Its just a starter set, but a half decent one. I hope to get 2 years or so out of them. If i fall in love with the sport ? which that may happen, i will invest in a good set of clubs Cool

Like Flash says, once you're hooked on golf, you're hooked for good.

Some golfers were playing on their local course when a funeral procession drove up the adjacent road. One of the golfers said "Wait a minute, fellas." He removed his cap and stood there until the procession had turned into the cemetery across the road. One of his friends said "That was very thoughtfull, Charlie." Charlie replied "Well, it's the least I could do. After all, I was married to her for 32 years."

Golf Poem

In My Hand I Hold A Ball,
White And Dimpled, Rather Small.
Oh, How Bland It Does Appear,
This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.

By It's Size I Could Not Guess,
The Awesome Strength It Does Possess.
But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell,
I've Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.

My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same,
Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game.
It Rules My Mind For Hours On End,
A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.

It Has Made Me Yell, Curse And Cry.
I Hate Myself And Want To Die.
It Promises A Thing Called Par,
If I Can Hit It straight And Far..

To Master Such A Tiny Ball,
Should Not Be Very Hard At All.
But My Desires The Ball Refuses,
And Does Exactly As It Chooses.

It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies,
And Even Disappears Before My Eyes.
Often It Will Have A Whim,
To Hit A Tree Or Take A Swim.

With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land,
It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand.
Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul,
If Only It Would Find The Hole.

It's Made Me Whimper Like A Pup,
And Swear That I Will Give It Up..
And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow,
But The Ball Knows .... I'll Be Back Tomorrow.

*************************************************

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.

ASK TIGER

TV TIME
Q: What do you watch on television?

A: I watch the Golf Channel and a lot of "SportsCenter" on ESPN. And I like the History Channel and Discovery Channel. I'm a big fan of the show "Survivorman."

Who can blame him..lol Laughing

That is somewhat surprising. Surprised

I wonder if Les is a big Tiger Woods fan... Laughing

Wouldn't that be novel? They should schedule a time and place to get together over a brew. Cool

It would make a great comercial.
Tiger is on the 17'th hole,...he slices it ! OH NO !! ... he finds that it is deep in the trees.
He goes in to find Les Stroud making fire ^ getting his squirrel ready for dinner Surprised

Les says; hey Tiger, try to keep your shots in the fairway, your ball landed in my stew pot.
