| I think this says it all. |
When Jamie my son was 11, he announced he wanted to take up golf [again, it might have been the Wodehouse phase, or maybe it was the Waugh phase], so I joined this sort-of country club for a season [to pay the fees for which I had to teach two summer-course sections of The Family in Literature, a course I loathe].
I tried--the golf thing, I mean. I bought those knit polo shirts. I purchased and wore once a pair of skorts but I couldn't escape the feeling I was wearing a pair of Depends, only on the outside of my clothes.
So then I bought culottes. Oh, and they had this rule that everything had to be pastel. Pastels frighten me, which is why I have rendered the drawing to the right in black and white. I bought golf shoes, which were only marginally better than wearing bowling shoes but that's only because 1233 other people hadn't worn them before me.
I tried. But in the end, the overall effect was: impersonation.
Normally, I like impersonation, and you might say I've made a career of it.
But Golf Mom: that was way too big an impersonation.
Even for me.

I think I see your handicap.
I like how you said that you started golf and began with the shirts lulz. I guess that does count as equipment. Oh Polo...how you have made a killing in fashion.
Fantastic picture! I with you as far as pastels go - I am terrified of them. In fact, they have been known to make me feel quite unwell.

Astonishing style. I wish I could write that way.

I've gone miniature golfing and totally bomb it every time. Ugh.
I'm sorry I didn't draw any St. Patrick's clip art! *Ducking* Is it too late for you?
Found you from the A-Z Challenge, it sounds like it’s going to be so much fun (with a bit of stress thrown in) and I can’t wait to get started!! I’m now following your blog on GFC and I hope you have a chance to check out my blog.
