Allis: A mention to Mrs [x] who's just about recovered now from the shock of the burglary. I hope they catch the culprits soon. Hay: Terrible. [Proceeds to say something about appropriate capital punishment to apply when they are caught] Allis: Ooh no, surely a bit of flogging first. So the punishment lasts longer. Hay: Oh yes, of course.

i hit golf balls this week. i have more natural ability at it than most other things that involve hitting balls. fun. and v. satisfying when you actually get it up in the air and far away. though i usually don't get quite as much distance as others. dunno if that's a strength thing or a technique thing (or the stella i had?). not too much exercise if you're just driving, though.
(we never heard of Africa in America, btw. TS: chatty, bubbleheaded non-news v. snide content.)

I've started playing again recently too and my handicaps gone down from a 14 to about an 11/10 - played ardeer and carded an 84 (an unecessary 7 [!!!], and three unecessary 6s) but shoulda been a 79. that is playing to handicap I guess (it was 14) but I reckon markers would have given me the 7 and 6s as 5s (taking into account the rest of my card.)
I love golf.
soft hands!

I think "links" golf has something to do with those weird golf course where the 18th green is also the 1st green, the 2nd also the 17th &c. (like uh st andrew's?) hence the name "links", but I'm not entirely sure.
where does the name "links" come from?

No punches are spared for the PGA's awful racist history, and yet, I still want to play at Augusta. And I don't even golf!

the "culture" surrounding it can seem quite exclusive and overdefined in a boring and elitist way but I don't assume all golfers/people who play golf fall into that trap but, since it is the way, they probably always have to compromise to it, a little, which is offputting
I don't mind watching it on the telly but wouldn't choose to, really. I have been to a tournament or so and the day was OK but not for the golf, so much. like any sport I don't really like to watch (a lot of which I (would probably) quite enjoy playing, for fun), I might watch the final day or so, if there's nothing else to do/friends are watching it
my problem is talking about golf
I cannot stand people talking about golf
not talking about a tournament, if it's on, but, I'm sure, I wouldn't be interested in that either
people talking about their own games, especially to people who haven't invited it or expressed any interest
and loudly
one of the most boring things
(he (the person that prompted this) also talks about money and, probably, cars (another two of the most boring things))
(I used to play golf, btw, and was a member at my local club (years ago))
(crazy golf and pitch & putt are, of course, classic)

Woods' playing ws brually clinical and as much as I wanted to see a close finish it didn't matter in the end. DiMarco played v well, great put for par (on the 15th, i think) to stay in touch. Only one winner tho'.

I was with a grade 2 class in Listowel, Ontario, today, and one of the boys was Corey Conners' nephew (brother of his mom). "He's rich, you know"--he laughed. (Also said his uncle had won a million dollars when he won the Masters; I said I didn't think so but let it go--I don't doubt that he won a million somewhere.)
