Fret not…

…I didn’t get the crocs.  The biggest reason I was going to was because, well, they’re cheap, and I can’t be investing but so much into this golf.  It’s already becoming an obsession, but I ain’t got the money to be a golfer.  I can just afford to play golf.  There’s a difference.

Anyway, at the suggestion of my man BG, I went with some Footjoys.  And, I must say, I don’t feel like so much of an amateur at the range.  Granted, golf shoes don’t change the fact that I usually swing in a beater and hooping shorts, but thems the breaks.  To tell the truth, I can’t figure out why they don’t play golf in hooping shorts already.  It’s hot as hell out there.

(Random note — Max asked where I’m writing these days.  Right now, nowhere.  I’ve been meaning to freelance more, but it’s been hectic with the radio stuff.  I’ll do a longer post on that later, but know this — I write.  That’s what I do.  No matter how deep I get in this radio thing, I’ll always be a writer doing radio, even if people I ever wrote in the first place.  Times are just a little hard for writers, though.)

1. Interestingly, I sent the product page to a guy I’m seeing that plays golf and he was all over them, but style isn’t a first priority for him…

2. Just ordered my first set o’ cheap clubs from Dick’s Sporting Goodies and apparently it takes 3.4 years for them to arrive. Maybe by then, I’ll be rid of this nasty slice I have. The Golf Warehouse has Nike golf shoes on super sale right now if you haven’t made that purchase yet. Very economical.

4. Bo…i think you made the right choice. I love crocs, but I don’t think they offer enough support on the ankle and heel for golf. I rock New Balance golf shoes myself and love em.

   Again. We can’t thank you enough for your contribution. (And future contributions)

7. They don’t play golf in beaters and hoop shorts for the same reason they don’t wrestle in t-shirts and jogging pants…”they” don’t want us black athletes in the sport. They know how we like to take over shit.
