Golf!

I've tried. When I was in college I took it for a semester (two semesters of Phys Ed were required then...) My mother, who was an excellent golfer -- convinced me that I needed a sport that I could play when I "got old." I hated it. I could hit the ball to hell's half acre but I had no control where it went. I tired of excusing myself to the tennis player while retrieving my errant ball.

Some years later the company I was working for had only ONE employee event and that was a golf outing. Written into the rules was MEN ONLY. Four of us got together and successfully challenged the rule. We took private lesson. For the first time in the history of the Golf Outing -- it rained. No...it poured! All 18 holes. I was miserable. I hated it. I came in last and didn't even care!

We live on the edge of a county (cheap!) golf course. It is a nice place to walk in the winter time.
