Golfcourses

 

Golf courses willingly take money.  Lots of money.  One afternoon on the course can add up to a couple of grocery trips or a couple of gas-tank-fulls or another fun.  Like hobby supplies or running shoes. 

And we're talking about a single day on the course, not a couple three vacation days, or weekend-with-a-buddy days -- with carts.  Not tees and balls and gloves.  Nor range finders and clubs and push carts.  Not over-priced food at the 9-hole corner.  And certainly not the do-it-everyday-deep-money-hole membership.  !!! 

Golf courses willingly guzzle money. 

I know this because I used to watch golf courses inhale excessive dollars.  Of ours.  Not that we didn't enjoy 4 hours together.  Get some walking and talking in.  (Talking -- meaning, "The wind is north to south, the pin is at the back of the green.  I think I'll play my 56.") Team up with... strangers/new friends -- sorta.  Make a new/repeating memory. 

But now golf courses don't eat our money.  My money.  Which is why I spend golf course money on craft supplies and shoes and lunch and gifts.   Which is why spending golf course money feels ok to me.  

Sorry golf courses.  I'll let someone else fill your bottomless pit.  This girl is going to Hobby Lobby.
