Arrgh....Golf has never been an option, nor even a distant thought for me....

I was going to liken golf to trap shooting but I have too many friends here who play golf.... and who shoot trap.

They do call the game of sporting clays "golf with a shotgun".

Probably because it involves golf carts, a wonderful offshoot of the game of golf.

I will admit, I enjoy following my wife around when she plays. Partly because I enjoy watching her intensity, and seeing her have fun. Dean, we go out to Kineo every year for the final day of their season; usually on my birthday.

That would be a lovely excursion in good weather in that sweet little launch you had on Moosehead.

i like golf- or cow pasture pool as my grandfather called it

i don't play it - but i like it because it keeps people off the trout streams

Ha! From Curriers (West Cove) to Kineo would take, oh, roughly, all summer.

Golf - A good walk spoiled. If you want to watch a funny bit on golf, google up "Robin William's golf" language gets a bit (lot) rough

Another great Parker story developing. Nothing like a new puppy or a just found piece of a rare gun to get everyone's blood pumping. Just like a Colt Lightning pistol I saw that had just come from a New Orleans cat house, the "Lady" had just traded it for a hot Smith 38, talk about "if that one could talk". Congrats on a great find, looking forward to the story as it develops!
