hi Babs,

I found, the more you concentrated on learning the techniques of swing etc, the worse you get.Ii literally got worse and worse until I sold my golf clubs before I could drop them over the nearest cliff.

Hi Ray.

LOL! It was that bad huh? I live near a golf course, I really would love to have a go. But, I couldn't go alone and nobody I know would want to have a go with me.

Believe me Babs.

Golf is the most frustrating game in the world. the more effort and strength you put into hitting the ball, the more it stays un-hit. I have seen 10 year old kids hit the ball further than me!

If you want to become proficient in swearing, hang about near a golf course!

He's correct on the golf, by the time you have to stand just "so so" and try to swing,... it's like being in an ladies tight "girdle" full of palster of paris...and it's setting up solid.       I'm not good an many things, but then some guys like that...esp when it's saying "NO"!         Yes, I've blown up an few eggs in the microwave upon occasion trying to make them "hard boiled"..it takes practice to be an terrorist "Housewife" with breakfast.  .....There were times in "Scouts" I was so good at most nothing, that they would just smile and put theri finger up to their lip and say.."shhh..don't tell us..we don't want to know...your still alive!" It was then that they announced frozen peas were the best for anything that didn't go right...and it helped the swelling go down in the protruding "lump".  

BUT..at least I was never the poor gal with the wrap around skirt on the corner waiting for the bus upon whose wrap around didn't correctly wrap around an revealed it all....and We use to have to pass boys in the hallway like that also, whom threw out money on the ground to see what girl was stupid enough to stop and pick it up with her mini-skirt on...by bending over.  You'd be surprised!!!

Swimming, I can swim but not very well.  I really should get over my fear of water.
