Hello Grammyluv,
Please forgive me if I came across as saying it was wrong to read a book like this, rather I just didn't understand it. There's a lot of things I don't understand and that doesn't make them wrong. I'll give you a laugh and say that golf is one of them. My wife took golf in college and thought it would be relaxing for us. All I can say is we would have been like the three stooges with a third player. We did everything wrong and it was embarrassing. I can't remember if she passed that class or not.
By the way, you explained this well and I understand it now. I know lots of people who read all kinds of books for relaxation.
BUT, please don't try to explain golf to me because that's already been tried several times, including by my Son-In-Law. I needed two dozen golf balls to play the first 9 holes, and I felt like Custer at his last stand. Oh no. You didn't come across as thinking it was wrong at all. I just wanted to state that for anyone else reading.
I don't understand golf either! But give me some baseball and I'm right there. I am a die hard Mariner fan. Win or lose!
