Now that we are in the middle of the holiday season, we can be easily distracted by all the egg nog, fruit cakes and all around joyfulness this season brings. Not me. My guard is up. Seeing that my significant other does not golf and has no knowledge of golf, golf equipment or golf prices, I am very careful when I answer the question “What do I want for Christmas?”.
Fellow hacks, be careful and proceed with caution. Now, I’m not saying she’s cheap, not at all. But if I told her I want a new driver, she would see a $400 plus price tag and think I’m crazy. Not only that, her attention would then shift to the clubs in my bag and assume those were a hundred or so each. Man it’s getting deep…
Without hesitation, she says “Oh sure, you can spend thousands (a little exaggeration out of anger) on dirty golf clubs but heaven forbid I need (notice she said need, not want) a pair of shoes…” I can assure you my clubs were not in the thousands. Next thing I know, my mother-in-law is involved in this whole ordeal and I’m getting bombarded from both sides. Hey, what’s with the bucket of water and towel…?
Ok, so they wouldn’t actually water board me but you see what I’m saying? We can avoid all of this unnecessary hoopla by not asking for any golf equipment for Christmas. Unless your significant other is rich or golfs, which in that case I say “Good for you, you lucky little devil you!” So, please keep this season joyous and avoid any holiday water boarding.
Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
