A lovely and logical combination. I prefer to golf first, grab some lunch, then run up the slabs. We were concerned about the golf course and houses at first, but it actually improved the parking options, shortened the approach, and provided a handy bathroom. As long as they let me through the front door in my climbing attire and on the course dressed in that same attire, it's all good.

As for golf being an elitest sport - not so fast. My teamster Dad was an avid golfer, frequenting the inexpensive courses. He retired to a dirt cheap condo in Myrtle Beach. Plenty of them for sale at $20,000.

The only thing worse than my climbing is my golf game. Must need newer equipment, help from a Golf Pro and Rope Gun!!

I NEVER understood golf. Seems like something only climbers who have retired would do. B-o-r-i-n-g..... Gotta be the dumbest game ever.

Do something exciting in retirement instead of wasting your life playing golf. Do something exciting like SCA heavy fighting. Nothing like bashing your friends with big clubs and then drinking beer with them afterwards. Bruises and broken bones heal, but memories only fade with dementia....

the difference between a golfer and a climber: a golfer goes whack..."damn." a climber goes "damn"....whack.

Why do they call it golf?
Because the word fu*k was taken already

It was invented in Scotland, remember? But my question is why did they need something else besides the weather to drive them to drink?

Someone should scan the classic story of Burton and Sutton practising their drives from El Cap

Wandering through Goodwill today I saw a little tchotchke with the graphic:

"A day without golf ... is probably your wife's birthday."
Aside from the gender assumption, pretty funny.
