for the last 9 holes.....OK?...Good idea..Right???"
"I will try....I will drag my ass out of bed...and if it looks like a.... go... then I will call you..."
I am glad I went... I held the flag while they putted...And I was there to remind Lynn when he missed his putt..
"THE HOLE IS OVER HERE."
But he loved that I was there and said..."How about next time you bring your wedge and putter and just play here and there?"....
"Its a go," I said... And I am actually looking forward to it....

I don't 'get' golf. I've never played but even an hour at the driving range puts me to sleep.... I'd rather be shopping!
