Random Saturday Golf Thoughts

- I promised I'd give up golf, but I've played four times in the last couple of months. It's kinda like crack - I played today with my good friend Joseph at Robson Ranch just south of Denton. - Robson Ranch is a retirement community that has spent a fortune on advertising over the last five years - The advertising has worked: there are a ton of homes in the community - Noticing how they all pretty much look alike - in a boring sort of way - I finally found one for sale along the golf course. For 1,500 square feet, it'll cost you $230,000. - I'm stunned at the prices of homes at Robson Ranch - I found a 2,300 square foot home for $320,000 - There doesn't appear that there is a much to do at Robson Ranch. - For every five golf shots I shank, one sweet one will keep me coming back again. - Golf is a four hour game. - If you show up an hour early to get organized and hit the driving range, golf is a five hour game. - If you hang out with your buddies after golfing, golf is a six hour game. - We were involved in a six hour game, and I think my friend's wife is very angry with him. - If you factor in driving to and from the golf course, golf becomes a seven hour game. - People cuss a lot on the golf course
