Dodgy knees meant that I could no longer play football and cricket. Golf filled a massive void, especially in the Summer as I played cricket Saturday, Sunday and at least twice in the evenings during the week!!
So the chance of you getting lung cancer have gone right down but the chance of stress related heart attack have shot up
because i love being miserable and playing sports with people who moan about absolutely every little thing :d
i took it up after my football and athletic days were over . Became a grumpy git indoors and my better half got her friends husband to take me out for a round. I don't think my wife has ever forgiven him for getting me in to this enjoyable but frustrating game.
i attended an incident where some idiots had stolen a car, drove it round a golf course, parked it on the 18th green and set fire to it. Just as my colleagues where about to fill it with foam i suggested that we rolled it off the green to save trashing the green any more. The golf club in question thanked us with free golf for the year. Thats when this mental torture began!!!!
it's a plan during my lifetime
football - snapped my cruciate
tennis - got old and wanted to play golf
golf - still doing it
bowls - ?
Shuv halfpenny - ?
Die - !
My father met the Pro at Reading golf club at a party, and the following week we started having lessons. I can still vividly remember the last one, when we went out on to the course for the first time. It was throwing it down with rain, but I still loved it.:thup: Needed to find a new sport, as I had just started at a school that didn't play football.
