We all know the importance of an education. It gives us the opportunity to advance in our careers. It gives us a foundation of knowledge to which we can expand. And as we also know, an education is not always something learned in the classroom. There’s hands-on or on-the job learning, street smarts, self taught and google.

Being in the learning/teaching spirit, I thought I would ask a few golf related questions to my non-golfing fiancé and test her for some basic golf knowledge. Here goes:

Q: What is the main objective of golf?
A: To get the little white ball in the hole…more so, an excuse to get out of doing stuff around the house. hmmmm

Q: Where was golf invented?
A: Scotland. I am impressed.

Q: Name three professional golfers.
A: Tiger Woods, that Mickelson guy and you. 
Q: Me? 
A: With the amount of years and time spent on the course you should be pro…ouch!

Q: What’s a birdie?
A: When you hit the ball in the hole under par and you and your buddies high five each other and jump around like idiots.

Q: Why don’t you play golf?
A: If I wanted to cart stuff around an be pissed for four or five hours I would clean the garage, which by the way isn’t going to clean itself.

Well, I think that concludes this Q & A session. I believe it was quite the learning experience. Her knowledge of golf is pretty good and my knowledge of what’s good for me is much clearer. We can always learn something from one another.

Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
