As usual, cool pic!

As for golf, tried it many years ago. My performance never came close to my expectations, very frustrating. Now I think in terms of, if it's nice enough to play golf, it's nice enough to ride, and that's more fun. ;)

Well put, Bob!

As Winston Churchill said: "Golf is a perfectly good way to ruin a good walk." Or something like that.

Having said that, the frustration level of trying to get it 'just right' bears comparison with fettling and riding our sometimes recalcitrant motorcycles.

Unnn, well I used to love to yell "FOUR!" when I rooster-tailed my
dirtbike past the golf course just before someone would swing.
That's about the extent of my being "into" it. ::)

I know, How immature! but I was young and restless at 30.
peace,

The wife and I have been playing Disk golf lately.
In case you never heard of it you play with Frisbee like disks and shoot into baskets with chains to catch the disks.
Most of the regular golf rules apply and most of the courses are in public parks and free.
Its actually quite fun.
