Today's Sports

You can play golf or you can stroll a few miles with your friends, pausing occasionally to hit a small round object with a club, while chatting about your new kitchen curtains, the latest recipe for duck a l’Orange or the cute shirt you bought on sale last week at Belk.
That’s great fun but, let me assure you, real golf is better.   
And, if you’re going to play real golf in which you keep score, you will need to establish a handicap.
