To the Moon

Golf is an interesting game. I know that sometimes women don't see eye to eye regarding golf, when in fact they are on to us men. See most men play for the ability to leave the real world of work, family, kids, wives, bills, broken windshield wipers for at least 2 hours and if you are playing 18 that is in all day affair.

Golf can be addicting, most say it only takes that one good shot per round to bring you back and if you can manage 2 or 3, well then your on to something.

Here is what I like about golf, I get to spend that time with people I like. I am very picky about who I play with. I love the time I get to spend with my Dad playing golf. He whips my ass every time but I don't mind because I always come away smiling and never regretting that time. I like to play golf with my buddy Perry, we don't play enough and always say so after coming off the last tee.

Last week I bought Jen a set of clubs, used of course, just to see if she might have an interest and if she might be any good. I got the whole set for under $65 bucks but they were a good set of clubs for her. Dominic got clubs from Grandpa chucks house that he had bought for my nephew Colin, but Colin lost interest, so I got them for Dominic.

On Monday we all went out to the driving range, Jen tee'd up her ball, grabbed her driver and proceeded to hit shot after shot about 200 yards (which I think might be farther than my dad). There were some ugly ones but more good ones than ugly, she might think different but I was watching her. I try to stay away from helping her, just so I can save my marriage but she is really good at letting me know when she needs some help and I am trying to be really good at knowing when to stop helping.

Dominic did well too, the clubs are a little long but he likes the driver (just like his dad). Tommy got to hit also and was surprise how well he did, for a 5 year old anyway (not to high of expectations).

I have hopes that we will become a golfing family, where else can you walk through some of the most beautiful countryside with people you love? And unlike camping I get to go home to my bed and bathroom versus a tent and spiders.

There is no way that Jen could hit a golf ball further than your Dad! Did she really? that would make him a whoasssssss!
