Should I take up Golf?

That is what's known as a scramble; it's a game played at business or charity outings, typically involving once or twice a year players. It makes for a very slow round. Though if you have a strong player in the foursome it's fun hitting a 2nd shot from 280 yd drive if you don't hit the ball that far which I don't.

I forgot the term scramble. I've played with 3 other hackers (but not once or twice per year players) and our score was in the low 60's. The rounds aren't any slower than normal rounds.

I watch the Golf channel when I'm WFH because it's generally nice to listen to while working, Birds in the background, commentators not yelling at me like the news or CNBC, and the ads are not too annoying. I have no idea what is going on but it's pleasant background noise.

My early teenage son--used to be on middle school and HS golf teams--and I watching golf on TV. "Dad, what's Viagra?" I'm surprised he didn't ask me what a Buick is.

I'm guessing your "normal" rounds take a LOT longer than my "normal" rounds.

I know Telemarker's and used to road race in the Central and Prospect Park series in NYC, I think I can deal with a few country club snobs.

We're not that bad...

I'm happy to say I never took up Golf, if I'm going to waste time it's going to be with a fishing pole in questionable watercraft.

It doesn’t have to be. There are some beautiful courses to walk. It’s a walk with something to do.

Yeah, it's nice to be on a course especially while working.

Sums up the reason I quit golfing when I retired a few years ago. Now I can fuck off in nicely landscaped places during the week without needing an excuse.
