Ahhhh! There's nothing like a day on the golf course. This is the course on Kadena Air Force base, Okinawa; and here is the line up for twilight golf.
For all you golf savvy people out there, no laughing. This is my fourth time on the course and I'll have you know the second time I EVER played I shot two holes for par and out drove my buddy's two hundred some odd dollar driver with a set of cheap rental clubs!! For all of you non-golf savvy people that means I'm freaking awesome!!! Well, all until my tee-off on this 198 yard par 3 which ended up with a lot of top spin and barely made it past the ladies tee block. Note: also for all of you non-golf savvy people, if a man doesn't clear the lady's tee on the first drive he has to play the rest of the hole with his pants down! Hey, I don't make the rules.
Meet Aric. The man responsible for introducing me to this wonderful sport and teaching me the ways of the course. Under his careful guidance and instruction I have learned how to tee-off, hit a fairway wood, an iron, a wedge, and a putter. I can judge distance, choose the correct club for the occasion and sort of aim in the right direction. Next lesson: how to tell your wife you want to buy a set of golf clubs. Apparently there really is no tried and true approach to this lesson. It really is more about trial and error. (I love you honey!)
Observe the exquisite form and intense concentration as I try to crack my ball out of the rough to attempt 200 yards to the green. I also used this same method to trim the weeds on the back nine! There is nothing more satisfying than really connecting with a ball and watching it sail in the direction you intended it to go, and I'm really hoping to experience that feeling some day! I really did have a great time golfing and yes, I'm hooked. Speaking of being hooked I have noticed a striking similarity between golf and fishing...a bad day on the course is better than a good day at work...Go Navy!!!!!

Should be a piece of cake.... just compare your golf clubs to her purse collection :)
I'll take you some time kiddo; good advice mom!!!
i never went golfing before but i hear it's fun.
p.s i never had sushi before but i think it is really good because it is seafood.
hey, most of my purse collection was inherited... i.e. FREE!!! so no dice, buddy!
Stan,
Forget purses, go for SHOES!!!
hey, now that's a low blow...
Does all military play with the pants down rule? My husband plays the same way. When we were in Oki, he played at Awase Meadows a lot and really enjoyed the course. As for the golf clubs...My hubby is deployed so if you can make it to NC before October, I will make you a real good deal on some Callaways. However you have to promise when he comes back that you know nothing about the disappearance of the clubs from our garage! :)
Hmmmmm...Callaways, nice. I couldn't do that to another man. I mean for an offense like that I might have to play the entire course with my pants down!
LMAO!!!
Sorry Noel, looks like we are back to the shoes. ;)
