The Sniper's Edge (K7's Journal)

i don't like golf.
in any case, i got some exercise playing on my wii today.

Sniper, why do you like golf?

[K7Sniper]

I find it fun to play, and I'm not awful at it.

Plus it's something I can play well into the future.

Also, it's good to know in case of business outings

[Stiletto Kitty]

what makes golf so fun? it's not more fun than soccer or tennis.

[K7Sniper]

Probably because I'm good at it, and I can play the game with my dad and grandpa.

It's a skill sport, so I enjoy it when I make a good shot, or score well.

[Stiletto Kitty]

i don't think of it as a sport. more like physical therapy. and most sports take skill.
In any case, do your dad and grandpa play other sports? like football on turkey day or whatever?

[K7Sniper]

Try hitting the ball 250 yards straight every time, or even shooting a par or bogey on each hole

It takes just as much skill as pretty much any other sport, just takes a little less raw athleticism. However, playing golf without using a cart and carrying a 25lb bag the whole time can put a bit of a strain on your body.

My dad played baseball, basketball, and rugby when he was younger. My grandpa was in the Navy as an engineer, and also played baseball.

Speaking of football on thanksgiving, my extended family has a yearly football game the saturday after. It's pretty fun.

[Stiletto Kitty]

It's tradition. We play and watch football every thanksgiving. Rain, shine, snow, sleet. If you can walk in it you can play.
I have played golf before. Under dire circumstances. It was very boring. I felt very sleepy. The sun was shining. And this was what I was stuck doing?

I think I have some idea of what body strains are.

[K7Sniper]

It seems that my former boss who was pretty much bullshitting stuff about me to fire me got canned himself!

Karma is nice at times.

That must feel really nice.

[K7Sniper]

It did.

What did NOT feel nice, however, is the $500 mechanic bill I had to replace some brake pads and axel bearings on my car today...

[K7Sniper]

Guess what! I'm on the radio killing off some dead air.

Feel free to tune in!

[K7Sniper]

I probably should just edit a previous post... but meh. It's a completely different topic!

Awesome video time!

[Stiletto Kitty]

let me think..... for some reason i am reminded of the ramones and the fact that they're all dead when I entered your journal just now and read the part about a former boss getting canned.

Ball golf is legit, I just can't afford to play it regularly. That's why disc golf is awesome, same general concept, a hundred times cheaper and you only carry about 5-10 lbs. depending on how much beer you bring.

[K7Sniper]

I never was too good at disc golf. The damn frisbee kept getting stuck on a roof.
