You're reading the blog of the next Michelle Wei.
Well, maybe not. I've never had much athletic ability or paid too much attention to golf. However, tonight I made my debut in the golf world. Melody and I went to the driving range at Lunken-- it was a beautiful night and Melody is getting into golf so we thought it would be fun. And, don't get me wrong, it was fun...but I'm terrible.
Now, it was my first time so cut me some slack. I think I have potential and I would definitely like to go back. Near the end one of the guys working walked by just as I took a swing and missed. "Strike one. You get three strikes in baseball...but this is golf." I argued back, "hey, this is my first time." So then I think he felt sorry for me and stopped to give me a few pointers. I kept swinging and finally hit a decent one. "Hey, look at that, even a blind squirrel gets a nut now and then!" Gee, that makes you feel good...Meanwhile, he watched Melody hit a few nice ones and said, "You've got it down. You've got some nice athletic ability so all you need is some practice." So...I'd say that implies I don't have any athletic ability? I'm a blind squirrel. That's cool, I'll just keep workin' it at Curves. He'll be sorry when he sees me on TV at Pebble Beach next to Tiger Woods.

Fore!

While I applaud [with a golf clap, of course] your entry into the golfing world has already started off on a bad foot.
The proper spelling is "Fore" instead of "Four." It's telling the direction of your golf ball, not the number of people you wish to hit.
They have golf in England, by the way.
Thanks Steve, for pointing out how little I actually know about golf...I thought that was obvious enough in my post :) Anyway, correction made.
