    I have played... but...

    Every time I would get in a fight with my wife, she would always twist around an bring up how often I play (about once a month) and how much I spend (around $35 each time I play).

    So I have stopped playing golf. Isn't marriage great?

    Marriage = give up on all your youth, happiness, dreams, inspiration, ambitions, fun, relaxation and happiness... Embrace monotony, unimportance and mediocrity.

    having kids = see definition of marriage and mulitply x 2 x no. of kids.

    Golf is so frustrating, yet, so fulfilling.

    As long as you believe in beer and mulligans, its impossible not to enjoy.

    When my wife starts in on that, I drop the Lord and Taylor credit card statement on her.

    I tell her we should find out how much money we have made in her doing Pampered Chef and Tupperware and all that other crap where we spend more money than we make.

    Words to live by.

    My subdivision just openned up a new front 9 which I will be playing this weekend. I moved in (Stonegate) not too long ago and haven't had chance to play the original 18 yet, but I'm sure I'll get around to it (plenty of times).

    What a coincidence. I live in Stonegate too. :)

    I haven't played Houston National yet. Its a links style course and with the houses being so close, I have a lil scared to play (I depend on big trees to keep my shots in play). I have several free passes though that I intend to use. They have been working on the course and its looking alot better than it did when I first moved in 3 years ago.

    I have two holes just behind me. I get golf balls in my yard from time to time.

    Cool.
    I think the #1 on the new 9 is right at the entrance to my section. I've been pretty impressed with the improvements they've made recently.

    Did you see the nice sign they built over on Queenston right after you get into the neighborhood?

    For some reason, I enjoy playing golf (although it has been awhile) but I cannot stand to watch it.

    Yeah, I was pretty pleased with that. All the trees they put up around the clubhouse seem to be hurting though. They better water them unless they plan on waiting for some rain.

    I just recently started playing golf. I love it. I stink at it, and don't play it too often because of the cost involved, but it's more fun than I imagined it would be.

    Just because you're not good at something doesn't mean it's not a sport.

    Which one of these definitions of sport does golf not fall into?

    1a. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
    b. A particular form of this activity.
    2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
    3. An active pastime; recreation.

    It is a physical sport that has rules and is played competitively. It does involve physical exertion and skill. It is also an active pastime and it's very recreational.

    This must be your idea of physical exertion. What a joke.
