Much better than throwing clubs (or typewriters). :) Cath, screaming is OK (unless someone else is hitting the ball). Much better than throwing clubs (or typewriters). :)

I can't believe you've managed to come up with so many ways. Point 16 really resonates with me - I've been that screamer many times. Hi Brad – Thanks for the link love.

As a blogger what is write is there for all to see ( if they should wish of course!) but my golfing is kept strictly between me and my partner in any game. It will be a while til I take part in any public display. 2 I have been spending some time thinking about what we Scots have to offer in the world today. There is a school of thought that we tend to be a gloomy nation - but I think the small and "happy" band of us here - Joanna, Cath and Greenfee - are bucking the trend. Karen - your kind comments made my day. 3 As a relative latecomer to the game in question and someone who can see 2 golf courses from my office window ( I must try to upload a photo to demonstrate this!) I realise that I am now somewhat bitten by the bug that so many golfers have talked about in the past. Once it takes hold of your life there is no mistake....on that note ALSO a bit like writing. 19th hole here we come - we now need to create a virtual clubhouse and we are good to go.

They are not only generous, but witty and have a mastery of language I greatly admire. Joanna, good as the golf theme is, I hope you won't be disappointed that I chose a completely different metaphor for Robert's project. Karen, I love the Scottish bloggers I’ve met.

This project was a lot of fun Brad. Now I'm waiting to see how you write up golf as a metaphor for life :-) Joanna Very glad to have led you safely off the greens and into the clubhouse!

Oh yes those Scotswomen (and men) are quite the genius bunch and they seem to balance life out quite nicely with work and fun. Americans could certainly take a cue from them. ;-) LOL!
