In my youth, more than 55 years ago, I took up golf. For 20 years, I tried diligently to learn the game; lessons, practice ranges, the whole bit. For two decades, all I accomplished was losing golf balls, catching poison ivy, and killing the occasional snake. One day, I got so disgusted with myself, I tossed my bag, clubs and all, into the lake and took up 10-pin bowling. And I can truthfully swear that I have never lost my ball, never caught poison ivy, and never found a snake in a bowling alley. And there’s one more bonus; in bowling, the high score wins!
Golf is a game of highly tuned muscle groups throughout the body working in tandem to deliver the golf club to the golf ball in the exact way that you intend! needless to say that is a daunting task! After many years of slogging through frustration I finally understood the mechanics of the golf swing and was able to hit the ball at the target at the right distance.It made the game very enjoyable, the first time I broke par I treated my golfing partners to all the drinks they wanted at the 19th hole!

It’s easy to social distance on a golf course when your ball never lands in the fairway. Trust me, I know

Some would argue that golf is not insignificant. Not me personally, I have never gotten the whole golf thing, maybe after I retire.

Insignificant? Anybody that thinks losing a golf ball in the water is insignificant, shouldn’t be allowed on the course.

I’m never going to get into golf myself; but I guess there really are worse ways to spend time. At least golfers are getting outdoors right now.

Ah, to rage insignificantly again…

Golf is for people with too much time and money to burn.

Whatever takes your mind off the big problems in the world for a while, I say, go for it.
Good evening, Crew!

No wonder golf is a four-letter word, huh?
I’ve played all my life, so I should know … It’s fun on the good days, though.
’Evening, Crew.
