Slipping the clutch

"In ancient times, when men cursed and ranted and beat the ground with sticks, they called it voodoo. Today they call it golf."

So it's true, golf is called golf because all the other 4 letter words were taken. I am just in from my Monday nite league and tonite I SUCKED. And do you know what doesn't help? When people tell you "relax! it's just for fun!" Remind me to never tell someone that. It's all so strange and inconsistant, too, because it wasn't too long ago I walked in on AIR because I had had a breakthrough experience every golfer dreams of, happy, smiling, telling everyone I knew who I thought might give me the credit I thought I so richly deserved (in my little short lived golf heaven that is). I think I even remember saying "I love that man who invented this crazy game. Who is he?" Well, this little heaven didn't last long. Or at least not long enough. And you know what's the weirdest part of it all? Because I have a great big gigantic handicap (because truth be told, my sucky game was actually very close to my usual game) (just the attitude was different) my standing for tonite was tied for first! So what really happened was that I was given a food pellet for the wrong behavior! It IS a crazy game. If you haven't tried it, you oughta. Or not.
