happythoughts 0 #51 February 25, 2003 Quote Quote My boss, a year later, very serious and practically shouting: Well you can see can't you that your skydiving causes a lot of raised eyebrows!! You should take up golf!! I suppose responding "Golf is for pussies." would have gotten you fired? I don't think of sport in those terms, but I don't understand golf. You hit the ball, you go chase it... I mean, you HAD the ball. Now you have to go after it and the process repeats. It's like throwing a stick for your dog and he doesn't chase it, so you go pick up the stick and throw it again. How much fun is that? Everyone would think your dog had you trained. Of course, that is a prerequisite to dog training, being smarter than the dog. So anyway, you have this little white ball, and you hit it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #53 February 25, 2003 Actually, I play and enjoy golf myself. I was just thinking in terms of a snappy comeback. I enjoy golf because of the challenge. It's something that's impossible to perfect... you can always refine some skill. And it's multi-faceted. You have driving skills, fairway play skills, approach shots, short game, putting and course strategy. Plus, when you think that you can get an itty-bitty ball into a 4 inch cup from 400 yards out in 4 strokes or less, that's kind of cool. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris That is interesting too. Golf isn't that physical really. Ninety year old guys can get out there and ride around in a cart and not break a sweat. So they've taken that to a new level by making it into a video game. Taking the physical exertion out of golf. Of course, then there is fishing and its next level - The Fishing Channel. In case sitting still outside is too much stress, you can watch someone else do it. Maybe it's the mental challenge.

happythoughts 0 #56 February 25, 2003 Me too. I like golf, but my clubs have sat in the closet next to my scuba gear. Good weather days for golf are the same as scuba and skydiving. I still get out sometimes. My roommate is a sub-par golfer who tolerates me. We drive around in the cart and drink and whack the balls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
