I went to St. Andrews, the home of golf for most of my post high school education, and I never swung a single golf club once. Am I ashamed? Well, now perhaps I think it would be a good way to get some exercise, meet people, and get out of the house.
Do I regret not joining the University golf club? Perhaps, but then I doubt I could have told a golf ball from a football, or golf training aids from scuba diving aids. Really.
To make matters worse, I lived no less than five minutes from the Old Course in St. Andrews, and the Royal & Ancient was about six minutes walk. Oh, shame on me!
