Location: Atlanta, GA. | Next they'll say there's no such word as fishing, it's "go fish".
Well, there is that term also, but, that's a different activity.
Or they'll say it not fishing it's catching. But only when you actually land a fish.
Otherwise you are fishing.
So there. |

Location: Sunshine State, Australia | I went golfing with my brothers in March this year. They're both keen golfers and I'm not.
I renamed the game that I played that day to flog, which is golf backwards, coz thats how I played it, dead horse and all.
By the way, I flogged both of my brothers. My score was 3 times bigger than theirs. |

Location: SoCal | Golf, like tennis, has always been a proper sport with rules and etiquette. It should be referred to in a proper way. Even when it's played in shorts and a tee shirt, it's still very proper and polite.
I stopped playing golf about 4 years ago for 3 reasons. 1.)It took more time then I had to give (hey, I'm self employed with a wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs, and a mortgage I can't afford), 2.) too much money (it can be rediculously expensive out here and that's money that could go into guitars), and 3.) I had at that time renamed golf myself, calling it "f*cking golf".
It was time to stop playing golf (or, as you guys insist, go golfing).
Maybe that's it. I was trying too hard to play golf. If I had just thought to myself that I'm going golfing, I would have been much more relaxed about it..... |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Muzza--thank you for your post; that's the best laugh I've had all day. If I were to ever play real golf, I guess it would be the same the way I play miniature--why, I'd leave a whole herd of dead horses in my wake. The greenskeepers would be really happy to see me go. :D ;) :D
