Why do I still play golf?
Because for 2 hours I can leave cancer and all my bullshit back in the parking lot with my other shoes.

I don't care about Jon Rahm or rolling back the golf ball.
I like walking outside, hitting slingy draws, and listening to Steely Dan with a Yeti full of Dr Pepper in my cup holder.
Real golf won't change one bit.

You put me in the hospital. You scared my wife and kids. You've threatened my future. You've stolen my peace of mind.
I might not hit it as far and can't manage walking the course (yet) but I'm here.
Fuck you, cancer. You don't get golf, too.

We really need to start a service where a regular dude just hangs out with these chodes for a weekend to them how to tie a fishing knot, throw a curveball, hold open a door, back up a trailer, etc. They clearly need decent male role models.

It wasn't the nausea from chemo that derailed my goal of walking 18 today. I just couldn't stomach watching one more effing practice swing from the Strata toting douchebags ahead that had a truly remarkable disregard for pace. Two hours through 6.

Fighting terminal cancer is hard enough without dealing with New Year's bullshit from my insurance company.
25 years as an ICU nurse and I have to suffer the indignity of the bureaucracy when it's my turn in the barrel.
I'm still gonna kill this thing.

Easy chemo day.
Had her empty for an hour and stayed after they pulled the pins.
The ball was ripping off the wedge and the nippers had teeth so make your own pin and watch a sunset.
I'm grateful to still find joy in the game wherever I can.

Played my first whole 18 since being diagnosed (albeit with a cart today). Monster number. No speed. Body not cooperating 2 days out from chemo.
Still happy to be out and the pork missile at the turn was sublime.

This is “The Carl”. I’ll be taking this head over to NC in a few weeks for golf then he’ll go to a random member of The Velcren who will then play a round and pass him along. Carl will see the world and spread the gospel of the hammering nails.

You can’t reason with those people, dude. The same people that are against the reproductive rights of women are actively protecting the reproductive rights of the Cornavirus. At this point, keep your head down and protect you and yours. They’re a lost cause.

Shooting a low score is cool.
Hitting a spinny nipper is cool.
Bombs are cool, too.
However, your sons bringing down their clubs to pack in the car before a trip might just be the best feeling in golf.
