FogGolf anyone?

So today, we had a lot of FOG and quite thick in several places around town. As I was driving by the Golf course, (I could drive this with my eyes shut (or in FOG) any day of the week because I drive past this same Golf Course a minimum of 6 times per day-- and still know exactly where I am) for the 5th time today-- it was a VERY thick FOG at this time-- limiting my driving vision to about 50 feet in front of my van....now I am not a golfer-- but I have tried my hand at Miniature Golf-- and one thing that I picked up on real fast, is that you have a target HOLE that you would like to aim towards,when hitting the ball-- requiring a "visual" on the target thus letting the sportsman know the strength needed to make the ball go in the desired direction at the desired loft and speed. Am I close in my assumption that the same goal would apply to regular golf?


So, remember the FOG factor as I tell you that I could see people, off in the barely there mist, on the Golf course. Now, unless they send the grounds-men out with Golf carts and Golf bags filled with Golf clubs-- I think there were people out today GOLFING. So I ask:
  • What were they aiming for?
  • WHY?
  • Did they not realize that there is still snow out there, in several areas of the Golf course?
  • WHY?
  • How do they know where to shoot for?
  • and how hard to hit their ball?
  • and where their ball landed?
  • so that they could go find their ball?
  • and finally, WHY?
of course I never have found the fascination with GOLF to begin with...not against a little--HIT, WALK, SEARCH, HOPE, FAIL...repeat...But, just never have tried it.

Forecast:   FOG-GOLF

I think golf is like a lot of things that occupy guys. "Just get me out of the house...don't care if I look stoopid, don't care if I get hurt or dirty. Just don't make me stay home and help. And guaranteed I will come home and brag about it while you do the laundry."
