So, does anyone here play golf?

[vat_man]

Okay, second in my series of trying to get threads going on other topics (and fire up this forum!) - does anyone else here play golf?

I play off a handicap of 12 at my golf club. I've been playing golf for abut 15 years or so.

Does anyone else play?

Golf is for GIRLY MEN! The only time I've spent on golf courses was running cross country in high school. Muhahahahhaaaaa (:

The only golfing I have done is at driving ranges. Me and my friends go there all the time. Basically we go to see if there are any cars on the course to hit. If not we still stay and hit some balls.

Oh, shut up (said in high pitched camp voice with slight lisp).

I love having moving targets when I play. I knocked an old man out once.

Running sucks. I've never been any good at it - I pound away at the treadmill and all I can hear is my knees moaning 'get off us you fat oaf'. Very effective method of improving cardio-vascular fitness, though.

AYE! That's because you're on a treadmill for crying out loud! Put on your sneekers and hit the trails, bub! Being out in a park, where the air is calm and the animals are chattering just makes you feel better. Even if you just stop and look around, you'll be better off for just being there. I think that was the most fun part of cross country. We competed in public parks, and golf courses, and ... even on farms ... When you're a mile out in the woods on a narrow trail and just a few of your buds (mates) are there with you, you feel completely at peace. Then you realize that your hated rival is coming around the last bend and you snap back to the task at hand. (: Treadmills are for the snoody types that think good fresh clean air will rot their shiney white skin. Well it will! It's called a TAN!

That's what bikes are for - besides, I'm in the surf!

Actually, in Australia, thanks to ozone depletion it's the sun that'll rot your skin, not the air.

Ah yes, sorry about that. How do you guys deal with it? Lots of Sun block lotion, or just out in the Sun for very short periods of time? Personally I don't like the Sun all that much. It dries out my skin so fast, and then I go itchy all day.

General rule is if you're out in it for more than 20 minutes, get sun lotion on. When I hit the surf, I tend to wear a either a full wet-suit or a lighter thermal long sleeve rash shirt with legs covered in lotion.

If I'm out and about, hat and lotion.

The scary thing is, it was an issue for some time before they actually discovered it, and when I think of those long afternoons playing cricket and baseball as a child, when wearing sunscreen meant you were a wimp, I shudder - looking at the spots on my arms, I'm sure a couple will have to come off.

86 is nothing to be embarrassed about, unless it was for 9 holes.
