Why I don't golf

I like to golf, but I rarely play. If I had a bag with an LCD screen and wi-fi, then it would be a different story. But until that day comes, I'll just try to sneak out a few saturdays each summer to keep my swing from getting too rusty.

As a lad, I golfed a lot. In northern Europe, you can play almost all night thanks to the perpetual summer sun. I can remember my dad hauling the whole family out for some golf around midnight one time--an experience I'd like to recreate with my family on our next trip to the motherland.

Anyhow, as much as I like golf, my play at a recent outing to the TPC course in Blaine was humbling. And it reminds me--as so many of my rounds do lately--that I better stick to code.
