I'm a golfer!

Ok, so Steve's son (who lives in Japan) was here for two weeks. Right before he came here, he went golfing for the first time ever. Apparently, once you go golfing, you're a golfer. Seriously. He called and told me that golf clubs were being delivered to my house and when he got here he wanted to take me golfing, because he's a GOLFER now.
SOOOOO.....his golf clubs arrived at my house 3 days after he did. We went to Sports Authority and he bought golf shoes and a glove (just one....huh). He was down to his last 3 days before I finally relented and went golfing with him. (Of course, he went golfing several times without me and to the driving range several times also.)
WHAT A WORKOUT! I can't honestly say that I enjoyed it...except that we were so awful that it was hilarious! I can't remember the last time I laughed so much. After 9 holes, I was exhausted and SO ready to be finished (actually, I felt that way after the 4th hole, but we played 9 anyway!) Even with a golf cart, I registered 9,000 steps on my pedometer. Oh ya, did I mention that our tee time was at 1:00PM and it was over 100 degrees that day? Yep, come to find out, the afternoon tee times are cheaper than the morning ones. Who would have figured? The next day, my stomach, back, arms, thighs and a few muscles I didn't know existed were achingly sore.
I figure this counts as a workout, so if you're looking for something new to try to get some exercise, try carrying around a bag full of iron clubs and chasing a little white ball around a giant field in 100 degree weather. You could very possibly become just like me....a golfer!

So are those gold clubs I gave you taking up space in your garage instead of mine?

I mean, GOLF clubs...if they were gold, I would have kept them :-)

Yes. He was going to take them to Japan for his wife, then decided that we could store them for him.

I know I have you to thank for this!
