Well, yes I do get a big manic about it. That is what happens when you get real close to being good, but haven't quite gotten there yet. Just like today when I headed out to the range at lunch in a 25 MPH wind. Did nothing for my game, but I felt better.
A good time to practice for advanced players IMO. The wind really helps you learn to control the ball!
knock down shots to about 100 yards with a 7 iron, working it both ways

Unfortunately the range sits straight downwind with slightly downhill lies. It is interesting to see wedges go up then flatten out like they hit a ceiling. Long irons were especially frustrating. The jack rabbits were shaking in their furry feet! Driver was fun though.

Well this big ole helicopter thang come down out the sky . . . and there was this whatchacallit that looked just like a wo-man. . . it said . . . GET YOUR CLUBS LET'S PLAY 36!!! I fell straight off the damn tractor . . . when I come to . . . there wuz an upside down footjoy logo right there on my noggin. And some strange lookin' chunks of grass that looked like a dang bacon strip. I ain't come out the double wide since even when that tornado ripped the roof of the shed.
Uh are you from Mars? I have never met such a being. Take me to your leader.
Hmmm....what is this? I too have never met such a being...you have any single friends ThinkingPlus??

I know what you mean. You sure can have some funny 'dancing' trajectories when the wind is really blowing. Especially with range balls that have varying levels of dimples left on them.

Most of the range balls around here resemble ping pong balls rather than golf balls. Actually, being able to hit a low slice-hook balloon ball on a short par 3 with a five iron could come in handy!

Unfortunately, no. I almost never play golf with other women. Being in the engineering field tends to restrict my social contacts to geeky males. My hubby and I occasionally get matched up with other couples. It is fun, but I end of feeling bad for the other lady. I have two options. If I play the tees with the guys, then the other woman is left alone at the lady's tees (not very social of me). If I play the lady's tees then I bomb driver 75+ yards past hers and feel bad about it all day.
I usually find it easier playing with the guys. Then I don't feel so guilty when I bomb it past them and I get to see some extraordinary swings-out-of-their-shoes high slices OB trying to keep up.

No offense to any of my Koolaid Pals . . . but I imagine there's some pretty dorky dudes studying the Little Yellow Book.
I happen to be very familiar with at least one . . .

Geeks! No geeks round here! I can't stand those uppity little wimps.
As soon as I get done with a few things today I'm going to set you straight! But first I need to define a few next generation computer products, sell a few stock options, and pick up my Mercedes at the detailer. I'll finish posting a response from my PDA after my vendor dinner meeting at the club.
