what we're talking about is how we perceived the sport growing up. i mean, was your dad the kind of man who played golf when you were growing up?
No, he had to abandon us to go kill people so that people like you could play golf
But now Derris makes some good points. Read above - where I did allow as how I would join the CC, but never play golf.

I guess I just think Loog is selling himself short by holding on to some perceived stereotype about the sport. He can't be any worse than me if he took it up and it would also open up an opportunity for us to possibly start some annual boys trip along the Robert Trent Jones golf trail.
Also, once one gets to the country club level it just seems that it offers so much that Gar loves. Glad handing, rubbing elbows with the movers and shakers, and swilling liquor.
I actually think that what an event like The Masters has done, overall, to sports at every level is probably the worst thing that has happened in our country in the past 30 years. It's all about elitism, luxury boxes, PSLs, etc.
There is a lot of drama. Everybody knows about heart attack turn and Nicklaus winning in 1986 at 42, Norman's epic fucking choke job, and Arnie's Army.
I am sure that I will end up watching the last round this afternoon if it appears close, but don't expect to me to jack off to it's built up bs.
