I play mainly for the exercise. It is just a social event for me and a chance to get out in the fresh air. That is better than sitting around the house, telling old stories. I only play when I am up north with my buddies, a few times a year. Now that the Macular Degeneration has pretty much blinded one of them, we don't get out as much. He usually plays from my cart. He can't see where his ball went and I don't really care where mine went. We just talk and hit the ball. We both go through a lot of ammo. |
