Thought it would interesting to find out if anyone of you here plays Golf? ;)
-
Don't think I've ever heard it mentioned on here Mollie.
-
Not me Mollie....I always recall a definition of golf being "A long walk.......spoiled"
-
Not unless it involves hitting through a little windmill. ;)
-
:DD :DD :DD That's my only experience of golf too Cos.
-
I played golf once when I was 9. That was more than enough for a lifetime.
Oh, I also played Lee Trevino Golf on Nintendo

Hi Mollie,
I tried it for a while, I even had lessons. One day I was great at it, the next day I was rubbish. I found it the most infuriating game I have ever played. My brain could not except that practising more did not guarantee a better game.
I gave up after several (agonising) months.

I played in my 20's and 30's, but not since moving to Europe. Other things to do I guess...
-
I've played a few rounds as an invited guest to make up the number when asked, however as I have no skill and get no thrill they've stopped asking - which suits me. :D
You"'ve not said if you play yourself Mollie?
-
Gave it up for bowling which I find frustrating
enough. I do like to watch the Majors on Sat
and Sunday

Hahaha :D :D :D you are absolutely insane. Hahaha.

I feel like the most common misconception which a lot of people have about golf is that it's a game for the rich. This isn't necessarily true. I am at beginner's level, however, i really do enjoy playing golf because you referee yourself. Plus, Golf gives you good attributes like being truthful because you are required to be honest with yourself to accurately note your score. I would say if you can plan a budget. Golf is worth trying out.

I'd need a golf buggy Mollie, my legs wouldn't get me to the 1st hole, either that or I'd have to play the 19th hole. :DD
-
Rather bike. Compete with myself and see the sights. I'll golf when I can't bike anymore. ;) ;)
-
I'd rather bike too Scott, really miss my cycling. :'(
-
I can imagine Ian...it's like having your wings clipped.
-
I can sympathize, too. My rides are far more leisurely than Scott's but I really enjoy them.

I do not play golf. Largely because I'm the only person I know who can put a ball, make it miss the hole 6 inches away that I was aiming for and land 3 holes further along in minigolf.
If I played golf, the one record I'd have a hope of challenging is the one for the longest drive ever. Some hapless player teed off at the first hole and their ball soared over the boundary, landed in a vegetable van, and reached the ground only when the van was emptied in London 42 miles later. (It is believed the golfer opted to play a second ball rather than wait for the return of the first).
I do, however, do several other sports. I swam in disability competitions for 20 years, and nowadays I mix social swimming with slow running (I recently celebrated my first sub-12-minute mile... ...in a race where I finished 300 metres behind a man 40 years my senior) and the occasional dragon boat race and karting practise.

I love to ask...it is way better to ask than just making an assumption. If i may ask...i familiar with slow swimming but what exactly is social swimming?

Swimming to build friendships and meet new people, rather than as a competitive endeavour or to hit some specific personal goal.
