Golf Just Isn’t My Thing

Little Man has been going to the driving range with his grandpa. He loves sports and will watch about anything on t.v. with a ball. He was excited to get to try his hand at golf. Honestly, I don’t get it. Golfing is expensive, over priced. The equipment is outrageous and course fees are too. He came home talking about wanting a set of clubs of his own, and how grandpa wanted Callaway irons for Christmas. I hate to disappoint him, but I can’t afford golf. The kids who are on the golf team here are kids who live in our upscale community that has a golf course and pro shop for the residents. Unless I hit the lottery, that isn’t going to happen in my single mom world.

I talked her into buying one and loaded five audio books on it. She still has room for, I don’t know, a gazillion more. She was pretty impressed. When mom packed for her trip last month, she save a whole bag by just tucking the ipod into her purse instead of packing a tape player and four or five audio books on cassette. Now, if I could just get her to buy a dvd player.
