golf or not?
When DH and I married in 1964, I decided I wanted to learn golf.  I had taken lessons before our wedding and once when he came to visit we went out to play.  I hit a monstrous stroke - the ball hit two trees and wound up just an inch from a (?) hole in one.  This irritated him enormously.  When we went to live in Texas, I tried playing with him, but my tennies slipped.  He wanted to get me golf shoes with cleats.  I really worked at explaining that I needed to play barefooted.  I like my bare feet on the ground, and I found I could hold on with my toes.  If this sounds simian, consider the source.  At any rate, such a thing is apparently "just not done".  My friend Heather and I played several times, just as barefooted as yard dogs, but I learned to watch DH play.  He just never could convince me that 'real' golfers wore proper shoes.  I remembered this when I wrote the previous post about shoes and feet.  I just never liked shoes.  I do like to watch golf on TV.  Nobody yells.
