    I smacked golf balls around for the first time over the weekend here. Have I moved to the dark side? Do other CPians play this "game"? Cheers, Simon "Sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience the wrath of the gods.", Microsoft's home page (24/06/2002)

    I like playing, as long as I'm not with someone who is obsessed by the game. It's a good excuse to be outside, maybe drink a few beers, and laugh at how bad I am.:-D BW {insert witty/thought-provoking saying here}

        I did as a kid - no time anymore :( If you have the time, play & enjoy - it's very relaxing, especially with friends :cool: The following statement about your geekness is true.

The game wins you over by being so infuriating. How to get that stupid little ball into that stupid hole?? Then someone tells you how to hold the club better and suddenly you're getting closer. And then someone tells you to bend your knees a little. You get closer still, etc etc. Before you know it, you're hooked. Luckily, I have too much work right now or I'd probably still be there.

                I've played a few dozen times. I don't have much time to play now. I figure I'll pick it up more seriously when I get to old to ride my bike. But that might be a while considering this guy http://www.mtbmind.com/images/gallery/01olddude.jpg[^] Todd Smith

                  Golf - A four letter word for a sure fire way to ruin a nice walk in the park. SimonS wrote: Do other CPians play this "game"? I've had three sets of clubs given to me over the years, but have still managed to avoid acquiring the nasty habit. The only time I've ever swung a club was once as a little boy out on the driving range with my Dad. The local pro told my Dad that I was a "natural," but since it was his job to sell golf lessons, I tend to doubt his veracity. I've given two sets away, but still have one in the storage unit; I wonder if anyone has a birthday coming up soon... Word of the day: Rotundacrat

                    Haha, although I have no time for it on TV, its actually pretty good fun. I'm hardly good (but I am ok enough to avoid losing a mass of balls in a round). Driving Ranges are always good fun, something I need to do more of really. -- Paul "I need the secure packaging of Jockeys.

Approx 7 yrs ago I became an addict, and would either play 18 holes each day or practice for a few hrs, I got my handicap down to a 12. Over the last 3 yrs the addiction has waned quite a lot. Warning it can become seriously time consuming !! I'm lucky that my home shares a boundary with a great course, and the playing membership fees are low. Regardz Colin J Davies
