Why did I wait so long to write a golf entry? When that's all I do according to some.
Actually I do a lot of other stuff, mostly relating to church (gosh, I'm even playing golf today with our pastor in about two hours)or Bible Study Fellowship. But I don't miss too many chances to tee it up.
As far as ability, I'm a hacker some days shooting in the 90's and other days I can fire a good round. My scores this week have been a pair of 80's with a 37 on the back nine yesterday. But today we move acoss the county to play at a place called Sundance in Buckeye, AZ. Buckeye is a place you wouldn't want to live in AZ. There's nothing there. Except building. Houses are cheap and so people are filling up bergs like Buckeye, Apache Junction, Peoria, Avondale, Chandler, and other places not in hurricane, earthquake, tornado, rust type areas. That's where I'll be today hoping to break 90 on a long course with moderate desert that comes into play.
I've played golf with some of the greatest people I've ever known, and I've played golf with some bad guys, too. I've played in Canada, England, Spain--where I told a guy who was trying to hit my ball, "Este es mio."--poorly translated >this is mine,<. Who knows what I said; it certainly wasn't idiomatic. Also, in Mexico and Hawaii. Tons of golf at Indian Hills and Green Hills in Mt. Vernon. And about 65 different courses in Arizona. Still, the best greens I've ever played on were at Green Hills.
If you're not a golfer, you will be. So just plan on getting out to the golf course next spring or even this fall when weather permits. It's a game that will grab you. For life.
