My work out regime keeps me limber enough to play. I have though in recent years been urged by some old retired Army buddies to pick up golf. Never played but, did go to the driving range with them one day and tried to drive. After a few hooks and slices I said that I would stick to softball until I could devote more time to golf.
I’ve always played a sport of one kind or another. I love competing. Bowled for many years, league and tournament. Ripped a tendon in my knee a couple years ago and had to give up bowling. Golf seemed like the best option since I have played it a little before. It’s a struggle re-learning at my age, but I like a challenge.
Knew a SFC who would buy a case (18 pack) of bud and drink it at night instead of dinner if we were not in the field or working. Before going home he would stop off at the shoppette and buy one most nights. Could not understand how he could and to top it off, he was skinny and could do PT with the best of them. My wife works with a guy who similarly does the same (not skinny though). Most nights before he goes home he buys a case from the Loves Truck stop outside of the back gate of FT. Sill.
Where do you play golf if you don’t mind saying? I think I remember that you and I aren’t far apart.
I think i may originally be from the same area (monroe and grew up playing at hidden hills), but live in Etown now and play at heartland (previously known as pine valley).
Thanks. Yeah I think I played hidden hills once a long time ago. Now play dale hollow and sometimes Kentucky Hills.
I think it’s that heartland golf course that has a pretty good sports bar and some really good pizza. Don’t play golf but just riding around one day and spotted the place.
That would be correct. Although the ‘sports’ bar is a bit of a stretch.
Well I live in Lebanon Junction so always looking for something different since we only have the one bar. I was there during the day so figured it prolly was busier in the evening.
I should clarify that I’m not knocking the place by any means. I love it and am a regular at the bar and member of the golf course.
..... In my mid 50s, I don't drink beer like I used to. I do treat myself to a good Belgian dubbel, tripel or a high end Saison like Tank 7 once in a while. My "go to" (4-5 times a week) is a Gin Martini. Usually, one in enough but occasionally (depending on how crappy my day was), I will have a second.
Back to the subject
Hey Mitch Barnhart --> piss off.
So who owns me?Err, Miller light? Y’all got me confused, don’t know what to buy. Thinking of PBR for old times sake.
I feel like you were one of those fools clowning me for being pissed off we couldn't drink at Thanksgiving because there would be a recovering alcoholic attending last year's festivities. My argument was that it didn't matter cause the guy wasn't serious about quitting and if seeing us drink there was going to set him off, it's a lost cause anyway. And sure enough we didn't drink, yet he was drinking again a week later.
Last year on another thread we were talking about Thanksgiving. The wife of a cousin asked the family not to serve wine at Thanksgiving because her husband was having trouble with alcohol and she didn't want him to fall off the wagon. I didn't bitch about it to my family nor her and respected the request, but I knew it was going to be pointless. I got a lot of grief for it on here, including from Mr. Camacho.
