i golfed once, after my last day of h.s. i know what
you mean, though. where *we* were, you had to
retrieve your ball if it went into the water hazards,
which were stocked with underfed alligators and water
moccasins. the sand traps were arranged as
high-pillared dunes that housed hundreds of scorpions.
taking water onto the course was not permitted, of
course; we couldn't even carry a penknife. and the
rats - my lord, thousands: try knocking down that
30-foot put with a couple of rats crawling up your
leg, boyo. nothing to defend yourself with but those
precious clubs. learned that a 5-iron works just as
well as a putting wedge for crushing scorpions.
helluva fun day. 'gators succumb best to repeated
blows with a 3-wood.
honey, it's *golf* we're talking about here. :) i get
the same low-impact cardio this time of year from
gardening. pastime. leisure activity.
still missing cutting on his golf-playing uncle,

"for a small girl, liesel obviously carried far too
many clubs when she golfed; the weight she carried was
quite heavy proportionate to her own, but culminated
in her doggéd insistence that golf is a sport."
