Sharing the addiction

I have written a ton about the beginnings of my addiction and relationship to golf. Now its time to start touching on some of the other areas of golf and some stories that are more present. I recently got engaged and could not be any happier...Well I could be happier if I could convince Kelly to enjoy golf and want to golf with me a lot. As it is she will golf with me when we are down in Cape Cod but in Kelly's words "ONLY THE PAR 3 courses". She claims to be terrible at golf and this is one of the reasons she won't go. Let me tell you a little story about the last time we went to the Par 3 near the cape house. The course is a nicely maintained par 3 called Twin Brooks golf course only about a mile away. After debating for a while about going she decided to come along semi happily. The day was insanely windy...I mean St. Andrews windy! We get to the first hole and I go to the left...Kelly goes to the middle. First round of the season luck she tells me and before she finishes getting it out of her mouth I am sounding some sort of fart imitation noise as if to shun her comment. Needless to say she is 1 over after 4...SHE PARRED 3 of the first 4 holes. In all fairness she has been doing a ton of the 30 day shred workout plan...you know the one from the biggest loser, so she claims that's why she is hitting the ball better... I think she has almost always hit the ball well. I mean she is an amateur golfer like the rest of us so she will have good days and bad but she is a good golfer. If only I can convince her and maybe she will like to golf more and eventually I won't have to drag her caveman style to the golf course anymore. Hey a man can dream can't he? Don't answer that it was rhetorical!

  1. Ways To Make Me Like Golf by Kelly:
    1. Ensure the weather is always perfect, not too hot and not too cold.
    2. Get rid of the excessive snottiness of golf- I want to be able to wear my comfortable work out clothes!
    3. Make golf take one hour or less, that is my attention span.
    4. Give me a golf course to myself, no one waiting for me and I don't wait for anyone.

    That's all I ask, then I will like golf. Hey, a girl can dream can't she?
