The early morning fog kept the visibility to under a quarter mile. The temperature was very mild and lo and behold, no wind. After walking the dogs it was a no brainer to hop on the bike for a quickie.
I stopped for a snack and drink at the public golf course in Rochester, MA. This is the place that on the fifth hole, a par five, where I packed up my clubs, walked off the course and never returned. That was six years ago and I was one over par at the time. One guy looked at my bike and commented,
"Where do you keep your clubs?"
"In my attic" I replied
Last summer I went to the driving range to try a bucket of balls. I hit a little more than half of them and left. Golf is completely out of my system now. As a matter of fact, one of the regrets of my life is the time I spent on golf courses over the years.
I enjoy golf, but I haven't been out more than once each year for the past three years. Biking displaced it. If I get the chance, I'll play, but I'd rather ride.
ReplyDeleteDitto what the Noob says. For a sporting activity that consumes a lot of time, I'd rather be cycling.
ReplyDeleteI barely knew my dad because he golfed every free moment. I was glad when we moved to a place with a tough winter. That ensured he spent some time with us for at least a portion of the year.
ReplyDeleteGood laugh at the "one of the regrets" comment. 5 hours. Which would you rather do? golf or ride? easy decision for me at least, but I'm a terrible golfer.
