Golf
Caliente
I decided to do something
really boring the other day just so I would have something to
write about so I jumped in my truck and went to a golf tournament
in Tucson. I was supposed to meet some people but they never
showed up so I begin walking around the course. I
started following a foursome of reasonably good players
but I could tell that one of this group was not at all pleased
with the way his game was going. On his approach shot to the
14th green the agitated player had 80 yards over a pond. His
shot hit the green and rolled off the back. He threw the club
in his hand right into the pond. Evidently this did not make
him feel any better. He then walked over to the cart he was
riding in, removed his golf bag and tossed that into the pond
as well. Without saying a word he turned and walked off
towards the parking lot. As I was watching the next group tee
off we all saw the disgruntled golfer heading back towards the
pond were he had deposited his clubs. We watched as he sat
next to the water and removed his shoes and socks. He waded
into the pond, found his golf bag and pulled it out to dry
land. After rescuing his equipment from the murky depths he
opened a side pocket and removed what appeared to be car keys,
and threw the golf bag back into the pond. This time he added
his golf shoes to the sunken treasure and walked back to the
parking lot. I followed him and offered to buy him a Corona
but he wouldn't speak to me. Golf doesn't look like all that
much fun to me and is played by a bunch of stiffs. Beers are
also too expensive. I won't be going again.
