Playing golfPosted on 2006/10/07 11:44:34 (October 2006).  So, now that I give English classes in the evening (mostly to beginners who don't spot my numerous mistakes) and earn thereupon a little money, I decided to renew my subscription as a member of the national golf federation. For I love golf. Not the snobbish side of it. I love vast expanses of impeccable lawn strewn with groves. I love playing in the early morning, when grass is still covered with dew. Or in the late afternoon when people start deserting the course and nature recedes into stillness. This morning I did an hour of practice. I was relatively glad of myself. I didn't lose my touch. In fact, paradoxically and though my left arm is now in great pain, I believe I improved my swing. One thing is important when playing golf. You have to remain humble. Unless you're really good at it. As I was doing some practice, an old man smoking a cigare came to play by my side. I told myself : "I'm going to impress the old schmuck" ! Well... it was a disaster.

We used to hold "events" for good customers. One year this was a golf tournament. Apparently I walked - with my trolley - too close to the club house. In fact I walked *into* the club house with my trolley, left it at the entrance and then proceeded to order myself a drink (Guinnesss would you believe!). I had previously availed myself of a Guinness or two before... Posted by Nigel at 2006/10/08 10:18:52. Comment 4I would have set the clubhouse to fire (after the guiness) and needless to say I would have avoided that place forever in the future! Posted by Lox at 2006/10/08 10:50:12. Comment 5Hardly believable. Are you sure you told me everything, Nigel? You say you had a pint or two before... Was it just one or two ? Posted by Sheri at 2006/10/08 11:52:03. Comment 6:))))))) Good idea Lox!! Posted by Nigel at 2006/10/08 17:36:12. Comment 7Ok, I believe you... Posted by Sheri at 2006/10/08 19:26:47. Comment 8Hey Sheri.
