[speaker001:] um we our subject is golf
[speaker002:] and that's a good subject that I like to talk about
[speaker001:] well good because I thought my goodness I'm I'm a definitely a beginner at golf
[speaker002:] oh are you do you play
[speaker001:] um I took lessons a couple of not last spring but spring before last and uh
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] I really enjoyed it and I had taken years ago and I never could see that what I was doing was causing that little ball to do anything and so um but when went I took this time you know it actually went up in the air and and I I mean I could see that what I was doing made a difference and so um my husband and I uh took together he had played some
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh
[speaker001:] already and then we started playing some and and we played in the summer a few times and then I teach and I don't have time to during the school year much but um
[speaker002:] oh that's the way to do it yeah um-hum right well you got weekends
[speaker001:] well it just seems like it just is all a it really does and then uh and in the spring we've we've been lucky enough to go to several of those tournaments around here the uh
[speaker002:] it takes a lot of time yeah it does
[speaker001:] one at Las Colinas and uh the Byron Byron Nelson and I've loved watching so I'm I'm definitely a good spectator for not so much on TV but you know for live
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh um-hum well I even I enjoy it on TV uh it once you get into it a little more you'll enjoy it on TV also
[speaker001:] well now you know actually I have occasionally occasionally watched a little of it and I never did ever before I took these lessons my my son uh plays golf and he's oh he loves to watch it on TV so I guess if you play a lot you
[speaker002:] uh-huh uh-huh yes the more you get into it you you'll really enjoy it on TV too I think or or everybody I know that does
[speaker001:] right well how about well well what about you
[speaker002:] yeah I play all the time well not all the time but I try to get in at least we play where there's a little course go down East Texas and we go down there a lot in Mount Vernon
[speaker001:] where is that uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh
[speaker001:] that is that very far
[speaker002:] no it's a hundred miles I'm originally from there and we go down nearly every weekend my folks live there so we have a place to stay and uh it's it's just so much fun when you got a regular group of your buddies you play with
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh sure
[speaker002:] so that's what I do and the wife took it up about two or three years ago and she's she's enjoyed it a lot but it's hard to get the girls to play you know
[speaker001:] uh-huh it is
[speaker002:] and uh so she doesn't really get to play you know enough enough not nearly enough although what she does she and I'll play sometimes you know and and she enjoys it but
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh right
[speaker002:] and she enjoys playing with the girls but heck most of the time they're not all playing you know
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and course I've got a group that I play with
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so it makes it a little bit difficult there but we enjoy it it's a lot of fun and uh one of the best parts about it once she took it up was when we'd go on a little trip somewhere not long trips or anything but just little trips you know well it was always real good to to take our clubs and she could we could play golf
[speaker001:] oh I know I think that's that's great
[speaker002:] whereas before I probably wouldn't even get to play you know and now she enjoys playing with me and and we you know it it just makes the trips more enjoyable for me
[speaker001:] uh-huh sure
[speaker002:] so uh
[speaker001:] so uh how long have you been playing
[speaker002:] oh I've been playing probably twenty years or longer I didn't start it nearly as young as I should have I think I was about
[speaker001:] oh wow uh-huh
[speaker002:] twenty uh I don't know I guess I've been playing longer than that since I'm fifty I've probably been playing uh twenty five years
[speaker001:] uh-huh well um that I mean that's what they all say is that you know that's one of those things that you just can't start young enough
[speaker002:] yeah uh-huh well you most well you think you'd be better if you started early I'm not so sure that's true I see
[speaker001:] especially I guess if you you start early and you just get get good lessons and you do it right I guess and
[speaker002:] yeah some some people that helps but then some people are just good at it and some are not
[speaker001:] I I guess so it really is interesting
[speaker002:] uh now now you're gonna improve and it helps to take lessons and and play a lot you're going definitely gonna get better but I'm talking about the difference from being a
[speaker001:] so
[speaker002:] uh mid nineties to low uh high I mean a low nineties to a mid eighties shooter which that's what I am to being a guy that shoots in the low seventies
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh my well you're doing real well
[speaker002:] that doesn't sound like a lot of difference but believe me it's a lot of difference it really is
[speaker001:] well um uh did and so do you play around here some
[speaker002:] I used to play around here all the time but I don't any more since we just I just play down there now
[speaker001:] uh-huh where would you play here
[speaker002:] uh my favorite courses around here are uh Fire Wheel
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and uh I I like Chase Oaks real well but it's kind of expensive
[speaker001:] oh so is Fire Wheel not as expensive
[speaker002:] no it's a it's a municipal course Garland owns it city of Garland owns and that's how
[speaker001:] oh well I I course have you ever played at Plano
[speaker002:] oh yeah Plano's a good course I've played there oh gosh ever since it's been there many many times
[speaker001:] well well is it competitive well we've played that's where we've played mostly we've played at Chase Oaks too but um
[speaker002:] it's an excellent golf course Chase Oaks is difficult you really need to be a good golfer to play Chase Oaks
[speaker001:] oh horrors I mean we just lose jillions of balls and
[speaker002:] yeah if you're not a really good golfer don't waste your time at at Chase Oaks yeah it's too
[speaker001:] that's discouraging isn't it
