The only golf I have ever played is miniature golf, and I haven’t gone golfing at a miniature golf course since I was a teenager.
Incidentally, I have heard sports announcers use the term “golfing”—at baseball games, when describing a style of swinging the bat.
My husband got me into golf. He tried to teach me. By the third hole he was screaming and I was crying. About five seconds AFTER THAT he got the teaching pro to instruct me. I've LOVED the game since then.
My husband had a handicap of about EIGHT, which is fabulous. When we lived in Saudi Arabia there was VERY LITTLE to do, so he played A LOT of golf...and got down to SCRATCH!! Wow.
The golf club over there in our little town gave out CRYSTAL decanters and bowls for prizes. I LOVED going to the awards dinners.
That was a long time ago. He's gone now and I give away those lovely pieces of crystal to very special friends for very special events. He would have thought that was a GOOD use of his crystal prizes.

That tells me that those baseball announcers are NOT golfers. :o)
