Be the Ball, Nunanananana
I like golf! I have now golfed 12 holes this year, more than in the past ten years combined. Let me clarify and say I like to golf with people who don't really care that much about golf. Last week I came home from golfing and my husband asked about my score. My reply was, "What? You're supposed to keep score in golf?" This gives you a clue about my brand of golfing. I am absolutely horrid. I tend to slice off to the right a lot, and I've been known to throw the ball back into the fareway if I am sick of being in the rough or too close to a tree. I four or five-putt every green (I two-putted once!), and I managed to lose five balls in eight holes yesterday, so start buying stock in golf balls because demand is about to rise if I keep playing. But I am having fun, and I have my own cart chauffer - my sister Sahm, who will not golf (weenie) but will come out and drive me around and then eat dinner and gab with the ladies afterwards. Good times. I wonder how the dynamics will change when I try golfing with my spouse or other (male) family members who actually take the game seriously and can hit the ball further than 100 yards or less...

You can golf w/ me. I've been fairly tame/carefree these last few years.
I thought it was a grand time had by all. The few shots you had the went sideways instead of forward were just a small hitch but as long as you can laugh along with the rest of us (laughing at you) that is all that matters! And future advice - don't bother golfing with your husband until you are able to keep up with him. It just frustates the men folk...stick with the girls. Although I do get pissy myself but that was unrelated to the golf!!!
Oohh girl!
by the way...is your title a shout out to Caddy Shack?
I have tried to run the numbers in my head, and although I do admit to not being a mathematician...in what alternate golf world do you golf 12 holes...don't you have to golf some multiple of '9' holes????
12 holes total...meaning she has been out more than once but failed to golf an entire round. Usually her driver has to pee! Or they get hungry ...or they are hungry and have to pee. She is working herself up to a full round.
You better get your stamina up. Because someday we have to go golf 36 holes like the boys do. I am countin' on ya!
Yes, Caddyshack nod was well-recognized, Lisa. And Greg, I would be happy to golf with you. Lisa has it right - golfed twice: four holes the first time, eight holes the second time. And you do not have to golf nine holes if you have a cart and just decide to drive to the clubhouse to pee and eat. 36 holes of golf would take me about nine years at the rate I golf right now.
Laughing on the golf course helps a lot, especially if you can laugh at yourself AND those with whom you are golfing.
