Masterful

"Golf is a lot of walking, broken up by disappointment and bad arithmetic." - Author Unknown

Any golfers out there? I took up the game a few years back and used to play at least once a week. I love a challenge and, boy, is golf a challenge. I gradually improved for a while until , apparently, I reached my potential. Unfortunately, my potential wasn't very high. I felt like ex-baseball player Chris Codiroli must've felt when someone asked him about his handicap. He replied, "My handicap? Woods and irons."

It's a beautiful thing to see a ball well hit, though. I guess if you've ever attempted to play the game, then you realize how tough this is to accomplish. That's why I enjoy watching professionals play.

Today was a good day to watch the Pros play. Tiger Woods won his fourth Masters tournament by beating Chris DiMarco in a sudden death playoff. It wasn't entirely pretty for Tiger, though, and you could see that golf can have it's way with even someone with that much talent.

I had to laugh when I ran across your article, especially the quote when I'm sitting here tired after a horrible game of golf. Every stroke was a stroke of bad luck. Oh well, there is always next game...LOL
