>>You don't know what you are missing. It is one of the few sports that you can play for the rest of your life (barring anything unforeseen like becoming a paraplegic). Even though I am scheduled for hip replacement surgery next month, I can still play golf. I ride a cart and hobble out when it is time to hit my ball.

>>It is a nice social game, you are outdoors in beautiful surroundings and you get about as much aerobic exercise as playing canasta :)

>>Take a couple of lessons. You would be amazed at how much better you can get.

>The truth is, I don't like golf (sorry). Other than the first time I get to take Katy to play mini-golf and then buy her ice cream, I'm just not into golf.

>Plus which, for some reason, every person I know who plays golf thinks I'm a jerk. Can't understand why :)
