Golf – A Sport of Honor?

Live on a golf course and this weekend for some reason a golfer with a bad swing hit a ball out of the course smashing the back window of my vehicle. Damage — $351., and no glass coverage. A neighbor stated “they” stopped by, however, no note was left.

Besides the clean up and financial loss, I am miffed. Earlier in the day the computer died, and going through Asus Computer and Staples insurance made for further angst. Did I mention I lost all my computer data with the demise???

It’s been a weekend but now have a brand new Lenovo computer, and hopefully it will last longer than 8 months of Asus computer service. Also, want to commend the St. Augustine Staples Tech staff who had a new computer up and running in 6 hours. And eventually the insurance came through. Gotta love those female Filipino customer service gals! Thanks, Rosh..

As to the window… have an appointment later today for repair. The wallet is much lighter after this weekend but life is a roller coaster and…

GOLF IS NOT AN HONORABLE SPORT!

Is golf for me?

I live on a golf course so why am I asking this question. I am surrounded by noises of carts and individuals grunting and raving about their putt. So, after 2 years of this I finally decided to visit the golf house or whatever it’s called.

Since trepidation was in my veins I brought Biscuit with me for protection. We were greeted by a charming woman who worked one day a week and while her information was limited she eagerly gave what she knew.

Leaving the clubhouse, ah yes that is what it is called, I held the information on the women’s league in my hand. Time will tell as I add up the costs of clubs, balls, perhaps shoes, lessons and fees. These costs verses a trip to Switzerland? Which money is better spent?

As Biscuit and I continued our stroll we past my condo on the way to his home. In front of my condo was a golf ball in an unlikely spot. Was this a sign? Switzerland verses golf is a hard choice. Perhaps they golf in Switzerland?
