05.07.08 (10:25 am)   [edit]

I had my first golf lesson yesterday, and I didn't touch a club! We just went over etiquette, clubs, and stuff about golf courses.

I am already experiencing that urge to throw myself into the sport, which really only means shopping for it. But I won't. I hope I like it. I hope I get some practice, too.

Mr. Nick gave me an Aerogarden for my birthday, and we finally set it up a couple of weeks ago. My herbs are sprouting. It's quite amazing. In a few months, I'll be able to harvest them and have fresh herbs whenever I want! Yahoo!

The old saying..that GOLF meant Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden...must have been because it was so much fun, they didn't want to share the course with women!! They were afraid they would like it so much...they wouldn't be able to get their T times!!! Get em Girl!!!!!

I wonder if good hand-eye coordination is required for golf?

I used to think that's what golf meant, too until I read that read the word golf is derived from some old Scottish word that means club :D

Thanks!
He does, but I would be too intimidated to be playing with him right now!

Good luck ~ I never had the patience for golf, but many people love the game. Hope you enjoy your time.

I think you will love it, I use to play when I was a lady of leisure.

I hope I like it too! I just know that if I don't see myself improve in a short amount of time, I will probably lose interest!

I tried golfing once. It was horrible! I have terrible hand-eye coordination. Fortunately I was just at the driving range so it wasn't TOO embarrassing! I did make quite a few people laugh though. I suspect you'll do really well. Most people find it relaxing and enjoyable. :)

I went to the golfing range once and I was horrible! But nobody told me what to do. I hated missing the ball! Do you think you'd give golf another try??

Wow, golfing in Morocco sounds so exotic!

I probably would try it again...as long as I trusted whoever I was with not to lose patience with me. It looks like such a fun game if you can actually hit the ball! :p

Hitting the ball can be hard...getting it to go where you want is even harder! I'm glad I am taking lessons. I highly recommend them if you do decide to try golf again :-D

I'm sure you will get the hang of it if you concentrate. The only experience I have is miniature golf, so don't look to me for help!

Do you play pool? Golf is like a bigger version of pool! I was never very good a mini golf, but now with my most excellent putting skills, who knows??

I've played pool, but not often. I think you have more control in pool, and you don't have to worry about wind and water hazards!

I think one of the greatest distractions in pool is when someone else nearby bends over to take their shot!

hmmm ~ your observation of 'distractions' in pool is right on! ;)

I'm sure you take full advantage of that!
