Swap Work . . . Play Golf

My Delight With Golf - Paul Chong "Golf is a club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible." - Wikipedia. GOLF as a word used to stand for "Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden". However, it's no longer so today. To me, GOLF is both a leisure & pleasure: * to rise before the break of dawn, fresh & breezy * teeing off from the first hole for a 9-hole game or 18-hole game, depending upon the availability of time * meeting up with a group of friendly retirees for a social game & recreation * the sheer pleasure of healthy exercise in walking & swinging crazily with your club over a distance aiming for a tiny hole which can cause you to have great sensation or frustration * quite apart from the game, to be close to nature & surprising encounter with groups of kangaroo families sunning in the green. "You can see me but you can't come near me." Golf is an enigmatic sort of sports. Someday you are on top of the world. Others you are at the edge of hell. You will never know what to expect, even with the best of the professional players. I had a good run & fun with golf over 10 years (age 65 -75) . . . forced out of golf because of "windy shots" when glaucoma came my way.
