Default Fun - top priority

Hubby and I have been playing golf for many years. Our top priority is to have 'fun', but we are, and always have been, very competitive with each other - no matter what the sport, golf, bowling etc. Now days we enjoy pairing up in a 'best ball' format and setting little (or big) goals - like scoring par on an executive course. When we play with other couples (that we know) we sometimes play the women against the men. Last week the ladies won - the men had to grill the burgers after. If we are playing with 'new friends' it's an easy-going round, sometimes not even keeping score. This year we registered for the GHIN handicap system. Even though we don't play the 18 hole courses often, we have enough scores to maintain a handicap. This allows us to participate in The Villages Golf Club outtings outside TV. It's a great way to meet and enjoy the company of other golfers.
