Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler golf thread

When I lived more in the Southern part of the state golfing was all year round twice a week, I used to carry a six handicap, I've played once in 5 years since my early retirement and the birth of my sons, I'm sure I wouldn't break 100 now. The good news is my boys are at the ages (3 and 5)that they are ready to start playing, this summer I'll start getting them on the driving range

How about Amie sponsoring a round in Huntsville for the Axiom Owners Club members?

I've committed golf. It is usually more akin to a very long round of croquet. I've not played well enough to enjoy it in many years.

Love it, though. Golf is a game, not a sport. Any activity where you can drink beer and/or smoke a cigar during the competitive portion does not qualify as a sport. Bowling is a game, too.

Ray, warmest congratulations on your impending retirement. I can ponder few more enjoyable days than having you patiently indulge my companionship on the links. Someday, my friend.

Tom - maybe we can meet halfway - Kansas???

Golf offers more than just being a game/sport. Once I got to the point of realizing I was never going to be good enough at it to warrant getting upset or frustrated, it became much more enjoyable.

There are 4 pieces that I look at with golf:
1) It allows me to be competitive (with myself and the golf course and the occsional friendly wager)
2) I get to spend 4 hours with friends
3) The enjoyment of beautiful surroundings
4) The act of playing the game.

Since the golfball is on the face of the club for less than a total of 30 seconds during a full round, enjoyment of all of the other pieces keeps everything in a nice perspective.

5) I don't think about selling the wife for a while.

6) I've convinced my regular foursome to buy MX-850s.

We kid because we love!

7) Did I say four things?
