(Should be read with a Scottish accent) With my wife of 23 year's blessing, I steeled myself for a long round of gaming today. In this case, it was about 5 hours duration. After 12 years of COD and MOH, I tried a new-to-me game last year: "Grand Olde Laugh; Fuck!" (Golf). Last year, I was hooked after two rounds. I took lessons in April of this year and practiced, practiced, practiced, read book after book, and watched the pros every week. Today, in a charity tourney, I played me arse off, and acquitted meself proud! Ach! Our team hit par in a scramble competition, and I was 3rd in a long-drive contest, and my putts helped us make par in 5 crucial holes. I've managed to ruin a nice walk in the country-side with a game that involves hitting an innocent ball with an intimidating array of sticks with no apparent purpose. I'd be ashamed of such wanton frivolity if it weren't so freakin' fun!!!

 

Shockingly, no computers were involved. Discuss.

While I have always been of the opinion that if I had 5 hours to kill ripping the lips of unspuspecting trout, of all varieties, was preferred, I do admire a man who can have a grand old laugh; fuck!  So congratulations to you for your forebearance  - and if duc would fix the spell checker I could spell forebearance correctly - and for a round well played, even though it wasn't COD4 MW2 Ftag, I'm sure it was good fun, and I hope you kicked arse at the 19th hole.

A grand game!

 

You did a wise thing with lessons.

 

A word to the wise about practice.

 

If you loose concentration or become tired while practicing stop the practice immediately. Just like good practice can help, bad practice, where you lose focus, can do irreptable harm.

 

FYI, I once played to a 4 USGA handicap. Those days are long gone and I am on the shelf with probable rotator cuff injury. :no:unknw:

 

For me golf is out. :crybaby:
