Tommie and I have new golf shoes, and we look very cool on the course. I just kept looking down at my shoes as we all played golf together yesterday thinking, “I LOVE these shoes.” Of course, I have that new fancy TaylorMade Burner that can really bonk the ball out there, so I may have the overall equipment edge until Tommie replaces her ancient clubs.
Here’s what we’ve always known but rediscovered yesterday: Mary and Deb LOVE golf. They love thinking about it; they love working on their games; they love practice; they love lessons; they love playing; they love replaying every hole in conversation afterward as if we weren’t all there to see it first hand.
Tommie and I love Mary and Deb, so we play, too…and we’re good golfers (okay, we’re VERY good…at least Tommie is). But Tommie and I love to play only about 14 of the 18 holes. After 14 or 15 holes, we’d rather sit on the patio and have a cold drink and eat chips and salsa. Mary and Deb would forget the food and play until it gets too dark to see the ball.
I think we’re planning a little 3-day golf trip to Maggie Valley in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains; but I’ve heard that you have to dress up for dinner in the Maggie Valley lodge, and I’m not going anywhere where I have to dress up for dinner.
