What Do You Expect?

Last month I played in a match play event that pitted me against a 7 handicap.  Ok, she had to give me 13 strokes.  One would think one could do something with that.  Well, one can always hope.  I lost 3/2.  I came home and my husband asked me how I played.  Not well I said.  He looked at me and cautiously said, now don't get mad at me for saying this but what did you expect?  You don't practice, you haven't played as much as you normally do and you don't take lessons.  I did not hit him with my putter.  I hate it when he is right...

You Know You Need a Personality Bi-Pass Operation When....

I love group dynamics.  With our women's golf association,  we've played with each other for so long.  We all know each others idiosyncrasies.  She talks too much, she's a bad driver, she's slow, she wears too much perfume, to cheating on scoring or posting wrong scores on purpose.
