a thought for greener times

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs and losers of balls....

A recent study found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud. Almost feel like a hybrid.

Golfers, every sleep is a day closer to opening!

    Thanks.

    No lie, the first thing I thought when I looked outside this morning was that it would be at least 4 months until I'm golfing again. Sick.
  • Didn't get a chance to golf as much as I would have liked this past season, but I too envision green fields with rolling hills for the upcoming new season.

    Me...golfing...who would have guessed that 10 years ago??

    Personally, I find golf very relaxing...if you don't include cursing bad shots, throwing clubs in fits of rage, stepping in goose shit all day, searching for lost balls, slugging a 40lb bag around on your shoulder in 32degreeC heat with sweat pouring out of every possible place you can imagine (and someplaces you can't), all trying to hit a small white ball into a slightly larger hole 400+yds away.

    Yea...VERY relaxing sport.

    No wonder Tiger has so many 'distractions' to take his mind off the game.

  • It is, indeed, a graphite shaft. My shaft is somewhat stiffer than that one, thank you very much. Helps with the trajectory of my balls . . . "cheers:

    I am.
  • Very excited about golf again today. Rumour was out that our golf club was going to be bought out by Golfnorth, who has a deserved reputation as a golf course killer. Received an email from our head golf guru and the sale is not going to happen. I bet the three happiest people on the Forum today are myself, Hellmuth's Mole and joeheartsdi. See you on our course in April gents and bring lots o'money.
