Turning Green on The Greens

Its interesting to me that people always want what they don't have. I was at the golf course once again. I joined up with a fellow single player, which has become a nice way for me to meet people. You learn a lot about folks by how they handle themselves while playing golf. So the guy I was playing with could hit the ball pretty damn far. I myself have always been a rather shortISH hitter. As we played along I was in awe of how hard he hit the ball. I wanna do that!!!! Unfortunately he couldn't hit it straight. So as we walked to our balls, I could see him eyeing my ball, more often than not laying in the fairway. It was an invidious reminder of what he could not do. He told me later that he wished he could hit it straighter and I admitted that farther sure seemed better. It was funny how neither of us really appreciated our own little slice of skill from the Golf Lime Pie. It was decided that if we were to have a child it would make a pretty good golfer. Well, actually it was ME that said that and it became a little uncomfortable after that. 



In the end we both scored about the same. It's a lot like life. There are many roads to any destination. Find yours and then relax and enjoy the ride. If you are constantly rubber necking the guy in the other lane you are liable to miss some  amazing (if nor spectacular)  things going on right on front of you.

  1. Yes, but think of the missed opportunity to awkwardly proposition another man to have a child with you had not the rubber necking occurred...

  2. Actually I think that might be an argument AGAINST the rubber necking.
