Golf's saving grace is the beauty of some golf courses, notably Pebble Beach. Don't really play, but used to a long, long time ago and agree with Mark Twain. What a way to screw up a pleasant walk!
But the scenery when I watch the tour sometimes, like Pebbly Beach this weekend is so nice! At least, until I feel a vestigal, early urge to think about playing again. I turn it off at that point!
