Well at least it’s not raining but it sure is chilly today.  My retired groom was up early and pretty eager to hit the links this morning.  How he enters the house, when he’s done, gives me a pretty good idea of how his game was without even knowing his score.  I wish we could golf together but I don’t find much fun or relaxation playing when people hit into you or think you are playing too slow even though there are 2 foursomes ahead slowing us down.  I don’t think people believe in golfing for relaxation.  It’s just another thing on their to-do-list and  play like the faster they get it done the better.

I was in a 9 hole golf league about 6 years ago.  Your day was either off to a good start or became a drag depending on who you got in your foresome.  Being the scorekeeper for the league you heard it all.  I wish women would just come right out and say they don’t want to play with certain golfers.   Golfers who were in their late 70s and very slow but could kill the ball once they got up to it. Or girls who couldn’t stop talking, wanting advise about what club to use or what dry cleaners was the best in the area.  Or golfers like me who had a 32 handicap.  They would say this is a friendly game for all.  Well just get in a group with someone who has a 2 handicap or has a tight 3 hour window to play and the tension is unreal.  I think I could relax more driving my Miata at Nascar then with women who think they are Arnold Palmer in a skirt.

I think the most fun day of golf was when all the women were talking about the guy who was laying in the high grass, in a suit and tie, just watching us. Little did I know until I wlikeas walking off the green and heading to the last hole of the day that the head of white hair popping up over the high grass was none other than…. you guessed it… My Retired Groom although at the time he was still working.  He said he just couldn’t believe I was actually golfing in a league, so he had one of the rangers drive him around and hide where I couldn’t see him.  I’m sure the next week many of the league members requested not to golf with me when they found out I had a stalker.  Little did these women know that this stalker has been following me all my life.  You know the old saying, “He chased me till I caught Him!  I’m pretty lucky I’d say since we’re married and he’s still stalking me.
