Thread Name: BS: Is Golf Rubbish?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Golf Rubbish?
Actually, I like golf courses. They're wonderful open spaces with lots of grass and trees and little ponds and stuff. Cities need more green space. E'en though I don't play, I like golf courses.

Now, I used to play. Last time I played, back in '78 or so, I shot a 72 and figured I'd never do better than that, so I quit. I mean, a 72? On the first hole? Actually, I caddied when I younger and I would carry solid leather golf bags containing every club from a driver to a mashie to a 1 iron to a niblick to four different kinds of sand wedges for 18 goddamn holes. For this, I was paid the noble sum of less than USD 5.00 -- and that includes the tip, if any.

I haven't heard of a caddy in years.
