Fore!

When I was young, I would go golfing every once in a while with my dad. I was always impressed with his game, he loved to golf when he was younger, and he has had a lot of practice. Because he liked golf so much, he also liked to atch it on TV. Back in those days I swore never to like golf. It was boring when it was on TV, and frustrating when played in person.

Now, I love it! Kat took Rustom on a golf trip for his birthday and invited Jack and I to come along. It took us 3 hours to complete the back 9. For those of you who don't know whether that's a long time or not, the course marshall drove by on his cart and politely suggested that we hurry the crap up :)

Even though we were rushed, poor shots, had to wake up early, and tired from running around chasing balls - it was really fun to be out in the morning air and trying not to suck. I have definitely changed my mind about golf! I even managed to get par on the 18th hole, which is something I really hope I can repeat next time :P

I'm thankful for my dad, he taught me the basics of the golf swing! And with practice, I'm hoping I'll be able to become a decent golf player. Now all I need is a good set of clubs...

Rustom and I went snooping around local garage sales and thrift stores looking for some clubs. We bought 10 for $14, which ain't too shabby, if you ask me. These clubs are kind of hit or miss, but most are in pretty good condition, and held up nicely at the driving range today.

Golf, anyone?
