Golf And Me

I participated in a charity golf outing this weekend for my friend Dave. We had a good group, but were definitely in the losers' bracket. I had never played anything other than some par 3 and miniput, so it was all new to me. After completing my first round of 18, I think I can sum up golf as "a good walk spoiled." However, beer and an electric car can definitely unspoil. That quote is from Mark Twain, which is Internet confirmed (as in not) here.

That page also has some other fun facts:

"Mark Twain was his User ID, Samuel Clemens [was] the name."

"The Golf responded to this harsh but truthful criticism with the invention of the golfing-car. A golfing-car is a little car you can follow your ball around in."

Brilliant. See you at the driving range.
