Thanks for the info. I am not surprised now I had bad information
since the guy who told me that I am learning is not very reliable. I
will admit do not play golf regularly and only ever tried once and
did have trouble hitting the ball. Will admit takes a lot of skill
to play. However I still have problem with the sport when I see some
of the top players look like they been sitting on the couch drining a
six pack and eating potato chips. Granted it is not all of them and
it seems like it is less on the women's tour but I guess I have my
concept on what a world class athlete should look like. Plus the
sport still though has that racist and sexist perception. While it
is disaperaing somewhat people like Mr. Johnson keep it alive.
Anyway it just frustrates me since I prefer Tennis and Soccer and
hear people slam those sports when they may be the best athletic
sports on the planet.
