Well Keith, in the spirit of baring our souls I have gaffe that will make you feel better.
After moving into a golf community and deciding to take up the game, I joined the local club and was anxious to get out and hone my skills. Shortly after signing the check and becoming a full member, I bought new equipment and the right clothes to look the part. Stepping on to the first tee with a foresome I barely knew, I felt very proud that I was a full fledged member of a private club. I teed my ball for the first time on
my course and was ready to play some real golf. I pulled my 3 wood, spotted my target at the end of the fairway on a short par four, took a couple of fluid practice swings and then let'er rip.
The ball rocketed off the open toe of my fairway wood and
hit the clubhouse main dining window so hard that you could see the glass bend. To the best of my knowledge, I'm the only member that has hit the clubhouse off the first tee.
I just love this game.
