@exexec They say the worst day of golfing is still better than the best day at work, but I wouldn't know. I don't golf

@FoxyGoddess It's true. I can play awfully, but still have fun chasing that little ball around the countryside.

@FoxyGoddess I've never played the game, myself. 1. I'm not rich enough, and 2. It looks like a boring game to me.

@PhoenixPhail We play with used balls that cost about a dollar each and don't buy expensive clubs. It doesn't cost much to play on local public courses, so wealth is not needed. It is fun to be outdoors with a good friend. Sometimes we don't even keep score.

@PhoenixPhail I have a huge hate of golf, tbh. It is a huge waste of land, water, and other resources. There is no reason a city needs one, let alone 5.

And yes, it is also boring.

I heard it said that golf was the joke the Scottish played on the British that the British never got the punchline.

@exexec Now THAT I could go for - just being with friends and playing for the fun of the game. I need more things like that in my life. 😊

@PhoenixPhail Our local courses are almost like nature preserves with lots of wildlife. You are warned to look out for alligators and snakes, but we also see the occasional bald eagle and always see lots of birds.

@FoxyGoddess That could be true. I know it can be a very frustrating game for some. My dad said he gave up the game of golf; he couldn't get his clubs to float. 😂

@exexec That sounds wonderful. There's a course very close to my house which is encircled by a beautiful, 2.75-mile greenway. There are several bridges spanning a rather large and very lovely, winding creek. We have no alligators, but we do have snakes and some very handsome crane and deer.

@PhoenixPhail Nice. Our courses tend to use "gray water" to water their greens and fairways.
