Hi Mr Blogman..
ok this is meant to be a funny but serious at the same time.... ;-) its golf you know and theres an etiquete (spelt wrong no doubt) of golf !
so it was my lesson tonight at the driving range - ok with my friend but as he's a pro long time golfer best choice..
get home from work....hhhhhmmm what to wear ?? well you know these golfers ?? all stripped rupert bear trousers and nice pink or yellow tops !!! oh and not forgetting the baseball caps..
well the only stripped trousers I have are my PJ's - uuuuhhhh no I dont think so...and i do not own any pink or yelllow tops, and sadly ex took the Taylormade baseball so i settle (and im sorry but this is a serious point !! re clothing ! gotta look the part lol.....) for jeans and t..
go to driving range....lovely lovely chap hands me the clubs....now i want to buy a glove...ok so it looks the part ! but i tell him last time i went i got a blister....im told my hands are tooooo soft !!! excuse me I say I am a lady who has ladies hands !!! friend (steve) fell about laughing.....
anyway am told by chap who works there my grips too tight..ooohhh eerrr really ?? uummmmmmmm
so he does tell me thats WHY i got a blister last time as I held the club too tightly...
he shows me how to hold the club and to make sure that it's loose enough that someone could pull it away from me....thank you...he was lovely...bit old for me but bit dishy have to say !! wink wink..
so we go to the boxy things that you stand in...we put the balls in the floor thing that opens up and then press the buttons so the balls come up automatically...why the hell didnt someone tell me you could do this before !! i seriously didnt know it did that !! how exicting !!
steve tells/shows us ladies how to hold the club, to bend our knees, to stand with feet slightly apart (yaaaawwwwnn i was so doing this before ;-) )and then how to hit the ball...mmmm ok didnt know that !! you need to move your hips !! and oh dont forget......WATCH the ball...DONT take your eyes off the ball....
so after a few very feeble attempts Steve has to help me...here we gooooooo...he apologises to sue his wife but he needs to stand behind me and show me how to do it properly....great...so now I know what I'm doing wrong...so do you think I could hit the damn thing ?????? uuummm no...
53 and something balls later....Ive not hit that many...ad I have I just cant get the height or the distance !!!! ive tried a wood, a 7, 9 and 6 iron...but my head keeps moving !!
sue however is flying !!! i swear she got to 200 yards (is it yards ??)
still the most fun ive had in ages......between us we had 159 balls....meeting up again in 2 weeks together but Im going next week........ ;-)
Ladies if you want to get fit....want to feel those arms and waistes working then golf is for you...
chaps if you need a laugh at us women (although saying that bring it on ?!! Golf wikistock - didnt i say that last time ??) then I say we need a mix match at what ?? oohh how about Pebble beach ?? hahaha...
Take care
Daisy

Daisy, I know I dont know you but Im so proud of you!!! Good on you for giving it a go. My ex is a die-hard golfer and takes it way tooo seriously. I would never have been encouraged to actually have a go, I was just encouraged to meet him at the club for a drink when it suited. You may want to check out your local club ..... bet there are fit guys in the bar, not to mention fit cars in the car park  |

Hi daisy, wish all women took to golf like you seem to have done, it's great isn't it, fresh air, exercise, fun and laughs and then the 19th hole, could it get any better. As before anytime you want to play around (thats a golf term) let me know, always up for a few holes (yes thats a golf term as well) anyway have fun. let us all know how you are getting on and maybe one day wiki golf day? Take it easy and catch u later Gareth |

Hi Daisy I too have started playing again (only twice so far) but you are right about the frustration and satisfaction in equal measures. Keep it up. I think a wiki golf match could be great fun. Bert |

So Daisy, you are keeping it up (the golf that is) good for you, my trips to the driving range have become less frequent recently, but it due to the rubish weather, well thats my excuse. It is a very frustrating game, but on the range it doesnt matter so much, although its great when you hit the ball well! Little tip, I dont think it matters what you wear on the range, in fact if you dress up to look the part and you cant hit the ball for toffee, then I think you might look a bit of a plonker!, fun though! Anyway like everyone else has said, good for you, find a course with a driving range, and you can use the 19th hole even without the walk, result! GM |
