I've never really understood golf, myself.  But there must be a lot of aficionados out there...as it is on television almost every weekend afternoon!

Carl Sagan explains the fourth dimension.

I wonder what golf looks like played in four dimensions?

I have played golf and used to caddy for my dad or brother when I was a kid.  I don't really like it.  I did like driving the cart.

Despite living in "Country Club" with three different golf course, putting greens etc. for the last 15 years I have never once played golf.

DR SAM - I guess I haven't been following the story very closely, but if you have an analog set, even with a good antenna, you won't get a signal.  You will need a converter box.

I used to play golf with two of my brothers.  Three of them now play regularly.  It was not my favorite game....but if the weather was not too hot, all of the walking and the upper body work out  was very healthy and enjoyable.

My favorite game or sport to play is tennis, although I haven't played for about a year.  I like singles NOT doubles....although I will play doubles if I have to.

Hopefully DR MATTH is feeling better today.

DR JOSE says his friend said he might have swine flu and DR JOSE cannot come over to his house.  I think this is a wonderful excuse and I think I will start using it when people come to my house.

I stopped playing golf after the Granada incident.

What was the Granada incident, you ask?

Well back in 1985, my father bought a brand new emerald green Ford Granada with all of the extras.  It was some car.  I was driving it one day when my brother and I decided to leave work early and play an afternoon game of golf. 

I stopped at my brother's house so he could pick up his clubs.  We had all of the windows down in the car because it was a pleasant day.  While he was inside, I decided it looked a bit like rain, and I didn't want rain in the backseat, so I used the power windows to roll up the back door windows.  My brother came out, didn't know I had done that, and tried to toss his clubs through the back door window ..... CRASH!

The resultant blame, drama, and expense caused me to give up a sport I only had a marginal interest in to begin with.

When I was around 12 or 13 my brother in law would force me to go golfing with him.

#1. I found golfing to be quite dull

#2. I did not like my brother in law, and spending hours on a golf course with him was torture.

PS: I am still not that fond of him

Good morning, all! Much as I hate to lay more bad news on DR Ron Pulliam early in the day, I will say only that I had a very sleepless night in which no amount of Vicodin or Flexeril could relieve enough pain to allow me to sleep. Tomorrow's the doctor, so we'll see what happens then.

I also had a frustrating day with Life Begins At 8:40; the copyists are making what I consider judgment calls without asking me for clarification on my layout sheets and that frustrates me since a number has to be redone vocally before I can proof it and sign off on it. That was the second biggest issue yesterday. I cannot go into the first one because it would cause too many problems within my team on the project.

I always thought golf was a ridiculous sport, right up there with football.

TOD - Although I took half a semester of golf to fulfill my college phys ed requirement, I did not become a golfer.  In 1977 (long before Richard and I married), my parents, my sister's family, and I rented a cottage at Torch Lake, MI, for a week's vacation.  While Mom, Dad, and my sister and her husband played golf, I took my niece and nephew on day trips to places like Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.  That niece, Laura, eventually took up the game herself and, for about 15 years now, has been Head Professional at Illinois State University's

Here are the two of us at the  HHW party after DR PennyO's Jewish Thighs on Broadway:

Light cues are done.  And it only took two hours.  Now of course it will take another two hours to explain them to people.

TOD:

I took up golf as a lark with friends in my early 20's.  We were mostly a pack of goof-offs, generally a little stoned and constantly asked by other guys if they could play around us.  I always had a good time and actually learned how to play.

I got a little more serious about the game in my 30's because the company I worked for would often sponsor golf events and we were expected to participate.  But while I developed a pretty decent drive, my putting skills sucked.  Once I left that company to work elsewhere, I quickly lost interest altogether.  The last few times I went out to a club I spent most of the time on the drive range trying to hit the ball retriever kid.
