A Little Fun Mixed With A Little Bit of Life

My life is like a roller coaster. One minute I am up, and the next I am down. However, I would not have it any other way because the ride is exciting.

i want to play golf everyday

I have off every Friday. It sounds nice to have Friday off but I do not like it. I work Sunday-Thursday. I picked this shift thinking that some point I would be moved Monday-Friday but that has not happened so I am stuck with the current schedule. In reality, I wish I was off every day of the week but that is not how it works.
Anyway, on a typical Friday I play golf. Sometimes I get a game together but other times I play by myself. Today I headed over to a local golf course to play by myself. It was a hot sticky day so I figured the course would be empty. It had a few groups out but not even to slow me down. I teed off and was off to the races. A great thing about playing about yourself is you can hit a bunch of balls and practice different shots. I was having a great time. I did not start on the first hole so I had to come around to play the last three holes of my round. Well when I got to the first tee the people were coming in droves. So the pro shop guy asked if this one kid could play with me while I finished. I had no problem with it. We head to the tee and I get ready to tee off. I was playing the blue tees. This may impress you but do not let it. The course that I was playing is really short and it is only about 6400 yards from the back tees. First the kid says to me the ladies' tees are a little ways. I just said thanks but I would like to tee off here. I received a wondeful eye roll, and I think he said something like, "Who is she kidding. This is going to a long three holes." I hit a nice three wood to about 135 yards away from the green. (Told you the course is short...I hardly ever get to hit three woods from the tee on par fours.) The kid is a little shocked. He duck hooks his shot. From there he does not improve. I play the last three holes of my round at even par. The kid played horrible. (He lost two balls on the next hole, a par three. I could not even tell you what his total would be for the three holes.) He was so worried about being out hit and out played by a girl. He tried to hit every shot really hard and was angry at himself from the start. It was funny to watch him. Hey buddy...you made it a long three holes all by yourself.
I will not lie to you, it is fun to throw people off their games. It seems to happen more to men when they play with me. I do not get it sometimes but nevertheless it is still fun. I understand I am a little better than your average women golfer but I am not pro. It was just anyother day st the golf course.
