playing hooky
Yesterday morning, I played my first round of golf for the season. With my coach. And I didn’t suck! We didn’t keep score but I think I was somewhere in the low 70’s (for 9 holes. simmer down.) But you need to be aware that this is about a 25 stroke improvement over the last round I golfed about 6 years ago.
25 strokes. At least. For those that don’t golf, that is A. Lot.
It was fun. And GolfPro was as excited as I was when I was swinging well.
I went into church afterward, to begin my usual Big Wednesday and apparently I had a goofy grin on my face because they wanted to know what was going on. I joked later with someone that maybe they thought I got laid. Of course, being at the church and all, they wouldn’t ask that. Not that some of them wouldn’t think it. Bless their hearts.
Anyway. One weird thing that happens when I’m working with GolfPro is that he always takes the opportunity to mention McKilt in the conversation. (You may remember that GolfPro was a recommendation from McKilt last fall.) His mentioning McKilt always surprises me and I feel awkward and think I probably look confused. Probably because I am. The two of them are long time (3-4 year) friends and I wonder about what McKilt has said to GolfPro about me. Am I supposed to be answering like a “girlfriend?” or is GolfPro fishing to find out if I am? Or if I want to be? How much game-playing is going on here? It’s especially weird when I get a voicemail an hour or so later from McKilt saying that he heard I had a good round and that he’s happy I had a good time.

Oh!! Those two are worse than a couple of teen-age girls! They are totally playing the “find out as much info as you can” game. We used to do it when we were in school. How funny.
Think about it. The both of them have actually had a real, live conversation about you and the golfing. GolfPro is definitely the “swingman”.
You Go Girl! Kick ass golf game and two men talking about you. Sweeeet!

J at the coffee shop thinks that it indicates McKilt is very interested. He (J) thinks that if McKilt were only luke-warm at best GolfPro 1) wouldn’t know about it and 2) wouldn’t call McKilt after my lessons and 3) McKilt wouldn’t call me after the chat with GolfPro.
J’s take on this leaves me with getting my hopes up and wondering if McKilt is working so hard on certain things for me

Wait. Did you get laid, or not?
(I’m sorry. It just seemed like someone was supposed to make that comment, so heck… why not me?)

heheh. Yeah, why not you?
And no, I didn’t. Thanks for asking.
