I think I'd be using a cart. Somehow women wear full covering burka's in that kind of heat in the Middle East.
It doesn't take them long to take them off once they get on a plane out of there.

I always take a cart. I get winded getting out of bed to walk to the toilet four times a night.

We always rented a cart. How
else could we carry the beer.
Golf for us was totally social,
screw the game.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Only when they leave the house. They don't really do anything physcial in it.

I had one woman justify it by (paraphrasing): "I only leave the house a couple of times a month so its not too bad".....

Be careful throwing out what looks like junk mail credit card offers. Apparently official cards for some payments look enough like junk mail that some people might throw them away.

There is a regulation about junk mail looking "official." It got so bad that once my mother or maybe a friend of hers got something official and said it looked like junk mail. I explained it was the junk mail that looked official.

I played golf from 1969 to 1984. It
just got too crowded and too expensive
and very hard to find a friend to
play by that time. Golf was always
a social event for me. Friends
and beer good times. Always an
afternoon event.

.


Golf for me is social too, I am a terrible player but love to hang out with the guys. Most of our group is drinking by the time we tee off, even if it is 6am.
