Women and Golf

Yesterday I went golfing for the first time in a long time. Regardless of my golf game (I actually did pretty well considering my lack of practice), I was noticing the couple golfing behind us while I was waiting for the rest of my family to tee off. It was a husband and wife (though I figured they were just dating when I first saw them). She obviously had never played golf before, but she was out there trying her best.

What I was most impressed by was the fact that she was willing to go out there and play despite being terrible (though she did get a birdie on the last and hardest hole). I know that I’m not that great, but I don’t think I would be able to go out and play some sport I hadn’t ever played before in front of the person I was dating/married to. I would just be too embarassed.

Anyway, I was just impressed by women’s ability/willingness to do things that would totally embarrass me.
