I love playing golf.
I went out on a course with my husband -- who I will start off by saying is a very patient man -- and was so excited to hit in the 90s. The only problem was that it was a nine-hole executive course. He would tell me how straight my shots were and would say nothing of the fact that they didn’t go very far. There was usually less walking involved to get to the ball than back to the cart!
However, today has been set aside to honor the golf course I have mastered. Today, according to some sources is Miniature Golf Day.
We played on one MG course in Florida that was covered with grass -- just like a real course. Didn’t like it.
I love the ones where you have to hit through and around things. Send your ball into the mouth of an alligator. Hit through the legs of the nasty pirate as he’s swinging his sword in front of his legs. That’s my kind of fun. If there’s water involved -- especially the bright blue stuff -- that’s even better.
I also want to add o all those parents I’ve seen on the MG courses teaching their kids how to properly line up their putts and expressing their displeasure when the little ones don’t sink the ball -- IT’S A GAME.
By the way, tomorrow is Elephant Appreciation Day. Where are those peanuts!
