[ColdNoMore]

Thinking of the bad weather forecast...just reminded me of a funny story.

A buddy of mine, who was dating a woman from Amelia Island about 20 years ago, got into a conversation about golf with her.

She mentioned, in no uncertain terms, how 'dumb & ridiculous' she thought golf was.

Him being an avid golfer, decided at that point it probably wasn't going to work between them in the long run...but didn't give up trying to 'sell' the game to her.

Her response was that she had went to the Masters one rainy year and detested walking up and down all of the hills...constantly slogging through the mud.

Making the obvious assumption, his first question was... "what practice day did you attend?"

Her answer was, "it was on Sunday...not a practice day."

At this point, my buddy is drooling with a dropped jaw, asked her if she knew how hard it was to get a Sunday ticket and how in the world did someone that didn't even like golf...go to it in the first place?

She then tells him, "I didn't have much choice, my brother had recently married one of Hootie Johnson's daughters...and the entire wedding party was pretty much obligated to attend!"

I told my buddy he should try to contact the daughter (IIRC-her brother was divorced from her by that time)...and see if maybe something might work out from there.
