"Oh the in-humanity of destroying a Donald Ross golf course for a softball field"

Slight correction above?

I'm not a golf fan, so this may be lost on me. Only played 1 time in my life on a 9 hole course with rented clubs when I was 16. I think I tallied a 74, but it was probably much worse than that because we didn't know golf rules.

Also, I was never affluent enough to afford the game.

First hole there was a water hazard - basically an oversized puddle. Using a driver, I hit a ground ball into the puddle. Thought I must have used the wrong type of club. So I tried one of the irons next. Hit a popup into the puddle.

Given that I had a better arm than a golf swing, my next "shot" was to throw a ball over the puddle and proceeded from there. With rented clubs and a limited supply of balls, I figured I'd run out of balls by the third hole.

My best shot of the day was right down the middle of the fairway - and then nobody in my party could find the ball. I don't know how many balls they gave us to start, but I didn't have many left at the end.

All golf jokes apply:
Golf, a nice walk spoiled.
Golf was invented by the same people that think music comes out of bagpipes.
