This Takes the Cake
 
This morning my husband and I played golf with another couple. We were the second group out. The couple in front of us were walking, not holding up anyone. We four were getting ready to tee off when all of a sudden we saw the man in front walking back up the golf cart trail coming toward us. We all assumed one of them had left a golf club and we just didn't see it. But not the case. He told us his girlfriend was partial to a feathered tee and he was trying to find it for her. We couldn't believe our ears. Don't know if he found it and didn't care. Talk about the etiquette of golf and Ready Golf and holding up the game. Those two didn't have a clue.

Did he offer for ya'll to play through?

No, I don't think he had any idea how disruptive he was being.

I am no longer a golf virgin! Went golfing today for the first time...loved it! Had fun and learned a lot...my game stinks. But I think if I go out once or twice a week and maybe take some lessons, I think I could be a decent golfer. So if you are behind me, I might be a little slower please be patient! I think I am going to like this game!

My wife and I are going to take golf lessons when we get settled in. We are complete "golf virgins" too. Never played. Always too busy. I hope we don't irritate the experienced players while we are learning the game.
