Tee'd Off

I decided to explore what the big deal is with golf. People that golf absolutely love it and I've never once gone in my life, so I thought I would see what all the fuss was about and I think... I figured it out. Did you know that you can drink out there? On the golf course? That's why people say it's such a stress reliever! They go out there in mid afternoon and spend the day drinking beers. Away from the nagging wives, lawns that need to be mowed, and cars that need to be fixed. I get it now! Also, there's cool golf carts you get to drive around. I drove Dan's around yesterday and it was SUPER fun. It's like driving one of those bumper cars around when you were little. Nothing but a brake and gas peddle. No lines on the road or boundaries to adhere to. Freedom. Like when we were kids in our bumper cars. You can go wherever you want and you don't even have to worry about other traffic or anything. So, I have discovered why people like golfing so much. But, as far as hitting that little ball into a hole that you can't even see... well I've yet to figure out why that's so much fun! I mean, Danny hits the ball and I can't even see where it goes. Good thing he knew what he was doing or we would have been driving around looking for a ball the whole afternoon cause I had no clue where it went every time he hit it. However, Danny set me up to tee off. Did you also know that they have handicaps for girls!?! Girls get to hit the ball from closer to the hole cause apparently they can't hit it as far. Whatever! He tried to get me to tee off from that area but I refused to accept defeat in the face of victory! Ok, not that crazy but I tee'd off from where he was anyways. I was HORRIBLE, but you wouldn't have known it cause he was so encouraging. I think it's because he saw how bad I was so just simply hitting the ball a little bit was a feat all in itself. I completed a par 4 hole in around 20 strokes. So, I didn't subject Danny to wait for me to hit every hole when he's hitting (I just learned this yesterday) Birdies. He's super good. Even the people in the country club were telling me how good he is so I felt it my duty to show him how BAD people can be as well. Thank you for taking such an amateur, Danny! I had a blast!
