Wait….What? Is that a….Six-Some?!?!? The Real cost of not having golf course rangers.

I’m a vociferous advocate for fast pace of play on the golf course, and absolutely and unapologetically abhor slow play.  Loathe isn’t a strong enough word to adequately convey the vile hatred and low regard in which I hold golfers that are unnecessarily slow.

Instead, you get the story of why I walked off of a golf course at the…

Oy. Nothing good is going to result from being that far across the line. Goodness.
So much stretching and so much work to do with my instructor. Reverse pivot Hell. Yikes. #WinterGolf
The whole town was in traffic gridlock, but at least we had this view on the way to Oma's house.
