Not Even a Good Walk

Mark Twain said “Golf is a good walk spoiled.” Here in Palm Desert that is not true. My wife’s cousin’s house looks out over a golf-course and I can assure you that noone’s walk is spoiled by the game; for no one walks the course. Everyone you see drives their buggy along the paths that border each hole; stop as close to their ball as possible, play the stroke and return to their vehicles. How different from golfers in the UK striding through the driving rain to play the game.
