I saw you were getting into this thing called golf earlier. Ever tried it?

I really want to try it but, no where to play around here.

 

[Slydell]

Looks like the nearest thing is 40-50 miles away from you. I have about 10 courses within 10 miles of the house.

We used to have one around here but the owner burned it down for insurance money, funny story it didn't take the first time so they burnt it twice :lol:

Damn. That's determination right there.

Not the only place in Tennessee that happens. I've known/heard of many around Loudon and Morgan counties.

Sounds nice. I doubt I could ever afford the gear needed to play honestly.

You will be able to at some point in your life. You can get started with a few hundred dollars for everything. Equipment would be used but in good condition. If you bought new getting started, it would be well used by the end of the first week of hitting.

I have seen some gear at pawn shops, dunno the price though. Maybe when I get out of college I can swing it.

When you're ready, let me know. Stay out of pawn shops for golf gear. I'll put you onto a few websites I used that sell great used gear in good to very good condition. I'm talking clubs that cost $800-1200 new that can be purchased for a few hundred used.

Well, crap. Forgot that the world didn't stop while I slept. And, I have some good golf lies, I mean true stories, I could have told. No hole in one for me either, just a few close.

I played a round with the dear leader, he beat me by 3 shots.

Very good, thank goodness. I have a bad eye infection with an unknown source. Have to do steroid drops every hour for one week, then follow up.

Iritis is the name.

Have you bumped it on anything? Can be caused by gout, Graves', Crohn's, etc. as well.

No. In my case, it truly is the one with no known origin. And, I don't have any of those or anything else.

Very strange. Oh well, at least you're healthy (besides the eye)
